DIS Dads DDC XXX: Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike, What Day Is It Mike?

[declansdad]

Morning Guys,

Back in the office for the short week.

Hope you all have a good one.

Good morning.

Those flour vandals hit Indiana last night. Whit stuff on the ground everywhere. Seems to be disappearing pretty quickly this morning though.

Either way, I'm glad we finished shelling corn this weekend. Still a lot of crops out there though.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

‘Morning all…

First off: A thanks to our veterans. It’s a day late, but it is heartfelt.

Now then…

Happy
Anniversary

Wow! Have we really been at this for six years?

Good that it’s not causing you too much trouble.
Congrats on getting the shelling done. So how’s the harvest going this year?
Certainly sounds better than last year and by a long shot.

Congrats on getting the shelling done. So how’s the harvest going this year?

Well, for us, over. And record yields. So about as good as we could ask for. Much needed after last year. We followed our record worst crop with the record best.

Still a lot of people around here finishing up. My Father in Law has about 400 acres of corn left, so we've taken our trucks over to help him finish. That's the limiting factor this year, nobody can haul the corn away quick enough to keep the combine rolling, but that is a good problem to have.

First Vanderbilt now Tampa Bay. TAMPA BAY?

Man I am enjoying this football season.

Even as your nemie, I can't do anything but send condolences to you. The Miami train has been derailed. Tampa couldn't even lose on purpose.

I will however take what little I can and point out that the lowly Celtics with no upper level talent beat your Heat this week. Really. The Celtic beat the Heat. I swear. Check the box scores.

Enjoy the snow free weather.

How to be entertained in Texas.

1. Wait for a hard freeze to be announced.
2. Go to the grocery store watch half the town show up to by water, fireplace logs, and faucet covers.
3. Go to work the next day (when it is still 50 degrees outside and the cold front remains several hours away) and observe the winter clothing that would rival the gear worn by Han Solo when he has stuffing Luke into a tauntaun.

I love Texas death, but we sure can be a funny folk when the temps start to dip.

The Celtics have something the Heat don't. Brad Stevens

I still don't know how well he'll translate to the NBA, but he has definitely shown an ability to win with lesser talent. Anybody could coach the Heat.

Good morning gentlemen. I've been off the board for a few days. Hope everyone is doing well.

This was my first weekend working swung shift instead of grave. I didn't figure I'd have such a hard time adjusting but I did. Each night I was only able to sleep 3 to 4 hours. Hope that straightened itself out soon.

 

[RodBelding]

Trying to hook up with Carl and Paul for a December run. Carl says I can do a 1/2 no problem. The furthest I've ran in months are 5Ks.

We should def do this!

 

[mm1971]

Happy Monday on a Tuesday! I decided to stay home from work yesterday. Monster mini-golf with the kids and managed to get the Christmas lights strung up on the house. Cleaned the gutters and figured do both at the same time. Now if I can just get the leaves cleaned up, I can start the process of placing all of the other decorations. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

DD won her last AAU tournament on Sunday. Pic of her team, DD is top row middle:

Hey, All! I think I did this backwards. Posted my brief bio and introduction at the other page looking to join the dads then was told to come here to get my number. It will be fun to be around such sane, rational, and like-minded guys with the right priorities - family, Disney, bacon.

James

As most have pointed out, WELCOME!, but not sure where the rumors of sane and rational came from.

Guess I should of ran this morning. Looks like I'm waking up to snow tomorrow morning.

a little snow during the commute this morning. Basically everyone decided that they had never seen snow before and made the commute about an hour longer than it needed to be. It's flurries people and the roads are barely wet.

Happy
Anniversary

Results of last nights gift auction, I fell a little short of what I would have liked but all in all it still wasn't that bad, this is what I won

Hope to do better on my next one Sat, Kind of came out even on this one but it was a lot better then nothing

Better than nothing. Good luck next week.

Morning boys

Morning Guys,

Back in the office for the short week.

Hope you all have a good one.

Morning David, Darcy and the rest of the Dads! Short week here as well with a short day today. Need to visit the dr. for a sore foot. I'm guessing it's a pulled tendon or something, but figured I better get it checked out before I do more damage.

Here, we do the run on the grocery stores for milk, eggs, and bread. So, in case there's is a blizzard and we are trapped in our home for a month, we'll have enough French toast to last.

Everyone always said was a great coach Phil Jackson was. He sure was great, winning championships with Jordan, Bryant, and O'Neal.

Glad to hear you are having a problem with the record high yield crops. Much better than the other way around.

Thst is either really cool or really sad.

I love Texas to death, but we sure can be a funny folk when the temps start to dip.

They do similarly foolhardy things here but go after slightly different items required to weather the “storm”. We refer to the process as: “Covering the B-B-Basics” as they go out and buy up all the Beer, Bread and Batteries (and in that order of importance).

Ya’ never know…
The snow (if we get any) could stick to the ground for nearly an hour or two so folks like to stock up.

Thst is either really cool or really sad.

Absolutely…

Good to hear the yields are strong. I'll have to check with my brother to see how the crops came out by him this year. He's cutting back on milking and selling more crops for the first time this year, so I'm guessing he's a bit nervous.

Congrats!



Well, I've decided it's time. The half inch or so of snow has but me in the mood. I'm streaming Disney Christmas music from d-cot from now until the new year.

 

[that's nice]

5K is a lot farther than I will run this entire year, heck, decade.

And I totally believe this statement.

Sean sent me bacon, so he's got my vote thus far.

So you're saying you can be bribed?

That looks awesome. I would totally head up for that one if I didn't already know that I will have a hangover that day. MIL's Christmas Glogg party is the night before.

Hangover? HANGOVER? You're gonna miss out on that sweet tech shirt because of a little hangover? BAH HUMBUG!

Lot of threats of snow up here, lots of areas are getting hit. So far nothing for us....Thank you Lake-Effect!

I woke up to a little bit on the grass. The roads were clear but the stairs were a bit slippery.

I'm not sure I can do that weekend. I believe Melody is on call and I have to work Saturday.... GRRRRRR

Sweet! Congrats to her!!!!

Yup... gotta love the first snow of the year.

I'd give you grief but up here we do the same thing. Only difference is, here it stays cold for so long, by the time it gets back to 50 everyone's blood has thickened to the point they can wear shorts.

Wow, I've wasted six years of my life with you peop--uh, I mean...has it gone by that fast?

Uh oh. Delaware is more like Kentucky than I'd care to admit.

 

[AirGoofy]

So you're saying you can be bribed? .

Absolutely. I accept bribes, and am willing to vote in anything contested.

You forgot the Bourbon....

We never forget the bourbon. State law requires a Kentuckian to be in possession of bourbon at all times - external or internal - optional.

I'm still holding onto that dream of 10 years to move to Florida, if not sooner with the lotto.

I just stopped wearing shorts last week!

 

[Twin Dad]

I just stopped wearing shorts last week!

Me too. I already had to break out the kids' winter jackets. I don't need mine for a bit longer. I have a heavy duty hoodie that is good down to about 10 degrees.

Ya we did too, I'm usually a tshirt and light jacket guy for basically the entire winter
