Happy Friday Gentlemen

Happy Friday to you too Carl!

 

[DisneyDaddy-O]

I changed dates... 10/30-11/5. You still gonna be there on the 30th?

That would be some trip if you were still there.

We will just miss you, we check out on the 29th! Maybe next time

One more day at the restaurant, will be a crazy busy day, we have to clean up everything at the end of the night because we are closing. Probably get home around 10, get the van packed up, get cleaned up and ready to leave 3am. That should get us to Rock Hill, SC in time for dinner.

Anybody in the area that could give us a good dinner recommendation?

‘Morning all…
Not so busy day scheduled for work today, but that will change once I get home and continue packing the house for the move. Got a lot done so far, but got a lot more to do as well.

Good Morning everyone....for most of you it's FRIDAY!
(I work tomorrow so it doesn't feel like it )

Like I said, I’m working tomorrow as well…
Just not getting paid for it.

This morning on the group FB page someone put up a hornets’ nest about the recent situation in Washington and I grabbed a big old stick and took a full fledged whack at it. It was a busy morning and I was offline until after the post was rightly taken down so I did not see the aftermath. Not sorry about what I wrote but I do apologize for picking up the stick in the first place. Putting myself in the sorry corner on FB for a little while. No need to discuss here (it is also inappropriate in this forum) but if anyone wants to comment/criticize/discuss my response, they can send me a PM.

Now back to eating bacon.

Trouble Maker!

Looks like the Sox are one win away. Not confident, but with two cracks at it we should be able to win 1.

There was also a robbery at the Victoria's Secret in Evansville, IN. I can't be everywhere.

Now your stealing bourbon and wearing women's underwear. Not really something I wanted to envision on a Friday morning.

As a Team Sparrow member, this ride may be a requirement. We'll check it out in April.

Line was over 60 minutes in August so we skipped it last time. Will try again on the next trip.

One more day at the restaurant, will be a crazy busy day, we have to clean up everything at the end of the night because we are closing. Probably get home around 10, get the van packed up, get cleaned up and ready to leave 3am. That should get us to Rock Hill, SC in time for dinner.

Rock Hill? Really? Well then that would be me… We live just a couple exits north of there.
About what time do you think you’ll be getting in and what kind of dinner did you have in mind?
I suspect that your hotel is on Dave Lyle Blvd (Exit 79) so I’ll rattle off a few of the places that we frequent by exit number starting at the SC state line

Exit 90 (Carowinds Blvd): Mostly chain restaurants including a "Culver's” of all the odd things to find in SC (get the cheese curds).

Exit 88 (Gold Hill Rd / SC-460): There is an excellent South’rn style “Fish Camp” here called “Captaiin Steve’s”. Very good (especially the baby shrimp, salt-n-pepper catfish and perch filets). Mostly fried (I did say it was south’rn), but there are other items on the menu as well).

Exit 85 (SC-160 / this is the road we live off of). Again there is a lot of fast food, but there is a local Pizza/Sports bar called “Empire Pizza” that just opened its third location here that is quite good. There is a great Cuban restaurant called “Carlos Café” a couple miles west of the exit (one of our favorite meals anywhere… seriously). Right near that place is a spot called Danny’s Pizza & Pasta that is also quite good. Hands down, the best Mexican in the area (Los Aztica) is couple miles to the east of the exit and just down the road from my house (and probably where I’ll be having dinner tonight).

Now you get into Rock Hill - - -

Exit 82C & 82B (Celenese Rd / SC-161): Several Chain Restaurants (think: Outback), but more importantly there is also a “Krispy Kreme Doughnuts” right here.


Exit 82A (Cherry Rd / US-21): Again, a whole lot of fast food, but the spot we like here is called “Luigi and Sons”. It’s run by a family from Long Island, and we love the food here, but I’d go early as from time to time the service “can” be a might slow during the dinner hours.

Exit 79 (Dave Lyle Blvd / SC-122), a lot of chain restaurants here as well from “Olive Garden” to “Cracker Barrel”. When we’re down that far we either go to “5 Guys” for a rather good sloppy burger or to “Buffalo Wild Wings” for some pub-grub.

If any of this sounds good or if you have something else in mind let me know and I’ll hunt down some more ideas or get you specific directions and menus if possible.

Never been to Rock Hill, SC. Just wanted to say "good luck, we're all counting on you". Safe travels! and may all the traffic pull to the right and provide clear sailing.

Good Morning Scott and David.

Good Morning Dads! It's finally the end of another week. Looks like DD ranked #2 in tryouts for hoop and will be playing on the top team this winter. DS will most likely play on the B(or second) team. That's Alexandra 2 - Evan 0 in making teams this year. Can't be good for the boy's morale. I'll have to take him out for bacon and ice cream. It's kind of mixed feelings. DS has worked so hard over the last year to get ready and he just does not try out well. Given the opportunity he would outplay half the kids on the top team. Very proud of DD and her efforts.

Two more days of tryouts. 3 hours tonight and 6 on Sunday. No kids in these ones. I am the director for town so just evaluating and getting the teams together.

I don't frequent Facebook too often (as Tim pointed out last night) but I happened to look in and see the fallout. I don't know what you did CJ, but now that I've seen the fallout I want to know!

Well today was the day MagicBands and FP+ became open for our December 11 trip. And I could not be more disgusted with Disney. I hated how FP+ reservations are done. If they are going to force me me do this in advance, I want complete control over it, one fastpass at a time. They make you select all 3 at once each day, then they give you 3 or 4 arranged times and they all stretch out with an hour in between each time. Many go from morning into afternoon so you can't block it up in the AM easily. Rotten.

I hate to hear things like this about FP+. I've never experienced it myself, but I've had a hard time convincing myself to want to even give it a chance. I just hear so many things about it that I just don't like...

I'd like to know what was said...

Yep, my sentiments exactly. It also doesn't work well for park hoppers like my family. When I get some time, I plan to provide my personal review of pros/cons.

I look forward to seeing what you have to say about it.

Dude - it's a Culver's.

But yes, get the cheese curds. We got one the other day at our local Culver's that looked a bit...familiar.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Dude - it's a Culver's.

You are correct sir!
My bad… wrote that without thinking about it.
There are only two of them in either Carolina and we’re still getting use to the thing even being here.

The frozen custard is also pretty good for a chain I must admit.

No one wants to see that - ever.

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

That's about the same price for Basil Hayden here. So much for economic theory. With all the transportation costs, it should be way higher. Yeah to corporate price fixing.

:

And people ***** an complain about our prices being high, how they can go to the States and get it cheaper. What a crock.

Well, you can certainly tell I had the day off yesterday,my section is a freaking MESS and very little was done. I am quite snarly today.

That is the worst kind!

Well, something has to keep you out of trouble.

Rule #1: never, ever, ever talk about politics on Facebook.

All hail the Mickey cheese curds!

I hope you called the papers and put in an air tight container.

I thought Rule #1 was "Read the F'n Clue". But I would agree that this should be a rule on the list as well.

I must admit I've been MIA lately and completely missed what was posted / taken down from Facebook.

I hope you called the papers and put in an air tight container.

The container wasn't exactly air tight - it occasionally burps and/or farts.

 

[that's nice]

RATS!!!! Oh well... couldn't plan that better if we tried.

Like I said, I’m working tomorrow as well…

Sounds like fun...

Ummm..... that vision is actually pretty funny!

Paul, what a generous offer, but I don't want to interfere with your run training, so I'll decline.

What do you mean? That IS my training! Just ask Carl!
