Sure did...won the Club Classic for the year.

Why they decided to have it on the Saint John's River is beyond me.

They didn't stand a chance because none of them fish it, and I fish it all the time...:confused3:thumbsup2:cool1::rotfl2:

And nobody knows the good fishing spots better than someone who swims the river... :rolleyes1
 
I've done several times and LOVED it every time....If you decide to do it, call and book Eddie from New Jersey. Best guide out there. Ask to fish the Epcot Lake, I liked it a better. It's now a tradition with me and my DS.




So you go fishing with a guy named Eddie (maybe Fast Eddie) from New Jersey. Makes you wonder if you're going to catch something that was sleepin wit the fishes.....nah, fuhgedaboutit.

I hope not...been there, done that...:rotfl2:
 

Good Morning Randall. How's the hip and rehab coming?

Doing really well. Doctor appt tomorrow, expect to be released to work again.

I've had this happen at my DS's soccer matches. He's the size of a 7 year old, and has been playing with me since he could walk (in other words, he can be a little rough, and he's very very good (actually scary good---waaaay beyond where I'd expect a 6 year old to be and I've been coaching well over 20 years).....and of course they won't let him play up a year (where he really should be).

For his age group, coaches (me) are on the field with the kids, and a lady yelled something derogatory at him, which caused me to go off on her (luckily G didn't hear it---more luckily for her, my wife didn't hear it:lmao:).

Of course she went to the league administrator (who I've been coaching with for a decade) and filed an official complaint. Of course, she left out what she did--and that according to not only my parents, but some of hers, she had been running her trap the whole game.

It was shut down, but she persisted and took it all the way to the Commanding Officer (Base League). The CO took the complaint and told his Secretary..."Mike Lake....as in Mike Lake the NCIS supervisor?? Get that woman out of my office" and backed me up:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

The next Saturday, she and her husband intentionally walked through my warm ups and kicked a ball away from my players...unfortunately for him, I was standing there talking to his Master Chief (who is a friend of mine) when they did it....the Public A$$ Chewing right then and there was so spectacular, and so demonstrative that everybody out there on the field stopped to watch. My players (being 5 year olds) were like..."ooooo Coach, that man is in trouble":lmao::lmao::lmao:

It looked like a long walk back to the parking lot for him and his wife as the Master Chief unloaded on her too. Nothing like Kharma, and I have never seen them again:goodvibes:goodvibes:goodvibes

:rotfl::rotfl2::lmao::worship:

You know what... I'm getting so used to it that single digit temps don't even bother me right now. As long as they don't have a - in front of them. It was sunny, there wasn't freezing rain coming down, it was a beautiful weekend. :thumbsup2

I spent quite a bit of time outside this weekend having some fun sledding. If I watch much more of the Olympics, I might end up going to Dicks Sporting Goods to pick up some snowboards. My 4 year old son asked if he could have one when we were watching it Saturday. And this was even after he wiped out on a sled and scratched his face all up. That kid LOVES the snow.
 
Morning guys. Another Monday, another snow day for the public schools. :rotfl2:

It was a busy weekend with a bunch of computer time over the weekend trying to get life's chaos organized and managed to do a pretty good job at it.5 years worth of financial records, insurance information etc are now on a flash drive instead of shoved in boxes and the papers are shredded. :cool1:

Every five years or so I get interested in genealogy research. Assuming I am correct, I managed to track my paternal line back to 1601 in West Peckham, County Kent, England. My 10th great grandfather arrived in the US in Salem, MA 1630 and my son son has the same name as his 10th great-grandfather.

But the most important question, any claims to the British throne?

:lmao:

Make sure you get him the cheapest one. He's gonna grow out of it very quickly.

Back to work? Well that's not nice. :scared1:
 
Well somehow I got it finished mind you the end product doesn't look like what THEY wanted it to but looks like what I want. Still I can breathe a little.

Afternoon gentlemen. Busy season at work is in full swing. Business is up and heaven help you if you need a Friday or Saturday off.

Peanut Butter and Beverly. Rubber Ducky grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I had to be confronted by a rich entitled soccer mommy at the Taekwondo school. Yes my daughter did an illegal sparring move. But no one yells at my kid but me. And no (swear word about this woman) is ever going to shame my child. And then when I actually have a polite exchange with her by email (it truly was) she goes and demands that the school owner meet with me. Because I'm also an instructor (not for my daughter), he had to give me the what for (and give me the wink after). My blood is boiling so much I could melt all the snow in the Midwest.


Sorry to rant on this thread but @&$@&##%!!!!!!!
As your nemesis, I wish I could take credit but I'm not that mean. Sorry you had to deal with that.

Sorry Sean. What you need now is a paper bag, a dog and matches... :rolleyes1
:lmao::rotfl2::lmao::rotfl2::rotfl2::lmao: :thumbsup2
Morning guys.

A cold has me under the weather this morning.

Fishing in the rain all day on Saturday probably had something to do with it, which is probably the reason DW has absolutely no sympathy whatsover...:lmao:

Supposed to be 71 here today...:beach:
This how you fish in winter.

And the 71 degrees is why you'll get no sympathy here either.:sick:
What he said.
I anyone else noticing the boards being very slow lately, or is it just me?
My android app has been flaky for a month. That's why my posting has been going in spurts.

I like your thinking. :thumbsup2
 
We have approx. 7 more weekends to get things done before we leave for Poland. I decided to start a project this weekend that I hope all the kids enjoy. We have a loft that is a good play space, so to add a little more fun, I decided to paint a large portion of the wall in chalkboard paint. Its not done yet, becuase I couldnt start until yesterday and I'm waiting for the third coat of primer (red walls originally) to dry.

Any of you guys have chalkboard walls for your kids?

I have never done a wall but I did a desktop for my DD, and it worked pretty well. Are you using the roll on or spray on?
 
I was home today and started watching curling. I had a list of stuff to work on but I can't stop watching.
 
I am glad you'all ain't posting much. Pain in the A that DIS is soooooo slow.

Women's curling is a repeat from this morning, watching men moguls. Great wipe outs. :rotfl2:
 
Maybe I should up my WDW budget now!
- just may have to do that Fishing Excursion after all!


Still waiting for a few documents. Hope to have them done but he end of February, but not looking good. The fishing trip is excellent. DS and I did it a few years ago. Caught a bunch of fish and then a lot of BIG ones right at the dock when we were finishing up. It was a lot of fun and a good change of pace.

I've done several times and LOVED it every time....If you decide to do it, call and book Eddie from New Jersey. Best guide out there. Ask to fish the Epcot Lake, I liked it a better. It's now a tradition with me and my DS.
