DIS Dads DDC XXXII: A Dole Whip in Paradise

[budamacdvcr]

Afternoon gents! Hawks got up off the mat last night - thank the maker. Yes Norm, that Makers Mark too

Normally I would say Mondays suck... but today was pretty awesome. Got to play a round of golf with a great group of guys with good weather. Free lunch, and an evening with my DD out riding bikes and kicking the soccer ball around. I'm beat.

Now that's an outstanding right there, I don't care who ya are.

Less then 48hrs till WDW, Yeah Baby

Congrats and enjoy!

I was on the golf team in high school, too. Even managed to break 80 a handful of times over the years.

Then I had kids. Now I'm thrilled if I can find the ball after my tee shots.

On the bright side, you can side step lego's like a ninja in a minefield

Had this greet me Sunday after getting back from the Keys. Welcome home.





Have the nephews coming down to chop it up and repair the fence later this week. Better them than me.

Registered for the 5K and DD for the 5K and Marathon. They are selling out fast so if you are interested, you may want to jump on registering.

Coming back to reality sucks!

Yeah, I understand that. Can't wait until June.

I cheer for no other Montreal teams but I was a fan of the Expos. You must have went to a game when Loria was the owner. In the end he killed that team but he's CJ's problem now.

Don't I have enough stuff going on right now? Actually, he is not my problem, I just don't give him any of my money (well, other than my tax dollars going to support the ballpark). I am going to DC at the end of the month and a buddy will be joining myself and the kid to watch the Nationals play. Looking forward to seeing their ballpark.

Sounds fun, the 89 sounds better. Once I shot a legit 88 but I was half in the bag from a wine tasting.

Have fun commando-ing. I hear they are filming commercials with the dwarfs on the mine ride. Hope you get lucky and they have a soft opening while you are there.

Use the bright pink ones!

BWahaha!

Ouch Glad to hear you have some help for that.

Alcohol does typically enhance the experience one way or another.

Kind of looks like Norm was trying to make some room for his camper/tent/hillbilly villa

Hey Everyone! As usual, I'm a few days behind again. Crazy busy at home and in the office.

Booked my October trip a few minutes ago. CR from 10/3-10/8(DD birthday) in a park view room! Looks like fireworks every night from the balcony for us. Spoke with a manager and I can update the ressie with 30% off BB when we are there in August. Last time DD can be pulled from school to go so we plan to do it right. Only thing left to book is MNSSHP party tickets and make ADR's, probably only 1 or 2 meals (the rest we will do CS).

Now to try to go back and see how everyone is doing. Congrats where deserved, prayers where needed and best wishes to everyone.

Oh, and Brent.....There's still room at the Inn if you want to meet us there. Let DW know I said it was OK.

 

[mm1971]

Oh, I forgot to mention. Went to the Red Sox game yesterday. What a great day in Boston with the game and marathon. Safest place on the planet! 70 degrees and sunny.

The only bad part is that Randall's Orioles managed to hang on and win 7-6. Stupid Orioles. I guess no one gave them the memo that is was a celebration day for Boston and they were supposed to lose graciously.

This just in..........Clay Buckholtz needs to figure out why he can't pitch anymore.

80? That's nothing. I break 80 every time I play. Most of the time I even break 100!

The way things have been going for you lately, would you expect anything different?

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

So nice to be getting real spring/warm weather now. Too bad this @%#^& head cold prevents me from enjoying it.

Will be paying for these 5 days off. Stopped by the store to grab my phone, and noticed there is far more empty space in the beer section then beer.

Oh, and Brent.....There's still room at the Inn if you want to meet us there. Let DW know I said it was OK.

I wonder if she'd notice I was missing

Sucks to have that fallen tree, but then again, just from those pics, my first thought was: "What an awesome looking fence/backyard area"

 

[mm1971]

It does stink that it doesn't come with express pass, but I understand why it doesn't, we booked it based on theme alone, I added express pass to the park tickets, love express pass esp. since it's basically a 2 1/2 day trip and the first Halloween Horror Nights is that Friday, also debating on buying tickets for that, love HHN almost as much as MNSSHP.

Why do they not give you the express pass? Isn't it a US resort? I'll have to go do some research. I would enjoy HHN, but the rest of the family is chicken.

Good to know. I never have done any ice fishing. Part of me would like to try a new experience, but I really don't want to get that cold.

That's what the alcohol is for silly.

I'm sure you really enjoyed all those championships from 1910 - 1979.

The whole 2 they won after that must have been a blast though.

You're living large on that 1 cup the Bruins have on since 1972.

I cheer for no other Montreal teams but I was a fan of the Expos. You must have went to a game when Loria was the owner. In the end he killed that team but he's CJ's problem now.

After listening to both side and giving it a lot of thought........Paul is right.

Sounds like a great day! Tow friends and I (with or DS's) had cheeseburgers for breakfast at Remy's in Boston(the burger had an egg on it so it qualifies as breakfast). Then wandered over to Yawkee Way, caught the baseball game from 5 rows back directly behind the plate, walked down to watch the runners go through Kenmore( 1K from finish line). After that we had a nice dinner on the water at the Charthouse and then headed home. A pretty good day here as well.

Less then 48hrs till WDW, Yeah Baby

Good luck....We're all counting on you. And leave some for the rest of us.

Morning guys.

David!

Morning everyone

Hey Brent! Has it stopped snowing up there.

 

[theduck619]

David!

Jim!!

I hate those stupid Orioles too

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

Hey Brent! Has it stopped snowing up there.

Hilarious coming from someone who technically lives north of us

No snow left, aside from a few stubborn patches in shaded areas...spring has finally sprung

I'm sure you gave it a lot of thought.

I'd like to thank Makers Mark with a drink of Makers Mark.

The front yard would have been better. Hillbilly villa.

My plan was to do Kona on Monday and then watch Wishes from TOTWL at BLT. You all are welcome to join us.

That's what the alcohol is for silly.
:

Of course alcohol keeps you warm.

Mini putt?

I really can only compete at games that involve little athletic ability anymore. So, I have a great chance at mini putt now. Read the slope of the green? No. Bank it four times off the divider.

Before you move down here Norm, you need to know these rules.

I avoid wearing socks now.
I don't have an umbrella. I have a nice rain jacket (Lands End).
We got all sorts of critters up here. I'm good.
I'll survive with the weather change.
Ike tore the roof off my house.
I grilled pork chops outdoors during a tornado.
Check on snowbirds.
I like alligators and want to wrestle them like on Gator Boys.
I wear crocs to work now. Do I have to change that practice?

Need to do:
Parking under trees in KY gets a lot of bird poop on the vehicle.
Yeehaw junction?
Publix stinks. We shop there on vacation and it stinks.
Hurricane party - only for the DisDads.
I'll get a drawer full of speedos and wear them to empty the toilet in the sewer in front of your house.

Am I ready?

Awesome post! I laughed so much, not fully for Disney reasons but Mainly because I miss living in FL, have been researching a move, jobs apartments for now and so on. And the woman I'm in love with lives there, she's been my best friend since I was 16. So hoping to make that happen in the near future.

 

[AirGoofy]

Yes, yes you are!

If I ever get in Golden Oak (legally, not trespessing) you and the expanded bunch are still up for the first visit.

You know, if you move to Florida, I have another place to park my camper, i.e., the hillbilly villa. Good luck in re-uniting with your woman, even if it is only for 15 minutes.
