Happy Tuesday guys.....I'm hoping today is going to be a better day than yesterday.

I was stuck at work a couple hours longer than I should've been only to come home to a cold dinner, my grill with no propane, and my keg empty. :scared1: :headache:

I hope you won't take away my man card. :rotfl:

What, huh, what.... you had a man card???
 

Just read though 15 pages… lots of good stuff in there. Too bad I'm now too tired to remember it and comment on it all.

We have been staying with Melody's dad in Ocean City, Maryland for the last week. I get to drive home tomorrow then head to work. Why I agreed to work the same day I have to drive 6 hours home is beyond me, but I gotta pay for this trip somehow.

Hope you all are enjoying the last few weeks of summer. :drinking1
 
Not in a creepy way, right? :rolleyes1


No!

Safe travels back, Tim!

Good morning guys!
 
Morning....

Taking the girls to the Canadian National Exhibition today, despite the calls of showers and Tstorms. Still should make for a good day I think, weather might keep the crowds away, and should meet up with my brother and niece later on.

Only real obstacle I think I'll face is this was one f those things I strongly associate with Dad. He took us every year growing up, and in the later years I went with him whenever he felt like attending, a lot of good memories, but still there will be a feeling of emptiness. (The original plan had us all going this year, I missed last year for the Disney Trip). Sadness/depression aside, I still plan to hit his favourites in his honour. Crown and Anchor, The Armed Forces set up, Ice Cream-Waffle Sandwiches and Back Bacon on a bun (Canadian Bacon sandwiches). Cant avoid things, must tackle head on.

Hope you all have a good one..

Morning Men.

Half day in the office and then DS and I are off to the U20 Women's World Cup semi-final. Should have great seats for an entertaining match between Nigeria and North Korea.

Hope you all have a good one.

I hope you all have a great day Brent!
 
‘Morning all…
As work days go this Wednesday seems no better than the last ten Mondays.
I need me some Disney.

Of course I also need me some extra money to finance that Disney…
Which means I need to go do some work…
Which puts me right back where I started…


A vicious circle there, ani’t it?


Morning men! Just checking in to say "Hey CJ, I'm going to Disney World!".:lmao::lmao: Hoping to get out of here by 2PM to get everything finished up and ready to go. Excitement has set in and it's REALLY hard to get anything done today.

Hope you got enough of it done to make do.
Hope more that y’all have a great time on the trip.

Too tired…
yah that’s the reason; not something like: “it was mindless drivel”, or anything like that.
We’ll go with: “too tired”.

Take care on the drive home and hope y’all had a great little trip.

Memories are both a comfort and a bit of a cloud depending on when and how they strike us.
But their appearances are far better in our lives then for us to be empty and desolate.

Enjoy the trip. Revel in the parts that are your traditions. Laugh with your girls. Drink a toast and take a moment or two to even be a bit misty-eyed over great old memories. Then go and laugh with your children again. Enjoy the trip sir. Enjoy it with all your might.

Half day for me and I'll be starting the long arduous trek to Florida. Advantage - you.
 
Good morning gentlemen.

I've been following along on my phone which makes replying difficult. I love all the kid stories.

Jim, have fun storming the castle.

The kids are keeping me super busy. Two weeks before school starts.

Randall, look up melted onions on YouTube. There should be a recipe and video on there by the Weber cookbook author.
 
Good morning guys! First kickball game of the season is in the books. The girls had fun. Our coach had words with the other coach for running up the score and their excessive chanting. I didn't mind the chanting, and my only concern about the score was what we need to do to not let that happen again. The coach didn't tell the girls the final score, but it was ugly :(.

Heading to KC for Labor Day and I'm hoping to meet up with Aaron. Any other dads in the KC/Platte City area?

As a little league coach the last few years, I have been on the receiving end of many a butt-whupping, so I feel your pain. But how does one run up the score in kickball?
 
I'll trade you; I would much rather be heading to Florida.

Being in Florida = awesome. Getting to Florida = not so awesome. Getting to Florida > being at work.:thumbsup2

Normally I don't mind the drive because it's 12 hrs to WDW and I can do that in a day. But I'm leaving after lunch and will need to stop at a hotel somewhere tonight and continue an extra 2-3 hrs past Disney to visit my mom. All in all, 15 hrs of driving. Then on Saturday morning drive 2 or 3 hrs back up to Orlando. But on the upside, I got to spend $800 getting the van in shape!:sad1:
 
Top O the Mornin Dads! If I missed any, safe travels and enjoy the trips. Everyone have a good mid point of the work week.

Well said Rob & I second your well wishes and thoughts :thumbsup2 Again, enjoy the heck out of your day Brent!

Enjoy the trip with DD Chris and remember Bears season is upon us and our Blackhawks are not too far away.
