Tuesday night ownage.

Watch out for idiots. No tennis tonite and watching youngest dd soccer practice. A car is speeding and doing laps around the parking lot. Not anywhere near people, but closer to some cars. One of the soccer dads decides to be parking lot police, leaves the field, walks in to the parking lot, walks in front of the speeding car to slow him down. Idiot.

Came to the big city and couldn't get a parking space at the ivory tower so now I sit waiting for someone to check out my iPhone. Microphone only picks up half the time. If I didn't have to have it for work I would get rid of it.

Well, they could only have parking for you or Coach Cal. Who do you think wins that one? :lmao:

Happy Wife, Happy Life!:thumbsup2

That's what they say. I don't know.

Afternoon gentlemen

Just popping in as I take a break from my autumn chores. It was 39 when I dropped the kids off at the bus. Time to make sure we can get both cars in a three car garage again. :sad2:
.

39? You win.

That will be different….. I'm usually just drunk on a boat. :drinking: :sail:

But it's a pretty boat. pirate:

Take me with you!!!

See. If you had taken me on your trip, Tim would have taken you on his trip. :stir:
 
...Not sure to be thankful or not. DW tells me that oldest dd (12) complains to her that she is not as developed there as the other girls in her class. I guess that's good she is not getting that attention, but bad that DW wants to talk to me about that stuff. . ..

When ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be wise. I have told DD that she can date when I am dead or senile.

Happy Wife, Happy Life!:thumbsup2

Not necessarily though the opposite is definitely true.

...On a different note.... I'M BACK!!!!!! :wave2: :woohoo:...

:wave2: welcome back! May the overlords leave your connection alone now.

...Kids still don't know ✓
Leave for Florida in the A.M? ✓

Well done! Safe travels and hope you have a fantastic time.

Well, they could only have parking for you or Coach Cal. Who do you think wins that one? :lmao:
...

With the state-tagged 4x4 F-250 I make my own parking! :drive: For some reason all the contractors maintenance had me blocked out but by lunch-time there was plenty of grass to park on.
 
Besides tomorrow being my nephew's birthday and the day he can get his learner's permit, it is also the 40th anniversary of Killer Queen and Killer Queen Vodka will be released to commemorate the occasion. For those of you of a certain vintage, you can raise a glass to Freddie. I am not fond of vodka and live in a dry county so I am off the hook. I suppose I could wake up SWMBO tomorrow with a certain song on the radio about a naughty nanny. :rolleyes1:duck:
 
Just stopping by on my way to bed. We are close enough to our trip that DW is starting to mention Disney articles and various strategies. I think she has adjusted to the "back to school" phenomenon and is now back to BAU mode. So with about 1.5 months to go, we are starting to seriously review and discuss our plans. This is a glorious time. it's very much akin to Christmas Eve.

I started my TR and threw it over in the DVC Trip report forum. I'll add it to my signature after it picks up some substance. Right now it's mostly the framework for an exceptionally average TR. :lmao:

You could have just stopped there.

I now have a montage of Queen songs stuck in my head, Guess I know what Pandora station I'll put on tomorrow morning at my desk.
 
Good Morning guys! A few hours away from boarding my flight to Orlando, I'll do my best to do a TR on the dark side and Diagon Alley. We are staying at the newish value resort Cabana Bay and decided to add express pass. With ride times low I'm going to attempt every ride (that age allows) and show in 2 1/2 days. And try not to get sick on that sweet sweet ButterBeer! I hope everyone's doing well.
 
** Bad Idea of the Day ***

Day 3 of the vertical Engineering series

Not near as nutty as yesterday's example...
But I wouldn't be doin' it.
 
Happy hump day gentlemen

39? You win.
Not a contest I want to be winning.
Bags packed? ✓
Flights confirmed? ✓
Kids still don't know ✓
Leave for Florida in the A.M? ✓

I guess we are ready to go! We leave for Florida in the morning staying with DW cousin tomorrow night. We drive to Port Canaveral Thursday morning for 3 days on the Dream then checking into BLT on Sunday (to Thursday) for our first stay as DVC members.

The kids have no idea that we are going… we still don't know what we are going to tell them. The good thing is we don't have to leave the house till 7:15am so we don't have to wake them too early. I'm leaving the computer home so I'll try to post a pic or 2 from my phone.

Have a great week everyone! (everyone except for Barry)
Have fun.
 
‘Morning all…
As I was catching up on all the brilliant commentary ‘round here…
This particular “targeted advert” decided to pop up so I figured I’d share it with the rest of ya’…

I suspect that the majority of the group would approve of the decision.

Well HBD to your nephew. As for Killer Queen…
Has it really been 40 years? Lord I’m old. Don’t know about buying vodka designed specifically for the event, but I’ll certainly raise a few belts of rum to the occasion once I get home this evening.

Now as to your choice of “anniversary appropriate” alarm music, you might want to refer back to your own comments on “unhappy wives”.

I would certainly like to read about your thoughts on the current state of the Dark Side.
Like I said yesterday, have a blast storming the ally.
 
7:44 AM and work is done for the day. No emails. No meetings. So, I get to sit here enough hours until I go home. This job just steals the life away from me. And, since this is a state university, there is no chance of promotion or compensation based on ability or accomplishments.

I have Queen's greatest hits CD, but no vodka. I've wanted to try the Cabo Wabo tequila from Sammy Hagar. I don't know if I'm enough of a tequila or vodka connoisseur to tell the difference. I can tell the difference between Grey Goose vs Popov Vodka.

It wil be as exceptional as the last report.

Good morning guys!

Morning nemesis.

:thumbsup2:thumbsup2 <---not thumbs.
Don't stank up the boat too much, I'm booked on it in June.

Watch out for idiots. No tennis tonite and watching youngest dd soccer practice. A car is speeding and doing laps around the parking lot. Not anywhere near people, but closer to some cars. One of the soccer dads decides to be parking lot police, leaves the field, walks in to the parking lot, walks in front of the speeding car to slow him down. Idiot.
He must have been looking at Rob's pictures and got some life advice.
 
I've got my work done for next Monday. I need to slow down.

And Congrats to you David! I see you made 9000 about 10 post ago.

My nemesis is a wordy one. :mic:

He must have been looking at Rob's pictures and got some life advice.

I thought of that as well. He was standing in the middle of the lane with both arms out wide yelling "slow down". I thought about taking a picture, but not sure if adding those quotes into it would have accurately portrayed the level of idiocy.
