DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

[Swissdog2010]

We take a similar route out of NW New Jersey, although we drop south in Eastern PA to pick up 78 West and get on 81 east of Harrisburg. As to things to see, there are some civil war battlefields if you like that sort of thing, South of the Border, which i'm sure you're familiar with. I've always wanted to stop at the Harbor Freight warehouse, but there wouldn't be enough room in the jeep for all that. Of course, there is that adult book store in GA, but........

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

It's been snowing since this afternoon. I am so fed up with this friggin' winter. I can't get out of this place fast enough. New Jersey is not supposed to have six months of winter. I leave that to our Canadian neighbors.

Just checked. Snow pretty much gone now except for a few banks still melting. Might see some Saturday I hear but
Well gladly send it south.

 

[afwdwfan]

Afwdwfan - if you do decide to play C of C you should definitely look us up. I think that 3-4 of the disdads are already members of the clan. It's all good fun and relatively addicting to play.

well I started playing and just got to the point I can join a clan. Looks like there are several Disneyworld clans. Not sure which one you guys are in. I'm playing as disdad460

 

[brettcw23]

I took them at one point. I probably deleted them. They are good. The only trick is to watch how thick you wrap the bundles. Too much bacon will result in it not being cooked. It's more work, but I'll cut bacon in half and roll 3 or 4 beans. I've also fried the bacon a few minutes each side before rolling.

I lied. The picture link was right next tot he link to the recipe. i apparently missed that when I looked the first time. They are in my culinary queue. Might even make them for Easter for an app.

Morning Gents!

Last day in the office for a bit. Leaving Sunday for Florida, looking forward to being in a place with no snow.

 

[TXHauntedMansionFan]

well I started playing and just got to the point I can join a clan. Looks like there are several Disneyworld clans. Not sure which one you guys are in. I'm playing as disdad460

Look for the "Disneyworld" clan where the description starts with "Fans of Disneyworld unite". It should show that we've won 26 wars and that Sir Brazenbull and wlong are our co-leaders.

I'd look you up for an invite but I don't think that you can search players out individually.

Thanks. Join request sent. I think.

If it is the same route as last time we will follow the 95 north as far as Fredericksburg and then go west until we hit the 81. Follow that north through Pennsylvania before heading east again around Scranton on the 84. We pick the 95 up again in Mass.

Well…

[Captain_Oblivious]

Yummy and Brussels Sprouts should not be used in the same sentence unless it is "I ate something yummy, unlike Brussels Sprouts."

This. Sounds like Man Law material to me.

Is there anywhere interesting to stop?

If it is the same route as last time we will follow the 95 north as far as Fredericksburg and then go west until we hit the 81. Follow that north through Pennsylvania before heading east again around Scranton on the 84. We pick the 95 up again in Mass.

Looks like you're skipping Delaware. So no, there's nowhere interesting to stop. But have fun in Florida!

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

Afternoon guys, early lunch before the you know what hits the fan, traditionally it's one of our busiest days of the year.

Waiting for the Official word, but pretty sure I didn't get any of those positions available. Not particularly upset about it.

I think this post would make a splendid addition to the links of intrest in page one. Well have to give Randall a heads up whence he returns. We are only picking up the 95 in Georgia/Florida but will keep these in mind. We are going to go on the 77 both ways this year, we just love that route.

Just a few thought...

Thanks for the list, we'll may have to check one or two of those places out.

Looks like you're skipping Delaware. So no, there's nowhere interesting to stop. But have fun in Florida!

I thought Delaware was a river one of your guys crossed?

 

[declansdad]

We take a similar route out of NW New Jersey, although we drop south in Eastern PA to pick up 78 West and get on 81 east of Harrisburg. As to things to see, there are some civil war battlefields if you like that sort of thing, South of the Border, which i'm sure you're familiar with. I've always wanted to stop at the Harbor Freight warehouse, but there wouldn't be enough room in the jeep for all that. Of course, there is that adult book store in GA, but........

Pretty hard to miss South of the Border, I think there are signs ever mile as you move north through the state.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

This. Sounds like Man Law material to me.

I'll second it.

Afternoon guys, early lunch before the you know what hits the fan, traditionally it's one of our busiest days of the year.

Waiting for the Official word, but pretty sure I didn't get any of those positions available. Not particularly upset about it.

That stinks, but the attitude is good. Keep applying.

And may the work day be something more close to normal
(oh, who am I kidding, we're coming off of Lent. There's a lot of folks that will be making up for lost time)

I think this post would make a splendid addition to the links of intrest in page one. Well have to give Randall a heads up whence he returns. We are only picking up the 95 in Georgia/Florida but will keep these in mind. We are going to go on the 77 both ways this year, we just love that route.

Thanks, I was just having fun with that one actually.

I-77 you say... Hummm...
I live only three miles east of that particular bit of roadway just after you pass the welcome station at the NC/SC boarder. I'll have to toss out some other points of "interest" along that pathway for you.

Thanks for the list, we'll may have to check one or two of those places out.

You're quite welcome.
Had I known that you were actually paying attention though I might has added one or two more spots of legitimate interest into the mix.

May have to think about that for a bit.

Pretty hard to miss South of the Border, I think there are signs ever mile as you move north through the state.

Yep... that pretty much explaines it.
It's unfortunate that nuclear device didn't land a bit to the northwest, closer to "Pedro" there.

Afternoon Dads and very Happy Easter weekend to everyone!

Morning Gents!

Last day in the office for a bit. Leaving Sunday for Florida, looking forward to being in a place with no snow.

Safe travels and enjoy the warm weather and family

Afternoon guys, early lunch before the you know what hits the fan, traditionally it's one of our busiest days of the year.

Waiting for the Official word, but pretty sure I didn't get any of those positions available. Not particularly upset about it.

I am stopping off at a beverage store myself on way home tonight to fill up jug with draft Kentucky Bourbon Ale and a bottle of Makers 46 for the weekend of entertaining. Hang in there about the new opportunity - never know.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

I thought Delaware was a river on of your guys crossed?

But it's so close to where you'd rather be!

 

[brettcw23]

Look for the "Disneyworld" clan where the description starts with "Fans of Disneyworld unite". It should show that we've won 26 wars and that Sir Brazenbull and wlong are our co-leaders.

I'd look you up for an invite but I don't think that you can search players out individually.

I just downloaded the app to my phone and will add it to my tablet. I'll jump in after I get acclimated.

Happy rainy Thursday evening. Most all outdoor sports cancelled. Still sore from tennis last night. I am off work for the next week.

Just checked. Snow pretty much gone now except for a few banks still melting. Might see some Saturday I hear but
Well gladly send it south.

Nope. Keep your snow to yourself.

I lied. The picture link was right next tot he link to the recipe. i apparently missed that when I looked the first time. They are in my culinary queue. Might even make them for Easter for an app.

Glad to know they are still there. Also, don't drown them in marinade or they won't cook as well. Let me know how they turn out if you do them.

Morning Gents!

Last day in the office for a bit. Leaving Sunday for Florida, looking forward to being in a place with no snow.

I'm off next week too. Have room for me?

You might consider some of these distractions that are fairly close to your roads of travel as you’re headed north…
...

That was a lot of work. Good info.

This. Sounds like Man Law material to me.
!

Second. Brussel sprouts stink.

Waiting for the Official word, but pretty sure I didn't get any of those positions available. Not particularly upset about it.
.

Gonna have sonny stamp the form? Been there. Now, I don't even get the meeting - just the rejection stamp.

I am stopping off at a beverage store myself on way home tonight to fill up jug with draft Kentucky Bourbon Ale and a bottle of Makers 46 for the weekend of entertaining. Hang in there about the new opportunity - never know.

Sounds good. I was thinking some Four Roses bourbon sounded good for the weekend. I still need to get to the liquor store.
