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

Dads of the DIS talk about life, bacon, Disney, bacon, kids, bacon, cars, bacon, family life, and lots of other fun stuff! And beer. And bacon.

Tennis again today. Four days in a row and still walking.

WDW Pick 'ems for today................. (running low on ideas for pick 'ems and top 5's)
  1. Poutine from refreshment port and beer at Rose & Crown or Chips and Salsa with Margarita at La Cava del Tequila
  2. Soarin or FOP?
  3. Frozen Sing Along or FOTLK
  4. Wilderness Lodge or AKL?
  5. Christmas or Halloween at DaWorld?

Tequila.
FOP. Soarin refurb stinks with bended buildings.
FOTLK
Wilderness Lodge - boat ride
Never been to MVMCP. 2021 is the plan.

Observation of the day...
The actual size of your yard is directly dependent on who mows their grass

Cut the grass after tennis today too. How's work going?

:eek:
Don't think I'll be getting that any time soon.

I had lego as a kid. Got rid of them.
I bought lego for my kids. Got rid of them.
They are still fun to say with, even better Disney themed.
 
Morning.

Yep. That's 'bout it.
Works for me...


Cut the grass after tennis today too. How's work going?
Still employed and still working form home. So far that works well. They leave me alone and I get the work done that they need.

What a concept.

Bonus, they should have returned everyone back to their original salaries. I'll check the accounts today to see if that's actually so.

DD got her permit today. Not looking forward to the teaching, but it is good to see her progressing to being an adult. Then, if I survive so long, maybe I can let someone else be responsible for a change.
May that go as well as possible.
And may the mistake that she actually learns from be minor indeed

As for responsibility...
It's highly overrated.
(but, granted, a necessary evil).

Never had an Old Fashion. Will have to add that to my bucket list.
And a toast to CJ.
Hear, Hear!
 
Warning: gross content below.

Had a lovely 5am wake up call from the cat.
Heard her meowing and howling downstairs, followed by sounds of her running like a banshee through the living room.
Came downstairs to discover she had diarrhea and apparently did not like what it had done to her nether regions, so proceeded to scatter her backside all over the house.
The living room looked like she was trying to redesign the track layout for Big Thunder Mountain.

Is it Friday yet?

Oh good, it is.

Is 10:00am too early to start drinking?
 
In better news, had that meeting about potential work yesterday.
I should get at least a week around the end of June.
Bank account will be a little happier, better than nothing at least.
Part of me was enjoying the extended time off though.

Never had an Old Fashion. Will have to add that to my bucket list.
Me neither.
Always meant to have one. At least in CJ’s memory if nothing else.

WDW Pick 'ems for today................. (running low on ideas for pick 'ems and top 5's)
  1. Poutine from refreshment port and beer at Rose & Crown or Chips and Salsa with Margarita at La Cava del Tequila
  2. Soarin or FOP?
  3. Frozen Sing Along or FOTLK
  4. Wilderness Lodge or AKL?
  5. Christmas or Halloween at DaWorld?
1. Poutine and beer
2. FOP, especially since the warped “upgrade”
3. FOTLK
4. Wilderness Lodge - although never been to either, but WL is at the top of my wish list
5. Christmas because I’ve never seen it. Been for Halloween a few times
 
Morning all. It is another beautiful day here.

DD got her permit today. Not looking forward to the teaching, but it is good to see her progressing to being an adult. Then, if I survive so long, maybe I can let someone else be responsible for a change.

Congratulations to her. Part of the job of being a dad is to get them ready for life. I see it as a success when our children are ready to leave and make it on their own.

Happy Friday! So, on this voyage of life, does anyone know what the drink of the day is?

Tequila.

You might be placed on double secret probation for that.

That is some good news. Funny how when our employer needs us, then all those cost saving a$$hat plans go out the window.

Sorry to hear about the cat. Good news about work. And if you're a pirate, you can drink anytime

Happy Friday! So, on this voyage of life, does anyone know what the drink of the day is?
I will raise an old fashioned later this afternoon / early evening. Had a couple last night as a matter of fact. As an old fashioned is on the sweet side and alternative might be a Manhattan.
In better news, had that meeting about potential work yesterday.
I should get at least a week around the end of June.
Bank account will be a little happier, better than nothing at least.

Good to hear about the positive bank account update
 
Hey, Gents! Doing a quick check in, I'll try and respond to some of the posts where I was quoted as I get time. Been kind of slow this week, so I've taken the opportunity to look for work when I've had nothing to do, with full permission from my stockroom lead. I know, that's pretty cool, right?! There's been times when he's said, "Look, I've got nothing for you to do, so why don't you look for work." I'm of the belief that I won't have a job at the end of the month, so I've racheted up the job hunting. My DD comes up to me last night wanting to play and I had to turn her down because I was looking for work. She then went to my DW and said, "Mommy? Why won't people give daddy a job so we can play again?" Broke my heart. Well, gotta run, gents. Have a good day.

TTFN

1. Yes please! Actually, the pineapple upside down cake with dole whip is my favorite, but any way to get a dole whip is a good way.
2. IG. Two words - security line
3. horse back riding
4. Tough one. My favorite part about speedway is it's one of the few originals left. On the other hand, the fumes stink (literally). Electric would be good. As for CoP, part of its charm for me is laughing at how outdated it is, so updating...hmmm.
5. Depends on if I'm in MK or HS. :lmao: Wow, another tough one. CBJ is classic. VotLM has better graphics/effects. Seats are nicer in VotLM, so I guess that's the tie breaker. And Ariel is better looking too (for @pkondz )
