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.
Afternoon all from ol' London Town. Distnctly poorer this morning, a couple of fence panels blew out last night, and the Lady K took the opportunity to replace them with "something nice". Time to shave my legs and go back on the game.

Cheers Cj, 3000!
Can't believe he's not been with us for almost 2 years.
As the great Ferris Bueller said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you may miss it."
Be vewwy vewwy qwiut...he's hunting boats.
Ah-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh (Couldn't think how to spell his laugh)
Mommy? Why won't people give daddy a job so we can play again?" Broke my heart.
Ouch, mate that's tough. All the best. Hopefully something will come up soon.


We have a whole Pork Belly from the butcher which I got for a score, if I bring him back some. So I'm cubing it up and smoking it over apple and then slow cooking to make Belly Ends. Dinner's at 4 tomorrow, everyone's welcome. Someone bring potato salad.

Have a lovely Saturday fellas, may your snacks be plentiful and your beer be smooth.

Definitely not. :barf: Tried it a few times. Thought it was disgusting every time. You can have my share.

Deal. More tequila for me.

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.

That's tough. I've worked out of town and missed the occasional event, disappointing my girls. That was always the worst. I know I can't time travel, but hope that my sacrifices set them up for success.

:sad1: Hope the Pirate Princess Crash is doing well with her life. Not much family other than CJ if I remember properly.

Hopefully my DD won't be Crash as well, but she stress me more than when I taught my son. Only her second day on the road and she said, "driving is stressful". I told her "life is and it doesn't get easier. Maybe don't be in such a hurry to be an adult."
 
Morning Gents.

Had a nice outing last night with people other than family. First time in months we had dinner with friends, some nice BBQ, few drinks and sitting around the fire chatting. Good times!

Planning for a relaxing day today, except for the run part I will get in later. Have a good one all.

I follow her on Instagram and she seems to be doing well. SHe still posting some pretty cool shark pictures and videos.


Is that regarding the reference to the pork or my legs? Either way, cheers bud.

Yes.
 
Morning guys

I finally got my butt off the couch yesterday and went for a hike on the east coast trail, only about 20 minutes drive from my house. It’s something I should be doing more often. I managed about 6km in a couple hours. It was a nice sunny day here, if a bit windy, but hiking along the coast of the North Atlantic it’s rarely not windy. I was 0 for 2 on finding whales or icebergs, but it was great to get out.
Hopefully these pictures turn out right, but if not just turn your heads or something.
A few notes:
1. It’s no wonder they call this place The Rock - not a sandy beach in sight.
2. Most of the trail was flat but some had decent hills. I literally walked up that waterfall.
3. Just to the North of that point of land behind me is Cape Spear, the most easterly point of land in North America. Nothing between me and Dan but water (well, and Wales)
4. I clearly have not had my COVID haircut yet.

Evening all. A good day at work and then tennis tonight. Played well enough.

And you're hanging upside down in that last one. That's a terrific trick. Great pictures.
 
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.

Clear the roads and watch out!!
BTW they do not become adult or responsible when they start driving. It actually regresses about 3 years.
My oldest just turned 20 and still hasn't caught up with being more responsible with a license than without.
 
So officially made it thru a full week of Keto. Had some great dinners but really noticed how many carbs I eat in my lunches and snacks. Still trying to get used to feeling different, can't bounce back after a hard day work, was able put in 6-8hrs out in the heat take an hour or so break for some food and nap then be good to go for the rest of the day. But I'm struggling to get thru a full day if I'm pushing and working hard, and there is no chance to recover before the next day.
On the good side I'm down almost 15lbs the first week. But man I miss beer.
 
Morning fellas from a sunny and fine London. Retail is back open today in the UK after 12 weeks of shutdown, be interesting to see numbers later today.

Happy Birthday, E-Ticket! @scott2997 . Doing anything nice?

Hopefully Mikey's brisket was as tasty as my Meat Candy Belly Ends yesterday. Had a few too many yesterday on the drinkies front, started off with Margaritas, then Beer, then wine, then Bourbon, then Limoncello. Was a little bit delicate this morning.

Hopefully these pictures turn out right, but if not just turn your heads or something.
Very pretty. And the nature photos are not bad either.

That was you waving? You can sneak under Wales from where you are, and come through Cornwall. That's a much better route. And we won't make you get intimate with sheep.
First time in months we had dinner with friends, some nice BBQ, few drinks and sitting around the fire chatting. Good times!
That's nice, we are allowed now 6 at a time outside, so we have a few slow cooks slotted in. It's good to finally start catching up with people.
Watching some Bundesliga this morning
I watched some over the weekend, I still can't get on with it, it looks like we are watching a training match. The Dortmund coach injuring himself celebrating was pretty amusing. Prem starts this week, West Ham I think will be relegated. There. I said it.

Have a good day chaps.

That is interesting...not my experience. I wonder if you're feeling keto flu.

Keep to it...your body is an amazing creation and will adapt.
 
Morning all.
Was away camping with the youngest DD for a few days.
I will not be going back over the last 5 pages. Did I miss anything I should know about?

Did see this:

Nice shots, Jeff. You even visited Australia! Impressive.
 
Cheers Cj, 3000!

Still greatly missed.

I'm sorry I missed this, for sure. Sounds tasty.

Nice photos! Looks like a beautiful spot.

Pretty sure the winning lottery numbers were posted, but it's probably too late to use them now. Oh well.

Thanks Dan!

Just spending all day at work with people that I'd rather not be around! It's going to be amazing!!!!

Oh and meeting with a roofing contractor to fix my roof! How's that for fun times??!?

Having a birthday on a Monday, that's tough Scott. Hopefully this will help


Happy birthday my Friend!

Thanks Darcy!

Ahhhhhhhh! Thanks Randall!
