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.
Good luck, we're all counting on you.

Wimpledon can't be far behind.
(not a typo :rolleyes1)

Hope it went well! Don't get hurt before the trip.

Thanks guys. Won two more matches today and am in the finals tomorrow. First match was two easy sets (6-0, 6-2) but second match went three sets with tiebreaker 3rd set 10-8. I wisely carb-ed up yesterday with rice and bread and still just barely had enough energy to get thru today. Ibuprofen, icing some things down, and heating pad/massage other things. I am exhausted.

Before you all start buying plane tickets to Wimbledon, I'm playing in the old, fat, and injured division.

The weekend is here. Soccer went well. My youngest had about 5 goals but more importantly dribbled very well, getting around defenders and passing the ball. She plays so hard which is enough for me. The positive results are a bonus. Truly enjoyable to watch her play.

Bravo to your dd. Mine did really well in rec but she has struggled in select. She has the foot skills and understanding of the formations, but she lacks that explosive speed. I think it is a conditioning issue.
 
Good start this morning and about to pour an adult beverage.

Throw a couple of scuba tanks on the boat and I will lend you a regulator. All emergencies handled.

Well, how did it go? Did your opponent leave the court sobbing uncontrollably?
.

Thanks again for the pictures. That bathroom doesn't look great, but living on a tropical island sure would be nice. I don't know about th opponent sobbing, but I left the court limping. Maybe I need an adult beverage.

Congrats! Seriously dude, that's pretty good!

I bet. I'd be dead and buried already.

My kinda league.
Funny they don't televise those.

Well done, good luck in the finals.
 
HOLY CARP! FLORIDA 28 VOLS 27! Strange but entertaining game. I feel for Tenn. fans. Well, not so much. My weekend is made.
 
Morning Gents.

DS and DW both ran a 5K race this morning. DS was 18th overall, 5th in his class with a time of 21:04. DW was 133rd overall, 16th in her class with a time of 30:35. A PB for DW and for DS it was his first race, pretty proud of them both.

The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away. The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. Win some lose some. That is the way the cookie crumbles...

After watching a great finish yesterday with the Gators, I sit here and see the Dolphins implode. Losing 27-0 at the half? Now what is on the tube for the next couple of hours? And on Sunday for the rest of the season?

Congratulations to both Darcy. Great accomplishments. Think your son can play running back for the Dolphins?
 
In retrospect, it probably wasn't a good idea to walk a 5K before the tennis championship match. It is the annual Komen Breast Cancer and FIL paid for everything since his sister died from breast cancer and his other sister survived breast cancer.

Here was our finish time.

I ended up losing the finals match, 6-7, 7-5, 6-4 lasting 2.5 hours. Just for some perspective, I usually only play singles 1 hour, and doubles 2 hours. It was grueling. For the good news, that means I still get to play in the fat, old, and injured division next year. For the even better news, I won the DisDad Fantasy Baseball league, which brings me back to back championships.

And UK beat Missouri. The sky must be falling.

Today is the day that I make our family's tie dye shirts for our trip. I'm hoping I'm done early enough to get some yard work done and then have a camp fire this evening. Beer and s'mores make me happy. In that order.
Congrats to your youngest!

Well done to both of them. Sounds like you owe them both a good steak dinner.

UTK Alum. Glad it made you happy.

Bills suffer as well. "I feel for you. Well, not so much. My weekend is made." :rotfl2:

Congrats on the fat, old, and injured division. I wouldn't have even gotten signed up so you did far better than I would have done.

oops!

Wow. Impressive, even with the loss. Scores like that show it was very evenly divided.

Congrats on both fronts.
 
Morning gents. Been a long night. Almost over.
Anyone else catch the eclipse?

Thanks Guys.

CJ he hasn't played football in awhile but with the Dolphins, that may not be an issue.

There was no steak dinner but there was pizza at their year end soccer team party which included an hilarious hour of bubble soccer.

Well done! Sounds like quite the match.

Congrats on the fantasy league. It's a big deal if you pay attention to that sort of thing. :rotfl2:
