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.
Top O the Mornin Dads! Thoughts and prayers are with all in the path of Irma including everyone's here happy place. Showing this storm coming up my way way with 45-65 mph winds and lots of rain. Nothing compared to what the folks in FLA are gonna go through but just shows the size and scale of this one. Have a good weekend guys, enjoy some football and family and be safe to all that this thing will affect.
Afternoon guys, all hunkered down. Some things on the to do list for today and a couple of tightening the bolts for tomorrow. Received lots of offers to bunk out with people from up and down the east coast. Appreciate it but I should be OK depending on where the thing moves ashore, Tonight it might make the turn to take it away from the coast. Really beat so I'll probably take a nap.Updates later if possible.
At least the Chiefs gave you something to enjoy last night. Stay safe friend.
 
All right chaps. That's it. I'm callin' it. Work week over. Everyone out. I feel like Whiskey Sours tonight. Or maybe Margaritas. Either way, it's girly cocktail time.

Last one in the bar has to take Belle home. And let me tell ya, She wants so much more than you've got planned. And my oh my, can she handle that beast.

CJ and the Georgia guys stay safe. London out.

Stay safe CJ. Keep my camper hookups safe as well. :sad2:

Look after yourself mate. All the best from over here. Put on a "Monty Python Marathon" and slug it out.

I would go to Castle Anthrax to escape the hurricane. Then again, I would go to Castle Anthrax whenever possible.

'Morning all...
Last early work day (for this month at least)
Maybe I'll even get out of here on time.

Doubt it, but still...


I see that. Not good...
It has slowed to a Cat-4 so there is an infinitesimally small bit of positive news (assuming it continues to slow rather than the opposite).
Current track is certainly unhelpful for the Bahamas and Florida.
But for me, holding that line will put it heading toward Atlanta and likely missing the Carolina altogether
(meaning: a lot of my neighbors will be looking to return mass quantities water and bread)

And there is one path that has it making it to KY. We will need to start hurricane proofing our houses here as well. :scared1:

My sister (who remember had driven my mom back to FL on Monday) came through yesterday going back to MI. Took her a little over 12 hours for what is normally a 7 to 7 1/2 hour drive.

My mom, brother, SIL, nieces, etc. may be coming up now because the current track shows it coming up the center of the state (not looking good for Disney either).

Hopefully, by the time it hits Atlanta, it will be just heavy rain and winds. We're not at all close to being in a flood area, so other than making sure I have nothing outside that can turn into a projectile, should be good. The mountains north of us should do a good job knocking down a bunch of the outer bands of wind and rain also. We could use another cold front coming in to cool it down also. ;)

Ironically, if they do come up, I will need to stock up on milk and bread not because of the storm, but simply increasing the volume in my house times 3 or 4. :rotfl2:

Never worry about your outdoor projectiles. Always worry about your neighbors. Hope you can survive the storm with the inlaws and French toast.
 
Happy Friday. Skipped the gym.to pick up some groceries this morning. I'm stocked up with enough French toast. Oldest going to HS football game tonight with a friend and youngest going to sleepover at friend's house. We get a few hours of peace.

Watch out for Irma. And you're right, the Dolphins now have a better record than the Patriots.

I'll go with girly margaritas, because they usually come with girls. :lmao:
As for Belle, be our guest....

I'll try the whiskey sours - cheers! Gonna be a bit late getting out of here though - have a great weekend.
Tie a napkin round your neck, cherie, and we'll provide the rest.
And it's all in perfect taste that you can bet

I'm ok with that. I've been known to drink a girly cocktail from time to time.

Dang a lot of you guys may get hit by this one. Hope you all do okay. It seems like it will drift to the west as it travels north and not east so this one shouldn't affect my neck of the woods. Seems like a lot of storm activity this year though. I expect one will drift our way eventually.

youngest going to sleepover at friend's house. We get a few hours of peace.
I have the opposite here. Youngest is hosting a sleepover. Only one friend but still a late night and a mess to tidy up after.

Tie a napkin round your neck, cherie, and we'll provide the rest.
If the night with Belle requires a napkin round the neck, you may be doing it wrong. Then again...
 
Morning boys from a relatively dark London, as its about 5:30 over here. In the habit of waking up and my mind starts going about work. Hey ho, 2 more weeks to go. My brother (he's actually my cousin but we grew up together) is supposed to be flying to Antigua this afternoon, so not sure that will happen as Jose, although not as bad as Irma, seems to have some bite to it as well. That weather radar with both of them on is crazy scary. Looks like the weather's just starting to turn up in Miami beach, All the very best to all in the region of that thing and stay safe.

Morning Guys,

Hope you guys in the path are all safe and ready. Just looking at the Port of Miami webcam and it looks like the wind has picked up a bit. I don't know what will happen to all those boats at the marina by the Hard Rock if it gets really bad. Cj, hope you are all bunkered in.




I'm ok with that. I've been known to drink a girly cocktail from time to time.

This may be worth a few demerits on your man card.
 
CJ hope you and the mutt are settled in. Prayers for safety.

Beverly you Irma, Beverly you to Peanut Butter!!! >:( I could have woken up in Disney this morning! :( You guys in Irma's path, please be safe!

Sorry you missed a trip Randall. Look at it as a chance to reschedule and fit in some DisDad meet ups.

Hah! I can drink all of those girly drinks I want.
I lost my man card ages ago.

Sucks. Reschedule for November, when I'm there.
 
Morning all. Played tennis (singles) this morning and mangled to win. Not a tournament, but against a 30 year old. I'm hurting now though. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself. Home and showered in time to watch Stoke City vs Manchester United at 28 min at 0-0. Man U seems to be loaded with the talent. Church picnic this afternoon is our biggest fundraiser, so I have to go limp around, spend money, and take photos for the website. You all have a great day.

Hmmmm.......

Sadly, our homes aren't built to hurricane proof. Ike ripped my shingles off the last time, but insurance paid for it after a lot of negotiation for full replacement. I still had to pay the deductible.

Sorry you had the sleepover. At least is was only one other.

I'm usually up around 6:00 AM. But, I have to drive oldest to morning swim practice, some of which start before 6:00 Am.

You should have had Zerf swing by and pick you up. That's a lot of driving in one day.
 
Lost power for about an hour and it just came back. Now back to football.

Hopefully the bag of wind keeps going west. Predictions right now are Cat. 1 or 2 here because it is so big but the west coast is going to get hit hard. Feel bad for them.

It's also been downgraded to a 3 now. Still not great, but... better than a 5!

Been watching some Facebook Live stuff from Miami and the Keys, looks like the wind and surf is starting to pick up.

Glad to hear you are ok.
