I really don't think I'm alone on this, or did I drink too much of the kool-aid.

Did the "kool aid" come in a 6 pack and have an ABV over 5%?

 

[londontime]

Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my chin.

I may have smoked up a 11 pound brisket and a 9 pound Shoulder knowing full well that was way too much meat. Come on over. I'll fix you up a plate.

Sure! Um... can I just drive over? There's a bridge, right?

 

[londontime]

Yeah, just carry on straight past Jeff’s house. Pass Greenland on the left and you can’t miss us. It’s the one with the red door.

Got it! See you in a bit.

Happy Sunday. Went to my cousin's graduation today and food afterwards. It was a nice day.

Not seeing it.

Drink some more rum. :

Morning, gents. Long day ahead, working a double. Then again, weekends are slow compared to weekdays, so not too bad.

Put in 6 hours today as well. Not too bad a day, but yes, long hours.

Sure! Um... can I just drive over? There's a bridge, right?

Happy Victoria Day All!!


For some reason we celebrate this long dead queen of England on this day every May. Not complaining though as we get the day off.

[pkondz]

PEI?

Interesting guess!
Think.... more obvious.

Interesting guess!

Alberta?

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Let's see, here...
Had to have the steering system rebuilt in one of the cars.
Had to have the back fence rebuilt after it collapsed.
Had to replace the entire A/C system.

Ya' know, I'm knid'a hoping that this week will be somewhat boring and rather uneventful.

Happy Victoria Day All!!

Any day off has a marked chance of being a better day then usual
Hope everyone up that way enjoys the time (well those that are actually out of work that is).

Interesting guess!
Think.... more obvious.

Obvious to whom?
Certainly not us Yanks.

Although I notice that the list exclude the rest of the Commonwealth, do they not celebrate the day?

 

[AirGoofy]

Ugh. Another Monday. The good news is that tomorrow starts the single digit countdown to WDW. Even if I can't crush the theme parks, at least I'll be in WDW.

Paid days off are always good.

That's why Victoria & Albert's is so expensive at WDW. They are paying royalties on that trademarked name.

Dude.... your wallet needs a rest!

Nope. I'm at work. Hope everyone else is enjoying it!

Well... it might be. Depends on how you are with geography I guess.

Although I notice that the list exclude the rest of the Commonwealth, do they not celebrate the day?

Oh, there's a whole list here, but I only listed the ones in Canada.

I was going to insert the dancing man emoji, but then thought that was a bit inappropriate. How is your knee mate? Enjoy the countdown.

Ooo, that's making me wince just a little bit. None of that sounds fun.

We don't celebrate it, and she only lived up the road. Probably because one of her boys ripped up the East End for a while.

Nope

Then I got bupkis.

Good weekend with friends and family. Got friends kids HS graduation driving get togethers, DD and SIL in town and some great friends from back in the day visiting the area that we have not seen in 12 years - my buddy and I have been friends since 6th grade. Gonna get together with out of town friends tonight while the kids attend a HS graduation ceremony then hang with the kids tomorrow night before they head back to D.C. Then me and DW head up to Chicago Thursday for a couple of Cubs games as part of year long fun to celebrate 25th anniversary. So if the day job doesn't get completely off the rails over the next three days we should have a great week.

Wow, that's a bit much to hit all at once. Here's to a low key, calm, non-eventful week for you.

Ugh. Another Monday. The good news is that tomorrow starts the single digit countdown to WDW. Even if I can't crush the theme parks, at least I'll be in WDW.

Enjoy the countdown and sounding like the knee is still an issue? What the doc every identify relative to a sprain or a tear?

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Ugh. Another Monday. The good news is that tomorrow starts the single digit countdown to WDW. Even if I can't crush the theme parks, at least I'll be in WDW.

Well now that even makes me feel better about it being a Monday.
Can't say as we're headed to WDW anytime soon, but we are in the single digits for a trip down to the shore for a few so I've got that going for me (which is nice).

That's why Victoria & Albert's is so expensive at WDW. They are paying royalties on that trademarked name.

Nice...
They must be paying similar royalties to California as well.

Dude.... your wallet needs a rest!

Ooo, that's making me wince just a little bit. None of that sounds fun.

Painful? Yes, but we'll figure it out (seeing as we don't have any other option but to do so).

Oh, did I mention that I also found out recently that I need to shell out for one more semester of university tuition? (and that will need to include housing and that you can't rent anything for less than a year?)

Well... it might be. Depends on how you are with geography I guess.

Actually, I'm better than most in terms of geography, but I'll confess that I'm not as keen on all the features north of the boarder as I could be.

Probably because one of her boys ripped up the East End for a while.

so to speak...

That sounds like a whole lot of good.
Here's to keeping everything on the rails.

Wow, that's a bit much to hit all at once. Here's to a low key, calm, non-eventful week for you.

Low key is the objective.
(and having part of the next week off won't hurt none either.)

 

[pkondz]

Oh, did I mention that I also found out recently that I need to shell out for one more semester of university tuition? (and that will need to include housing and that you can't rent anything for less than a year?)

So what is that... about five, ten bucks?

No?

Actually, I'm better than most in terms of geography, but I'll confess that I'm not as keen on all the features north of the boarder as I could be.

No worries. It's not like I'm an expert on foreign countries, myself.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

So what is that... about five, ten bucks?

No?

Exactly...
(just so long as we're all in agreement on how many zeros are being implied by the word "buck" in this instance.)
