Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

HA @goNDmay9! We've filled up a few pools in my day. The first one was a... Idk it was at least 40ft long 15-16ft deep end pool. I'm pretty sure we went to sleep with 2 hoses in the pool and when we woke up it still wasn't even close to full!

MY a parents and their over compensating. Tiny people and giant pools.

Frustrating weekend indeed. Ended up cleaning a rental house and that's not normally in my wheel of jobs. I was supposed to be doing kitchen inventories. Only got 7 of 18. Today we did have lunch at one of our favorite places called killer seafood. Hush puppies are delicious. Also love their tarter sauce on fries mmmm. Got to clean up trash from where a bear tried to break into the bins. Lordy Lordy.

Think I'll watch an episode of something and call it a night. Early morning to make it back to GA in time to help with dance pictures.

how long of a drive is it for you to get back to GA?

weather hot where you are now?
it's been nice in the 80's here.

been trying to find a car rental and hotel for early june for wisconsin.

bought the air earlier and now the hard stuff of which car place rental to use.
they all cost an arm and a leg.
since i haven't stayed at any hotels when i lived up north, no idea of which ones are dumps.

i'm flying and mr mac is driving.
my days are over for 14 hour drives when i can make it north in 2 hours.
even with the down time of getting to ATL, and going early for the sw cattle call, still saves me a heck of lot of time.

 

[Lynne G]

Not sure which rental either. Guess stick with Alamo or another name brand. Sorry, have only been in a car when in Wisconsin. The Dells is mostly what I remember. Was a teen.

Oh TinyD. Yes, family and business are sometimes not a very good cocktail. Hope you made it home safely, and enjoyed relaxing some. Bears. Oh my!

So, today is Monday, and it certainly feels like it:

Just a funny, because we may climb close to 80 today, and a beautiful golden sunrise today.

 

[macraven]

You can tell it is a Monday here......

Morning Mac having my first cup of coffee.

 

[Robo56]

Looks like Universal is going to be busy during the time I take grandchildern in May. They are so excited about our upcoming trip. I noticed last year for the first time that it was a lot busier than years before at the time we go. Looks like the resorts are pretty filled up.

 

[macraven]

Me too


I forgot, what are your dates with the Gkids in May?

 

[Lynne G]

oooh than time with the grandkids is coming up fast Robo. Yeah, dates?

Hi Mac! Hope you are enjoying a cup of coffee like Robo.

Had a heck of time getting up today. That's what a week-end will do to ya. Nice drive up into the mountains yesterday. Was a great day for a soccer game in the middle of nowhere. There's been more scenic fields than the one we were at, but this one was on a dirt and gravel road, that the kids got a kick out of, because it was so full of holes. We felt like we were on a ride.

Still patiently waiting for fall party prices. I keep checking for APH for October, with no luck yet. And would you know, darn motherland free dining ends the day before I arrive. Oh well, I will save money eating where and what I want, plus with a car, I can go off site. Also, where I am staying is not on the free dining list. I like where I am staying. How's all's fall plans coming along?

Time for lunch soon I hope, I seem to be starving. Will be looking for food shortly. Enjoy your day everyone!

On a good day it takes me a little under three to get from parents house to mine. On a bad day upwards of 3:30.

Pretty hot and muggy. It got above 80 this weekend and full humidity. Back to the season of "why did I straighten my hair?!"

 

[macraven]

TinyD, that is not a bad drive time.
well, for me anyway....

they pulled the 90 degree prediction off our weather this week.
upper 80's but a nice breeze here.

my others in the house complain about humidity.
it doesn't faze me as i grew up in the armpits of the country/st louis area and used to humidity.

And the fridge saga continues....

 

[pcstang]

Loving the warmer weather! TinyD - do you all have a recommendation for a place to get good outdoor / pool furniture?

 

[Lynne G]

Oh no PC. Sorry to hear of the frig saga. Time for a new one?

We are in just comfy weather. Going from track practice to soccer practice. I am just a thankless taxi sometimes.

Voting is tomorrow. Be glad to see rid of some advertisements. We get them even on the phone.

Time for a quick dinner. Enjoy this spring evening,

Oh, and I am a great aunt again. Thanks to my niece. Little guy made his appearance today.

Yep, another taxi driver without pay here. Hell no, it's a built in fridge unit that is two years old. Don't buy from Sears! Bought it to match the other appliances which doesn't matter now. Replaced both dishwashers with kitchen aid models late last year.

i had so many interuptions i had to nuke my coffee a couple of times this morning....
stronger tasting but it was still ok.
coffee is coffee


i booked the disney stay today.
they released the 'promo special of back to school rates.'
it took my reservation down by $240.
thought there was a better room only special still on.

i have in past years done the free dining packages but not anymore.
still have many days left on passes i need to use up.
and with the basic packages, no hoppers.
you can add them at an extra cost to the packages.

the counter service dining is not bad but taking a pass on it.
i already have some sit down reservations and would end up not using some of the quick meal tickets then.


this was the last thing i had to book for my fall trip.
UO was in place back in January.
only need the hhn tour and tickets for that trip to be considered completed.

lynne, i think i do better without the disney dining plans.
i can do some sit down places every few days but no longer can do it twice in the day.


hope you didn't have any issues with the car and the potholes.
you are good if no tire leaks later.

And the fridge saga continues....

WHAT??

the same fridge saga we talked about back in october 15...........??

 

[Robo56]

Hey! Mac hope you got your Java fill this morning I did nothing like a couple good cups of coffee to get the motivation in gear for the day. Heading to Universal on 5-22 for a week. Still on the fence about the day at Discovery Cove. Will sort that out soon. Beautiful day here. Stormy weather coming this evening.

Lynne you are a awesome mommy taking your babies to all their games. Your children will never forget the love and nurturing that has been involved with you supporting their sports ventures. I absolutely love hanging out with the grandchildern. You know that old saying " If you think you love your children, wait till you get your grandchildren is true". glad I get to do vacation with the two youngest grandchildern the other three older grandchildren are all married with children of their own now.

Granddaughter in law is a big Potter fan so will try to get them down to Florida sometime this year for a Universal trip if it works out.

Going to try and broaden the meal horizon options this time. Usually do all the fav restaurant's. I think we are going to give Cowfish a try.

Lynne congratulations on the new addition to the family.

Congrats Lynne! My aunt works PT at discovery cove. She loves it. We've never been though. However, Seaworlf is free for us thanks to my uncles Marriott connections. Going to hit the new coaster at the end of June.
