Something About Nothing ... #12

I've had extremely limited internet for the last week. We were in the Smoky Mountains. Had no power at all for 36 hours starting Thursday morning. We're back in civilization now. Well, Kentucky anyway. We're ordering Mexican from the restaurant next to the hotel.
 
Haven't been able to log in using Chrome since last night...until a few minutes ago.

Well, my Nashville Predators are moving on to the Western Conference Finals!!!
 
Is opening weekend of HHN more or less crowded than the weekends after? A friend is going the first weekend and said we should meet up - but she is very hardcore and I don't think I'd be able to hang with her family properly. (Remember - I can't do strobe lights and don't like people jumping out at me). I'm guessing we'll just end up at HHN a few Sunday evenings here and there. I probably won't know until a week or less before.

I've been busy doing pretty normal stuff. Well, except for Friday when a peacock attacked my car. Now my car has lots of scratches. I'm hoping they're not too deep. We're continuing to do the theme park rounds - it was Epcot Thursday evening with just hubby and then Epcot today with the kids. It was supposed to be a moderate crowd day and felt like that walking around. It did NOT feel like that looking at how long waits were. Eldest had the SAT yesterday morning. He said he thinks he likes the SAT better than the ACT. We will see if his scores reflect that. Eldest and hubby are off watching GotG right now. I stayed home with the younger two who have zero interest. (On that note, I finally watched Fantastic Beasts. I don't know what I'd do without Redbox). I think I have a pretty quiet week so maybe I'll get on and check in better this week. It seems like the site was acting up every time I tried so I gave up.
 
Kholby opening weekend for hhn in all past years has had the lowest attendance for it compared to the run of it


Don't think we can count on it following for 2017 as it might bring in more crowds with everyone thinking that

Also park attendance has been low in mid September in the past

This year hhn begins earlier a few days

I have gone opening weekends the beginning years I went then changed to Columbus Day weekend and weekend that follows

I'm hard core hhn and found things change for improvement after the first two weeks of it

Kinks are worked out, more scare actors can be added depending on the need and bill and ted gets tweaked to improve the show are some of my reasonings

So I am better informed on the two weekends first hand for that time period I go

Schumi always goes opening weekend and second week of hhn

She can share how it was for her on crowd levels

I did notice Nashville was shining!
Wow very impressive

You had trouble with chrome a long time
I know nothing about Chrome
So all I can say is gee whiz that sucks

I found out too smoky mts and Internet tick me off

No power that long would have me screaming
I scream already when it rains and no dish signals

Can't go wrong with Mexican food
Hope it is good in Kentucky
I stick with BBQ when there

I love it when all my kids drop on here
 
After painting the coop frame all day we decided out for dinner at favorite local restaurant/bar/grill. Kids brought home half of theirs for lunch at school tomorrow. Frame is done, now onto assembly. Moved old coop in preparation for new one-and door swung shut. Didn't notice til I went to put babies to bed and the big kids are walking around confused LOL.

Miss TWD on sundays...Full work week this week (making up for very slow week last week), but oldest will be home friday!Grocery bill about to go up with her and her friend here all summer. Good thing I ordered an extra quarter of beef -which I have to pick up tomorrow. Steaks for grill all summer, with veg from garden means hopefully I don't bankrupt! I don't know what is up with the weird winter but even the fruit trees are covered in fruit! 5 years and it is first time I have seen plums on the tree (does it take that long for new trees to bear fruit?)

Time to scrape more paint off me-noticed I missed a few spots at dinner...

Mac is correct it's quieter than later weekends.

But, its still busy. Really busy.

I honestly believe the phrase quiet nights are a thing of the past. Opening night last year we saw 90 minute queues by 8pm. Compared to a few years ago it is definitely much busier. We didn't notice Sunday's any less busy than other nights. Maybe a little when it's still light out.

Some people don't mind queueing, but no way would we ever do any HHN night without EP.......

But, if you don't like people jumping out at you, sounds like it's not for you at all.

Our fruit trees haven't started bearing this year yet, and our plums don't shed till late August into September. They are Victoria Plums. We planted a couple of new plum trees last year and not expecting much for a couple of years.

Rest of our trees seem to alternate which gives the best yield. Last year a couple of pear trees were yielding in abundance, previous year not so much. We are expecting loads of apples this year.

Most of our fruit is taken by local farm who has her own little business. I do get little freebies like pies and chutneys from her which is always nice.
 
Good Morning and Afternoon homies! It's Monday, and back to routine.

I like hockey, and while my town is not playing, the playoff games have been great. The Predators win was impressive. Close game until the end.

Sun and clouds today. Sweater on, we went down to 38 last night. DH was grumbling that I turned the heat on around 10pm last night. 62 degrees inside was not my idea of comfort. Weather people said, definitely need a jacket today. Yeah, it's brisk too. 20 or so mph winds from the northwest, so cool and cooler day today. Oh well, I'll be inside most of the day.

Keisha, glad to hear dog went home. :dog: Older one is home too, as done his dog sitting duties. Lucky, though his allergies are bad right now, dog dander does not set him off. He's a dog lover as well.

Mac, hope you are getting more sleep, and figuring out how to get coffee. Hope you are on the mend, and having less painful PT. :hug: Mummy dust sent. Take care.

MonyK, that's funny about the coop door shutting. Nice the chicken's are getting a new place. And yeah, with teens in my house, food bill is larger. Other nice thing is that older one is working, and so are some of his friends, so they go out, and eat. Trouble is, when the come home, they eat again. Oh well, at least when the weather's warm, food outside is easier to clean up. Little one took the SAT last year, as practice. She did really well, but I think this coming school year, is the real one. Not as familiar with the ACT. So may tests in the high school years. I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that little one is almost done 10th grade.

Our growing season is mid summer, so no local fruit yet. We used to have an apple tree, and the squirrels kept eating the apples. Many years ago, we lost it in a snowstorm. We finally ended up with a flowering apple tree, and it does not bear fruit, just pretty flowers. I love this time of year though, as everything is colorful. :daisy:

I'll miss the September homies too. Also arriving October 1. Oh well, hoping to say hello to some homies the first 2 weeks of October, as well as the end of December. Both trips start with the mouse, and end in the dark side. December trip you get the bonus of meeting the kids. :santa:

Have an awesome day. Time for tea. Hot. :coffee:
 
I'm alive and have the electric blanket on

Unusual temps here but seems like many places are having low dips of weather


Tomorrow will be better

Still have not made coffee
Is probably would feel better if I did

Off for a test today
Hope I pass with an A+
 
Freezing here today too mac.........apparently yesterday and today are colder than we had in most of February this year.........too cold for me. Not going out and heating is on.......

{{{ hugs }}} Test well!
 
Mac, hope the tests turn out good for you...I would say 'turn out positive', but I work in the world of radiology, and a 'positive' test is not a good thing.
 
I failed the test

Need to think a bit now as we drive back home



But I truly sincerely appreciate all your prayers, encouragement and good thoughts
 
Oh Mac, Not sure what failing means, but prayers and good thoughts are nonstop for you. :grouphug: I hope things get better very soon.
