Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

Pregnant?

your vacation thing was on the news the other night. Nothing bad, just talking about it going on.

Nice I will wave as I drive past your office on my way up. Yes chaser I will waver in your direction too.

T-3 days for me. I am soooo not ready.

To clarify - I'm completely ready to BE on vacation. But I have 5 million things to do before that.

I have a feeling that is how I will be when we go to Disney over Thanksgiving.

T-3 for me also. Too much to do at work.
My goals for the trip are reasonable.
1. Don't get eaten by a bear.
2. Don't run out of gas in an isolated area.
3. Possibly grow a mustache. The 5 guys going on the trip have agreed to grow mustaches. We'll see if anybody actually follows through. My 3 days of pre-vacation growth is already driving me nuts.

Sometimes when I take a bike trip I'll stop shaving a few days before and let it grow until I get back. Just to keep the look of a dirty biker and second to remind me that it comes in too gray.

Thanks. I'll be sure to have everybody in the office wave back.

Whenever I have to perform the concussion protocol for kids at sporting events I ask a series of simple questions they should quickly know the answer to. If they seem OK, the last question I ask is always, "What is the air-speed velocity of a swallow?" I figure that if they know the answer, something is messed up in their brain.

What's the answer? Just in case I get bonked in the head and you're there to test me for a concussion.

Finally got the white screen of death after posting. Weird. Now I know what everyone is talking about on the Bugs thread

Edit: But not this time...

For women this is equivalent to the quest for the Holy Grail. Good luck on your quest!

I don't think men understand the elation of the first pair of jeans you try on a) fitting, and b) looking good.

I wish you well on your endeavor, Nickels.

Taking it that pantless isn't an option?

Got free wifi in Osage, sweet!!

First pair fitting AND looking good? You may have won the lotto there.

Something went horribly wrong if we drive past your office.

Hey, GTO, robots online up to 44 this morning. Not encouraging!

Don't know if Penn from Penn and Teller has a twin sister, but I saw her.

Being that I work in a federal courthouse that is, maybe, an understatement.

 

[jcyclonee]

Needing to go buy new jeans this weekend, not looking forward to it. Buying pants is the devil's work.

Not a particularly nice thing to say about a significant other.

Not the hennepin courthouse per chance?

Speaking of federal courthouses...I have a friend that has indicated the the fed courthouse in CR may have a PokemonGo thing in it.

Two tips as a recent went-to-Disney-over-a-holiday vet:

If there is a group of you going and you haven't scheduled meals yet (and want to eat at a sit-down place at Disney), do it now or be prepared to be eating dinner at 3PM or 9PM.

While you're down there, just keep telling yourself, "We're not in a hurry. We're not in a hurry". I'm not sure how comparable the crowds are for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but the people that looked the most miserable where the ones that looked like they were late for stuff. I likened it to walking through a crowded mall a week before Christmas.

The last time I was in Disney World it was part of CA-World. The park was closed on Wednesday night so we could have free go of it. You could just walk up to any ride and get on most with no wait.
