Wonder if anyone recognizes
that quote?
I do not and I even tried to look it up and no joy.
Curse of an aging shift-worker.
Good thing you didn't leave out the f.
My alarm woke me for good at 8:00am.
I didn't appreciate the intrusion.
Whelp, no matter, things to do!
People to see!
I know how you are at Disney and figured earlier, but then again, this was a non-Disney day and can't blame you for not wanting to get up early to come see ME.
I was going over to Doc (@docsoliday1 )
and Coni's house for a bit of visiting
and relaxing.
I'm not going to give you his address,
of course, but it was a fair distance
from WDW.
Only about 40-45 minutes. We're about as far East as we can be and still be in Orlando. I wish we were closer some times....it's nice being this close though.
101 E Central Blvd, Orlando, FL 32801
No, no, no...that's the Holiday Inn, not the Soliday inn.
Sheesh, Canadians!
"Of course, sir. We just need to
attach the external tank and
booster rockets and we'll have
you on your way in not time."
And then they have to take it to the VAB and then the very slow transport vehicle.
a front pocket, which looks very impressive,
let me tell ya.
If it's a front shirt pocket, I'm not thinking that's very impressive.
Knowing my... interest... in Ariel,
Also, knowing how you thought the mug I got for Elle was so cool.
he got me a mug that is black,
but when heated shows a scene.
I've already found something else Ariel for our next meetup....well...if you're crazy enough again.
Correct placement of the mirrors is everything.
and he sent his dog out
to distract me.
She is quite the distraction, isn't she. Hard to concentrate when she's licking your hand.
Which is a dirty trick,
but adorable.
Not true. I had just given her a bath a couple days earlier.
I know I'm biased, but adorable is true.
consternated he looked when
we saw it was closed!
Who closes shop on a Thursday??
I was consternated because I thought I had found something unique for you and they were CLOSED!!! The place I really wanted to take you was too far away and too time consuming. I know how much you like ice cream, so I wanted to something NOT ordinary.
And surprisingly they were open!
On a Thursday!
go figure...people eat ice cream on Thursday too.
I look... well, just look at the
titles of almost all my TRs...
At least it wasn't your border crossing look.
Thanks for the company, Doc.
I had a great time just hanging
out with you and the Mrs.
We did too. Any time. And I do mean any time...you're always welcome.
I have a few minutes
to spare and I really
need to take advantage
of the free Photopass...
It's funny how I take pictures now where before, I just walked by.
what I assumed was a snack.
Hey! A giant cookie! All right!
It's blue! I would think your experience with the key lime pie on a stick would have taught you.
Disney is really slipping with
their snacks. This one tasted
like it was made of wood!
I think your description of the key lime pie and apple (whatever it was) were worse.
No
Okay, I'll wait some more.
Good
No
Not yet
Okay, fine!
Usually I don't have to prove
to people that I'm certifiable,
I can prove you're certifiable...you met me twice in as many days AND you had met me before.
Like most (if not all) of Disney,
photos are not allowed backstage.
Usually, (I've done this two prior times)
when I do this dive, I interact with the
guests either in the observation area(s)
or in the Coral Reef restaurant.
I knew you had once before, but not twice.
I'm usually the only one who does it.
This time, it seemed like everyone was
doing it and so there were fewer
opportunities to interact.
That sucks. Sorry.
No, and to be honest, I'm not certain what you're trying to illustrate there. I re-read it several times.
After the dive, I had another
bit of disappointment.
They didn't let you keep the wetsuit?
And that's all the videographer shot.
There were zero shots of me, so...
And this is a problem for us, how?
How's your stomach?
Feeling better?
Still where it was before.
Not really.
The hammerhead was a new addition,
and I gotta admit to a bit of...
uncertainty when it swam up to me.
I can understand that. Good thing they don't have barracuda in there.
and the dolphins are penned
off so they don't kill the fish
or scuba-diving tourists.
The fish I could understand, but I am unaware of dolphins attacking humans.
But was it as great as
the last two times.
Unfortunately, no.
Sorry, that stinks.
and instead opted for the
Smoked Corned Beef
(with Crispy Potatoes, Cheese Curds,
Pickled Onions and Beer-Cheese Fondue.)
I enjoyed this so much, I got it twice (or maybe thrice).
It was good, quite good actually,
but not in the same league
as their burger.
I think I avoided the burger because of spicy, but I'll take your word for it. I really, really enjoyed the smoked corned beef.
I had the Braised Beef “Stroganoff”
(with Tiny Egg Noodles, Wild Mushrooms
and Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs Cheese Sauce),
We had the stroganoff, but not the others. I tried the cheesecake last year and did not like it at all. We enjoyed the stroganoff.
I liked all of it but the beef dish
was the clear winner here.
