Was so bad I almost went to the ER. Felt a bit better the next morning so toughed it out. Getting a little better each day. Light solid food today.
Hope you are doing better today.
Hey gents, I don’t have much time for banter this week. I’m involved in a tender submission at work. First time I’ve been involved in something like this and I’m well outside my comfort zone. Only one more week and it’s done, for better or worse.
Hope you have a good week. Looks like Mark @Captain_Oblivious will have the best week of us all. Enjoy! One more month and I’ll be there...
Best of luck and hopefully you can get some recharge time this weekend.
Morning brethren, from the mother country. Picking up the brisket at lunchtime to start to prep for tomorrow morning.
Stick the BBQ on at 6am, and it should be ready for 5PM. Got a couple of sheets of ribs to trim as well.
Sounds like a nice game plan. Looks like we have some nasty weather coming in tonight and Sunday so our normal Sunday all family dinner will have to get pulled up to Saturday. Family wants chicken legs so I will be prepping and cooking up my famous BBQ, lemon pepper and garlic & herb recipes at some point.
Still on leave from the back surgery, and I am better than yesterday, not as good as tomorrow. ;)
Great to hear you are doing well. How's Jodi doin?

Good luck Jeff, we are rooting for you. Let us know how it went when you can.

Feeling better this morning chief?

Yep. Going to venture out tomorrow. Although the brisket sounds delicious, I don't think I am ready for it just yet.

happy Friday. tennis tournament madness here this weekend, just in time for rain. :scared1:

Good luck coach.

Right. That’s it.

Thank god. One of the worst weeks in a long time.

Being bossy. She's making me do chores and keeps bugging me to get up and walk. Jezz, it's like she wants me to get better or something ;)

What a tyrant. Just tell her, "You just wait until my back gets better." That will give her a big laugh.
 
Happy Friday all!.

Another hot day up in this part of the world. Played in a charity golf tournament yesterday for Give Kids the World, great time everything was free. Our gift for playing was a Google Home device.

Basketball tournament starts tonight for Declan. This time last week I would have said they had a good chance of winning their division but not so much now. Because another team registered in the Men's Open division and the guy that registered that team realized that most of his players were only 14 and 15. The tram had a bunch of kids coming from Germany for an exchange and I guess they didn't really check to see who was coming. So now Declan's team has been moved to the top division and will play with a number of provincial teams. Should be interesting.


Hopefully you got the next weeks Canadian lottery numbers that I sent over by email yesterday morning. Along with my plans for the new Officers Square re-development. Remember me when you win the lottery.


Hopefully those plans will be easy to understand because there are plenty of people over here who seem to have a hard time understand basic descriptions of redevelopment projects.

Bad news is I was violently ill this week.The good news I am almost back to normal.

Bonus good news is my waitlist moving me from the Boardwalk to the Poly for DDC came through.

Good news on two fronts, glad to hear you are feeling better.

They did seem to be getting awfully testy over a fence. I'm now following it with interest.

I'm sure he will be fine, good luck to him.
 
Well, first match done. Team lost 35-23 points. Not too bad, but youngest dd played terrible and lost. I never care if she loses, but just that she gets in her own head and plays bad. Have to play the coach vs dad role now. I hope she plays better tomorrow.

Sounds good. Trader Sam's with Judy Hops. Hope she can keep up with me for 3 minutes.

I didn't know you were famous for your bbq, lemon pepper recipe. Let me know when it's ready and I'll stop by to eat.

It doesn't matter if you're healthy or not, the women folk be telling you what to do.

Good luck to Declan and the team. Sounds like he'll need it.
 


A bathroom remodel and a trip to WDW in the same month? Send me some of those spare millions you have over there. WOW!!!

Sorry No money left, I got a fence being put up the following weekend when we get back:crazy2:. I'm trying to make huge headway on the Honey -do- list, since I feel I am heading into my midlife crisis, I already have the cars that some envy, and most said would be the first things gone after I got married 15yrs ago:rolleyes1. needless to say not the case:car::thumbsup2. Most of the guys my age that are buying midlife crisis toys are catching a lot of crap from their wife , so I'm going to go against the grain and go with the Happy Wife Happy Life theory:confused3, In the long run everyone wins , Wife gets what she wants, If I want to get something it would be easier to convince into getting, and my son cleans up years to come:goodvibes:thumbsup2:dancer:.
 
Morning guys. Waiting until 8:00 to go out for breakfast and I am looking forward to it.

Its rubbed, wrapped and ready to go. Maybe next time.

You bet.

Tough position to be in, Dad/Coach. Good luck, hope she plays better today.

She is basically the best person in the world. 100%

How very true.

Morning boys from the mother country. Doin’ man stuff since 6am.

FIRE GOOD!
 
Morning Gents, going to be another scorcher here. Luckily for us we get to spend it in a hot gym.

10 point loss for Declan and his team last night; I'm not expecting to see anything better today. But the purpose of this team to get better for the school season. Coach has moved him to a new spot so he's still working on learning that. He wants to use him more in the 2 and 3 spot, he has always been a 4 or a 5 so this going to be an adjustment for him.

On the road shortly for two more games today. Hope everyone has a good one.

Anyone....Anyone....Everyone is going to let this slide?

Sorry obout the results guys. Try to survive the heat.
 
Morning all. 3rd place in our flight now, although one team has yet to play. We play the #1 team at 1:30, which will be their 2nd game, so we may have a better chance. We play the one team that hasn't had a match at 6 tonight, which means it us hard to set a double lineup when I can't scout a team ahead of time.

Oh well. I'm still in shock they lost yesterday as we were the better team at all 5 matches. I have no idea what to expect today.

Wait a minute. I get to buy stuff I want? When did that happen?

I used to do that, you end up losing to yourself. All the best to the young’un mate.

Thanks. She gets that from me. However, unlike her, I never had anyone coach me BEFORE it, so I didn't have a plan on how to get out of it.

Tough position to be in, Dad/Coach. Good luck, hope she plays better today.
!

Thanks.

Good luck today. But, basketball is doing away with the 5, so maybe it's better in the long run.

We had a massive t-storm come thru last night. Either that will take the heat away, or leave us soaked in humidity. Get that bbq going?
 
In a world of insecurity and strife, at last some kind of sanity and common sense breaking out. Rejoice and let the bells peal.

At last! I've been boycotting them. There goes my diet. :rotfl2:
Actually, if we could get Kindereggs in the US, my diet might be in jeopardy. Those things are amazing and the toys are similar (still better) to what cracker jack used to be long ago. I have 10 more lbs to go before September trip.

Somehow, that clause didn't end up in our contracts, obviously.

It hit us this morning about 5:30 or so. Not sure if it got bigger, weakened or stayed the same, but it was a humdinger just the same. Even after it passed, my dog didn't want to go out.
 
Well this is the worst stall on brisket I’ve ever had. 5hrs and only a 10f shift. This brisket has been on for 12.5 hrs and is still 30f off pulling temp. Nightmare. Anyone for pizza?
