'Morning all...
Burrrr...
-4C is just a smidgen off normal for autumn in the Carolinas.
Actually had to put on a coat and start-up the Missus's auto this morning.
So how bad did it get for all y'all farther north of me?
It could be both (cash-saving and weight-saving). "Your engine is too expensive, find a way to make it cheaper."
"Well, we could use plastic here, but it would be in danger of--"
"Do it!"
I've been in meeting that went along those lines.
The story checks out.
Hey guys, I’m back in civilization after my get away to my friend’s cabin. It was a nice weekend. The weather was mostly sunny but cold. We stayed inside for the most part anyway. My friend had a couple projects to keep us busy, like putting some insulation in his attic. I am an early riser so my mornings were spent putting in a fire, having a cup of tea, and reading a book. Not one email or phone call was checked. Almost a shame to come back to reality.
That sounds quite relaxing.
Well, except for the having to work in return for the room & board, but that's fair and a small price.
You probably should'a found a way to stay longer.
That's great! Nice Job there sir. When ya going? C'mon details........... Nice Guitars in the background there too
You and the Mrs on a solo trip? That's terrific.
YEAH BOIIIIII!!!!
Nice one. Is this for the Convention thing or an cheeky Xmas trip?
Definitely a cheeky trip. Not part of the DDCC cause I can't travel the week that they always do that one (unless I'm actually unemployed, but that's a different situation). Just me and my Gal, and we're looking forward to taking it slow and spending a fair amount of time in the various lounges across property.
I've actually been kind'a holding back on talking about this one as right up 'til the last minute I could'a had to to cancel it.
Story goes like this -
We tried to do this back in the summer, but the new overlords changed the accounting calendar and wrecked that attempt. A second chance showed up when Disney reissued the free dining packages. This time I was supposed to be unemployed and was intending to spend part of the time looking into employment in Fla (may still do a bit of that though). As it stands now, I'm still scheduled to have work through the end of the year and possibly a bit farther, but we still figured - Ehh, what the heck, let's go anyway.
As a side note: we're actually doing this mostly on Dis-Visa points and gift-cards that we've been saving up for quite some time so it's not costing me very much out of pocket.
Anyway, details, details...
We're heading that general direction either Friday evening of Saturday morning. It's a mixed trip with time on-world and some off site. Sunday through Thursday morning we're camping at AS-Mu (can't afford moderates or better any more). As a treat, we'll do the
MVMCP on Sunday evening and then hop the parks the next four days. Staying in the area until Saturday so we'll probably be hitting The Springs and doing some more resort hopping toward the end of the week. As I said, we picked up free dining this time so we'll also check out a few sit-down dinner options that are new to us such as:
Skipper Canteen, Sanaa, Hacienda de San Angel and The Wave. It's also the last week of the F&W over at Epcot, so we'll be saving the snack credits for that (more bang for the buck).
Well'p...
That's the story gents.
