Lou...

I thought I understood Toddonese about as well as anyone, but I was stumped on that one.

I'm safe, the nearest horse track is in the Tampa area, too far.
But you might still see me wearing brightly colored silks, as I'm a slave to fashion, and carrying a whip, but we won't get into that.

Had to look that one up.

So you're saying that you're here to confuse us. I hate to tell you, that's not difficult to do.
As for feeling complete, knowing what postmillennialists means, has fulfilled me to no end.

We all know about Todd-speak, but right here is a good example of Judy-speak. Is that a compliment, or a jab?
Hard to tell, if you've met Judy?

The adventure did resume today, at Epcot.
As usual the actual driving part of the job was fine, but the Disney baloney that goes along with it was ridiculous.
It's like the idiot managers stay awake nights thinking, how can we make things more difficult for CMs and in particular, bus drivers.
The stupid things that have been written about here over the years regarding some of the things Disney does is not limited to those. It goes on behind the scenes big time. 

Oh boy, an excuse to post a photo of Buddy.
 

Because there are very few day shifts, 8 hours or less, posted on the exchange. As for the hub, I really don't care which one it is.
Every once in awhile there is a shift on there, you put in for it and then it can take up to 2 days to get it approved, if it gets approved.
You have to be very patient, and spend a lot of time on the computer in order to pick up 3 or 4 days every week. I know some guys do it that way, but for me, it's much easier just putting myself in the bullpen (on call) to get what I want. 
 
I put my scheduled shifts on the exchange and once they're gone, one visit to the hub to place myself in the bullpen, zap, done for the week.
I can pick the exact days and time window I want. 
 
I've been doing it that way for years, it works for me. It also helps that I have seniority over a good chunk of the drivers that put themselves in the bullpen, because that's what the call order is based on.

I've seen some of your woodworking projects Bob, so nothing for you to be jealous of.

That's her story, and she's sticking to it.
If I ever go to a strip club, and get caught, I could explain that I was conducting research for the pole.

Today was research and locate the parts day.
The pole is crucial to the overall look, so I wanted the pole to be high quality. I'm using all polished brass parts to make it and the base.
I found a company online that sells all sorts of polished brass parts. I ordered a brass ball for the top of the pole and a 1/4"diameter brass rod for the pole.
For the base, I'm using a generic brass candlestick holder which can be found at most home decor stores.
I'll drill the ball to accept the pole and cement it in place. And I'll do the same with the base.
That's it for the pole. A professional looking and quality carousel horse pole for about $35.
So far I've spent about $85, and that should do it. The rest is labor.
 
 

 
 

In addition to it being very hot, June thru Sept is also the rainy season. Anyone coming down during that time, in addition to being out of their mind, should know that by now as it's not your first rodeo. With lots of rain comes bugs.
So stay away from Orlando. I don't need you here, and don't want you here.
There is absolutely no reason, none, to come down in the summer. And I don't want to hear you whine that it's because your brats, and they are all brats, are not in school. Or that it's because the couch potato that you're married to, can only take time off from the high paying Walmart job during the summer. Dump him.

They may be easier to catch in the morning, but Nicki does have a valid point. They may eat you before you catch them.

But more than DeDave in a granny wig?

Stop thinking that you're annoying us young lady, or I'll make you sit in the corner.
There isn't a better place to ask questions about the Fort, WDW, or camping.

Step away from the computer,............ and the bottle.

I don't see that as a screw up. I see it as a great business move.
Eisner saw that Disney was losing the convention and large meeting business to off property hotels. He, and others, decided they needed a convention-oriented hotel near Epcot and they got someone else to pay for it.
Eisner did what he had to do during his tenure to bring the Disney company, and WDW, out of the financial rut that it was in. He's credited by many to revitalizing the company and removing the risk of it being a victim of a hostile takeover. Which they were before he arrived.

Blow it out your nose schmuck face! Disregard that, it wasn't nice.
I'm wishing you have a magical time and that the fairies sprinkle pixie dust over you during your entire trip.
Disregard that too, it's baloney.
