Roller ... aka Ed

They must have turned up the volume - I can hear it blaring here at SoG ... while it's over at the Poly.

I am in too! This will be a first marathon TR for me.  Can't wait!

Half Marathon ... but close enough. Thanks for joining the fun.

Kids are awake! I am awake let's get this show on the road!

Have you found your mind yet? :rofl2:

Have you found it yet? Are you sure you didn't pack it already?

Just a spot holder for my TR about the Wine and Dine Half Marathon and the after race party. Can't load photos using my tablet.

They convinced me to check my own wheelchair ... unfortunately. More on this later.

The Delta supervisor came to my loading gate, and told me he had upgraded my seat. I guess he had a guilty conscious, because he had stood nearby while the whole brewup over the racing chair went on and said nothing.

Boarded with no problems, and it was a nice seat - aisle and nothing in front of me, so I could stretch out my booted foot.

ATL is a quick flight, but you lose an hour because of the time zone change.

The Delta wheelchairs in ATL SMB! They have no padding and hard cushions. On top of that, I got the bum's rush from one arrival gate to my departure gate ... Then they left me. It was a layover of a couple of hours. It would have been nice to be able to get around by myself so I could grab a bite to eat. I eventually got a push down to T.G.I. Friday's and got a nice lunch, but ... SMB Delta.

KFK still rides.

More to come ... this was mainly to celebrate my 10000th post.

As many of you know, I was selected to race on the Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans during the Marine Corps Marathon.

Friday, October 24th, I flew out of ECP on my way to Washington, D.C. Delta Airlines got off to a bad start.

6 weeks previously, I had called and let Delta know that I was flying with a wheelchair and a racing chair. It was all set - help would be available and the chairs fly free.

No help was available at ECP; at first they said the racing chair was too large to fly - even though the same chair clay and the same class airplane all the time; the cargo supervisor came.in, took one look and said, "no problem"; then they tried to say I would have to pay $150 to fly the chair on each leg - $300 to D.C.; when I said it was supposed to fly free, they got snooty; they said there was no information about the fee being waived - I pointed out they said it flew free, so there was no fee to waive; it started to go downhill, until I insisted they contact the CRO at Delta's headquarters; suddenly, they said they would do me a favor and waive the fees.

More to come ... this was mainly to celebrate my 10000th post.

Have a Fiendishly Magical Birthday!

:pc:

Very cute, Norm ... but it doesn't change my opinion of the movie.

:beathorse:  but I still see nothing special about Frozen.

Parc Royale.

When are you thinking about going? I'll be staying at SoG the first weekend of May (and possibly a few extra days). I wouldn't mind adding a room for them.

Military can get rooms at Shades of Green. Good prices and not far from the Fort.

I've seen her during some of my Disney runs, but never taken a photo op with her.

Put it at the entrance to your campsite ... across from Dave.

It's also a lot easier for people at MK to hop over to the Poly, where a lot of people might not even be aware the Fort exists, much less would go eat at a CAMPGROUND.  :rofl2:

The ones that do stoop to coming to The Fort, are likely doing so to go to MBYBBQ or HDDR - not to actually eat with the low life campers at TE.

Ok, what's up with the Fiends? All of you at the Fort for Halloween, and not one of you has tried these yet!

Sounds a little strange, but you can make a green marinara sauce. You need to stew the green tomatoes for a while to soften them and the run them through a blender or food processor to get the consistency of sauce you desire. Add a little sugar if the sauce is too tart. Fresh herbs really helps bring out the tomato flavor. Needs more time simmering than ripe tomatoes to break down the green tomatoes.

Back when it was still a deal, we spent a week on the DDP. By the end of the week, we got sick just looking at food. We did hit a lot of restaurants we would never have eaten at otherwise; we did order items we wanted to try and never would have, otherwise; we never used DDP again. It's no longer a deal, and realistically, we don't eat in a fashion to make it reasonable.

I wonder how many more Fiends are going to be "Enhanced" because of you and Ray ...

I went to bed last night thinking it was more serious than it turned out to be.  Glad to hear the ride reopened and no one was hurt.

Me too.

Better luck with Mermaid next time. <\Snarkasm>

I blame Dave. Obviously they were supposed to drop the debris on Mermaid like Dave bribed them to do, but they missed because of the wind.

I agree with Dave - frying them is all you need to do. I can make a meal out of Fried Green Tomatoes.

If you decide to go with the green tomato salsa idea, throw in some tomatillos. Serrano peppers are a good addition if you like a little kick in your salsa. Better flavor than jalapenos.
