93 w/high humidity, here.

Perhaps an ice-cold cocktail is in order...a tall Long Island Tea, maybe.

Captain Morgan makes a half-decent LIIT pre mixed. Serve with plenty of ice.

Went to Oasis for the 'Redneck Tea'.

Nice and cold. Limit two.

:drunk:

How's the trip going, Moar?

Vacation is over :(
Not right for now, but a couple of pics from the vacation:

Loving that hair colour!

Moar, you are so darn cute I could punch you! :)

OMG I second IM's motion, I think you're ADORABLY PUNCHABLE in these photos!!

Cuteness and cleavage, a formidable combination ;)

Mortay, are you doing the Pee Pee dance there in that first picture?

Cock.

Wut.

Got stood up on a date, here is what I'm wearing: Attachment 40564

Woooooooooooo

I'm a fan of the dress + boots when it's done properly... this looks quite proper to me :D

I would want that dress SO bad if it weren't for my goddamn shoulders. Damn jealous. Nice boots too.

His loss.

crap.

I've moved to a tent in the woods (manuver ops). I'm holding up 5 fingers for Addie. Today is her birthday. Hell, she is 5 years old and I have never been to her birthday party. I did speak to her on the phone & she doesn't understand why I can't go to her Chucky Cheese party.

Happy Birthday Addie!!

Right about a month ago. Last night of fencing with lil Pete before college. Tears later.

Awww. Bitter sweet times. And lovely picture. Your girl really is stunningly beautiful. Look at that smile.

My eldest niece went off to university up in Newcastle, yesterday. I know it hasn't quite sunk in yet with my bro and SiL that she's gone til December.

Gonna be hard for my bro. The two of them are such good friends. Best mates. Hard for Jen too, I know, but it's going to really hit Martin.

Bitter sweet is the word.

She is beautiful. I think dads with daughters are in a tough spot: you gotta let them grow up but they'll always be your little girl. And good job, griff dad. :)

Griff,
It is a sad and beautiful world.

Sad and beautiful.

Ohhhh...gorgeous, athletic, knows what a good man looks, sounds and acts like. Hearts will be broken, but not yours Griff. Your bruising will be painful but everyone emerges stronger. And just when you've fully recovered, she'll move back in. Don't ask me how I know this.

What a happy picture!

Awesome picture! Bittersweet indeed.

great pics, everyone


Moar - I LOVE that dark haircolor - it looks fab on you.

and hello HardWorking Sarge (if you were an action figure you'd be Hard Working Sarge in the vein of Bob the Builder)

and Griff - nice to see you! You're daughter is indeed beautiful - model beautiful even! I would kill for that nose.

Thanks everyone. It hit me all over again when that pic showed up in my email. I'm trying to prepare myself for life after youts... difficult though.

And two more beautiful women at home. I'm glad you said that Dana, when I tell him he just thinks I'm a dirty old man.

Well, that maybe true, but I've got a good eye.;)

You are a dirty old man but everyone has their role. :) I remember a goofy pact a bunch of us made in high school to improve the Irish peasant stock out here by marrying up and moving back. A number of those involved married up, but few moved back... I have admittedly married out of my league, but it keeps me focused.

Went on a camping trip with my son's cub scout den at Sky Meadows state park in Virginia.

After spending the night in our little tent, and shlepping all our camping gear back to the car, we went for a hike through the park, including a stretch of the Appalachian Trail.

Only a couple more of these camping trips, and then he'll be a boy scout and I won't be allowed to join him.

Griff - daughters grow up so quick it hurts. My oldest daughter turns 19 at the end of the month.

Glat - Looking good. I hope he stays active in Scouts. I got my Eagle in 1976. I'm still proud of it

I love these pics of dwellars and their kids. Just so lovely. :)

Not me, but decended from me....and not rfn, but today, at least. Disc golf at french creek park today. I suck at it, but I'm better than these two jokers.

Glatt- No way to get involved?

Oh, glatt.

Not true. I don't know how the do it back east, but out here, we (our troop) welcomes dads. Someone's got to drive. Someone's got to buy the stuff, etc. We have a boy-led troop, true, but they're not doing everything alone. It's not Lord of the Flies. Some of my trophy trips were with my sons on scout trips.

Blimey Jim. I still think of your bairns as kiddies. They must be teens by now.

Glatt - nice pic of the tie-dye top we saw being made!
He looks so tiny yet, but his genes predict a growth spurt in years to come.

Hope you're right. I'm hearing otherwise, but maybe it's just the one dad/one boy ratio that's changing, and it will be fewer dads.

I know I can take on a leadership role and be included, but I don't want to be a leader. I'm a pack treasurer now, and that's already more than I want to do.

This camping trip was another really good one.

Monster and Jim, nice pics!

Confidence and sunshine, and three more Dwellar-babies growing up.
What a lovely family photo.

That is a lovely family photo.

And those seats look pretty comfortable. All padded and shit.

Photo of me taken by my Grandad's cousin's wife this afternoon.

Beautiful photo! :)

awww, so cute

Is 10:30 AM too early for a drink?

Lola - you are really looking good. Hmm, let me pour a shot of Jameson's and join you

this post made me drink the rest of the appletini i made last night and did not finish

This just made me envy the three of you.

Many great pics :)

Lola, you look supremely relaxed :P

Sundae, that's a lovely shot of you and DizCat.

All the dwellars and dwellarlings: you all look like you're having such fun.

And, yeah, I was slightly taken aback by Jim's youngsters. In my head they were still kiddies. Great shot though. There could be no doubt looking at them that they're siblings. Same for Monster and Beest's kids. All have same smiles :p

well shit, if the purdy girl is, i guess i'll pour myself some rum!

Trying to make us think she's left handed. ;)

Today was spent on moving Cheri and carving pumpkins at my dad's. Addie loves to dig the "guts" out of the pumpkins. She'll run her whole arm in. We're convinced she might grow up to be a proctoligist.

Looking good Sarge!
Here's my new user pic from my niece's wedding.... niece's wedding! This boy is getting O L D.

Pretty rakish for a mountain man, must be the sword fightin'. :haha:

Agreed!

You look great Griff!

Very cute!

Swords, bikes, or coffee instead of beer..?

Thanks guys!

Griff, you look great! I'm jealous, I'm sure not aging well

You look darn good whenever you're with Addie.
