Father's Day

[Stew]

Any special plans for the Dad's big day?

[Shlbylvr]

Yip, I'll wake daddy up at 7am with a phone call..

[Stew]

Probably gonna do steaks and brats with pops at my house. :chef:

What are pops???

[Stew]

What are pops???

Pops - an affectionate term for my father. Sorry should have used a term known to all not just me. :doh2:

[ati]

Pops - an affectionate term for my father. Sorry should have used a term known to all not just me. :doh2:

No need to apologize I was just curious of the meaning. I'm glad you still have a "Pop" to celebrate with I lost my Pop 23 years ago. I sure wish he was still here with us.

If the weathers good Fathers Day morning I will take a long cruise in the Shelby with the top down and stop by the cemetery and visit my father. In the afternoon we will have a cookout at my house with the kids and a few relatives. Thanks for the idea, steaks, brats and :beerchug: sounds good.

Sorry you lost your father. I'm lucky I get to spend the day with my father and my kids. I appreciate these times because I know they will not last forever.

Cherish every moment you have with them.. I haven't spend a Fathers day with mine since 1998.. I miss him so much, but it was a choice i made..

Sorry to hear that. Do you anticipate seeing him anytime soon?

[Shlbylvr]

Sorry to hear that. Do you anticipate seeing him anytime soon?

I just spent 3 weeks with him.. next trip in about 16 - 18 months..

[Black Vert SS]

I just got my gift.... an ipad! Still learning the ropes on it. Will probably meet with friends at 7 am and run 5 miles and then will do brunch with some family members then Veg the rest of the day.

Monday morning, I thought I had forgotten Father's Day, that it was this past Sunday. :doh2:

Haven't made any plans. My father passed in 2000 and Eric's in '08.

I'm sure we'll figure something out. Hopefully the weather won't be nasty...

I usually just order myself something and then my wife gives it to the kids to give to me. :wtg:

[rickf73]

Have invited my Dad over Sunday to grill. The usual Fathers Day thing. Luckily I still have my Mom and Dad around, 80 years young. They have more energy than me. :grin:

[Boston Mike]

I heard Mrs JoeG was having her parents over for a weeklong celebration of Father's Day.

You think so... but there's a double standard vs. Mothers Day.

Mothers Day - Dad and kids are supposed to wake up early and make breakfast in bed for Mom. Mom gets to sleep in, then Dad takes the kids for the day (because Mom gets to have her special day to herself as reward) while Mom gets her hair done, nails polished and a foot massage. Dad take everyone out to Mom's favorite restaurant for dinner, making sure to pay.

Fathers Day - Mom and kids wake Dad up early because it's his special day. Dad gets the reward of making breakfast with the kids - because it's a "fun thing to do". Mom goes out on her own, while Dad gets to celebrate the day by spending all day with his lovely kids - because you know Dad's never get to spend time with kids and this is special for him. :rolleyes: Dad has to wait in line at the butchers to get some meat for dinner, then gets the fun of standing in front of the BBQ for an hour grilling, while everyone else is in the house with the AC on.






Enjoy your first Fathers Day, Monkey.

I have a fridge-full of beer in the garage. I'm good.

That's how we usually do things around here.

It would be nice to get something unexpected that we want once in a while. But that also works both ways and is hard to do. I'd probably end up getting some car part for the wife like HSURB does. :rolleyes:

I'll be getting breakfast in bed hopefully.

And then go have breakfast. Then give Dad a call.

I heard you spend time playing video games with your kids.

That seems so minor compared to what I hear others do.

Too true. We usually just go out to dinner or a movie - some alone time is nice if the grandparents will take the kids for the day.

No one here on earth is perfect, and you're not the second coming. :shades:


Just enjoy your time with the family and do the best you can. :grin:

[Stew]

That seems so minor compared to what I hear others do.

Every situation is different depending on the age/interest/sex of your children. Each one of mine likes to do different activities with me. They don't really care what the activity is as long as your spending time with them and showing interest in what they are doing. I'm sure you know this better than I do, my kids are only 2, 4 & 6.

[Shlbylvr]

That seems so minor compared to what I hear others do.

That is so untrue. My dad worked a lot when I was a kid. He says he doesn't remember spending time with us.. But I have some of the best memories with my dad. It is not the quantity but the quality that counts here.

I made a special photo album for my dad in my woodshop, collected pics from my brother and sister, and hired a scrapbooking company to do it right. It's taken me over a year to get this all lined up.

Unfortunately, due the funeral tomorrow...not sure it's the right time to give to him...I'll make the call when I'm with him Friday.

...I got no problem with jumping on a plane out there.....but its a bit more for timmy since he has a few hours just to get to kc for the flight out....plus he does have a business and kids involved in stuff.....but I put the thought out there......right now his area is getting really pounded by a storm again....I suspect he is thinking that mother nature has it in for him.....

.....it is a bit of a stretch for him to use the co plane since he has a pilot for it, and it would tie the guy up for a weekend, plus its a bit dicey to use it without at least a glimmer of co business....if nothing else the irs is going great guns after such things. Maybe we can make it in later years if not right now.......but it does sound like a fun weekend.

....nothing so dramatic...........its still about 70-80 miles out from what I can tell...........probably more of a flood issue with all the rain we have had lately.......some streams around here are notorious for catching folks off guard......6-8 inches of fast water can take a car away, but many drivers don't quite grasp that. And when it is basement time, we have it made here........we vaulted under our garage when we built the house because there was a bit of fill where the garage was to go....so 1100 sq ft of vault with 9 foot ceilings.....and the vault ceiling/garage floor....supported by 3 major I beams and 7 tons of steel on 4" centers and 50 tons of concrete.....I think a semi could land on it without any issues.......but hopefully no trying it out tonight.

Was awesome day today....did yard work, put up new mail box, cut up lumber, and did a drive by.....:tease2:

[Tommy Gun]

Uh oh, haven't checked the yard....

[KC BadCat]

Cool. :wtg:

...yea...but no access to the outside except thru a basement door at the other end of the house.....we didn't really plan for this...one of those change your plans on the fly type of things......many times I have pondered putting in a wing wall and cutting thru a couple of foundation walls for a garage door so I could put a tractor and couple of cars down there.....maybe a good retirement project in a few years..

...I got no problem with jumping on a plane out there.....but its a bit more for timmy since he has a few hours just to get to kc for the flight out....plus he does have a business and kids involved in stuff.....but I put the thought out there......right now his area is getting really pounded by a storm again....I suspect he is thinking that mother nature has it in for him.....

.....it is a bit of a stretch for him to use the co plane since he has a pilot for it, and it would tie the guy up for a weekend, plus its a bit dicey to use it without at least a glimmer of co business....if nothing else the irs is going great guns after such things. Maybe we can make it in later years if not right now.......but it does sound like a fun weekend.

Sounds like just a bunch of excuses to me.

Timmy's a big boy. His kids aren't youngsters.

Heck - I'm driving about 18 hours each way. He'd be at Orfstock if he wanted to.

Father's Day is without a doubt one of my favorite days of the year.

Last year my youngest boy Colin (CWB) had an event at his daycare the Friday before Father's Day for Dads to come and make Ice Cream Sundaes with their kids.

After the Sundaes the teachers asked all the Dads to sit down because our children had a surprise for us that they had made.

I took a picture when I got mine. I melted. It is one of my favorite pictures of my littlest guy.

Tomorrow it's a Blue Jay game with my three sons and I can't wait!

Happy Father's Day to all the great Dads here, have a terrific day with your kids!

[Joe G]

Thanks JTB.

Have a great day with your sons. :tiphat:

[Cobra Drifter]

Happy Fathers Day everyone! :wtg:

plus its a bit dicey to use it without at least a glimmer of co business....if nothing else the irs is going great guns after such things.

The way I see it, there will be more than a few business owners there who could be on the look-out for "a full-service advertising agency and custom publishing firm".


Just sayin'....


He'd be at Orfstock if he wanted to.

Bingo.

That was us John. Didn't even get cleaned up from the morning storm before all the **** hit the fan again. We had golf ball size hail and between 4 and 5 inches of rain. All rivers are completely out of the bank.

I just feel bad for the farmers. They just started test cutting wheat on Friday - and have now lost then entire crop. Everything was leveled here.

Don't feel sorry for the farmers, they are are subsidized anyway.

Hope you are OK though.

[KC BadCat]

...ditto on the hope for all being ok.....but I do feel for the farmers, since not all are fully covered by insurances, etc.........good years are needed to balance out the bad years......it always freaks me out when I hear the price of some of the equipment they need to plant and harvest....makes our shelbys seem cheap....

[Shlbylvr]

Happy Father's Day to all the dads..

[The Bone]

I am glad the Cat and Joe G are ok.
My Fathers Day was outstanding. First wife cooked breakfast not me. Then it was time to open presents. I serenely didn't need them but they were very nice.
I got some new CD sneakers. A new Hawaiian shirt I love them they make me look thin. I also got a cooler with a place to put my Ipod with some speakers
Then took the car out for a ride. We were going down the freeway and I was driving easy got on the freeway easy just out for a putt.
then the wife says how fast will it go in 3rd. I said I don't know. So I still just driving cool then we took a exit to another highway and the road was clear so the wife said ler her rip so I got on it in 4th and man did that car take off. what a fun ride. I don't know why it took so long for me to do this. You guys with the TVS must be incredible. I cant imagine how that must be.

Hope everyone had a great day. I sure did.

Yes, you are correct, it is when we became our own country separate from Britain with our own Constitution in 1867 (Canada's just a teenager compared to the USA Est: 1776)

We are still a British Commonwealth nation and therefore our ultimate Head of State is The Queen and she is on some of our currency, she graces a few notes and coins, most notes bear an image of one of our Prime Ministers, no different the US notes honouring past Presidents. FYI, The Queen is also on some of our stamps and there is a portrait of The Queen in Hockey Arenas.
