OK, funny work-related story...
I've been workin' on a 7,500 sq. ft. home design (not including a 1,500 sq. ft. detached gym) for the past 2 days.
The partner told me that it was the undertakers house. I didn't think much about it, other than the guy must own one of the funeral home chains around here.
About a half hour ago, I started gettin' more curious...the large detached gym, the partner mentioning him needing to keep in shape for matches, etc., so I googled the guys name...
His name is Mark Calaway, best known as the famous professional wrestler "The Undertaker"...!!!!!
I don't watch the WWE and stuff, but, even I've heard of "The Undertaker. I didn't even know he and his family lived in Austin...
His wife's name is Michelle McCool, also a famous wrestler, and they have a 7-year-old daughter.
Let's just say the partner also got a good chuckle outta' the whole thing after I finally put 2 and 2 together...!!!!!

Thanks! I have been hoping FPs would go up. April 3-11 Hubby’s birthday trip.

I dared to actually look ahead on the weather forecast, by 2 months. The middle of April shows a possibility of 70 degree temperatures, but there are apparently going to be 4 straight days of rain.

How on earth can the meteorologists accurately predict that the month of April will have 4 consecutive days of rain? Sometimes they are surprised by what happens 2 days into their 10 day forecast. 2 MONTHS seems to be a "brave" forecast on their part

How far are we of the launch?

How far are we of the launch?

March 4th is opening day for it, so I was worried I might not get a FP since none were offered Monday when I made my 60 day mark. I kept a HS day open for April 6. It just went online today with FPs. So I snagged one up quickly!

Awesome!! I’m so glad I read this. I didn’t realize it would be open in April. I’ll have to make sure my family gets this. Can you do FP for the SW rides and this one?

It's a tier one so you have to choose between it, Millennium Falcon, and Slinky Dog.

Double-post.

oh wow. I think millennium falcon will win.

I wonder why disney isn’t offering a special paid option for early entry or after hours at HS?

I would think it would be overwhelmingly popular. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Unless by accident I have never gone to a new attraction for the first and sometimes the second year. By then the crowds have let up and the bugs have been worked out. My sister said, what if something happens and you can't go later, if that is the case I don't see it as what I would be the most unhappy about. I did see Smugglers Run last September, but, that was a weird thing. I got there and it was practically a walk on at 7:15 pm. So I took advantage of my good luck, but it was unplanned.

I know it is silly to look that far ahead, but I just wanted to know when it would possibly be warmer outside my house than inside.

Speaking of weather, we just had the most intense storm pass through here a few minutes ago. It wasn't really raining it was just solid water that was being pushed in every direction by 60 mile an hour winds. Looking out my window I couldn't see anything past 10 feet from my window. It only lasted about 5 minutes but it was very worrisome. The wind has calmed down now and even though it is raining now it is just above a steady rain. They have given Tornado Warnings until about 7 pm tonight. It is headed toward the coast. It seems like it would be a good time not to be on I-95.
