That is wonderful. Were you happy with how
It turned out from Insta pot?

Yes I was. Lots easier to clean than my heavy slow cooker ceramic insert!

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Blend in well!

Yeah, a lot of times if they're laying on the kitchen chairs, we can't tell them apart until we take a closer look.

My aunt has two Siamese cats. No idea how she tells them apart.

It's technically a monorail, but I refer to it as poor man's Peoplemover

Once upon a time it was transportation you could take to and from town. Back before they moved the racoons because they were in a spot where they could beg for candy

15 pound butterball Thanksgiving Turkey bought free due today due to younger brother's work.

His work allows employee to buy to a turkey or a ham up to $27.00 at selected stores.

There was something I didn't say. Thanksgiving will be the 2nd big meal in November. The first big meal will be less than 2 weeks before Thanksgiving with it being my Mom's birthday. It is being done at my parent's home with my dad grilling Porterhouse steak with mushrooms, and baked potato.

Her birthday meal always been going out to eat, but Covid-19 changed it this year. We do not feel comfortable to go eat to eat at this point. All 4 family members are at risk with my dad having the most medical stuff before covid-19 that increases the chase of being at risk.

Yeah, I'd heard that. I've spent time reading up on the Park's history. Out of curiosity or boredom, you pick.

But now, it gets listed as poor man's Peoplemover, along with poor man's Astrorbitor, Tea Cups, and Big Thunder Mountain (Trailblazer)

James rode all of them at 13 months. Disney was never a problem There used to be a airport across the street you could walk to. To say it was small would be an understatement. It didn't have a tower

My wife is at my #1 son's house (watching the grandsons) while he is in the Hospital battling ulcerative colitis (just diagnosed)it has been a cluster you know what ---- but I won't get into that. Wife sent this picture of the golden retriever in my wifes cup of coffee. Even dogs need coffee in the morning View attachment 509795

I hope your son feels better soon. That is a beautiful room, I would love a bright sunny room like that.

We put a bowl out last night, didn’t seem to be touched when we got back.

It’s been rainy so far today. Woke up at 8:50 and was helping set up the venue by 9:10AM. Just got back to the house to snack and get dressed. The whole thing is set up like one of his political campaigns. Here’s a souvenir from decades ago:

If the rain keeps up, the outdoor part may not happen. Brian, as the son, is going to be in contact with virtually everyone. Possibly hundreds of people - drinking and eating. It’s absolutely asinine, so you can all tell me if I’m sick in 2 weeks that it was my own fault for being aware of everything and still acting stupidly.

Even if I didn’t go at all, Brian is still a potential issue. This is making me nuts.

I hope that you and Brian stay healthy.

No trick or treaters. Nobody knows I’m up here. It from the outside like a business and doorbells are by the vestibule they are not readily seen. There are only 3 others homes on this block with double
Open lots between and it ends on a busy road. We are all avoided. Half a mile from where
My house was I always went through 4 boxes of full sized candy bars. Lots Treaters
Out on other streets. No doorbelling. Tables or shoots set up. No contact and social distancing between candy piles on tables. It was done well here.

My son said he had 4 treaters on Carl’s First Halloween

It's still Hersheypark in the Dark, so some people are wearing costumes.

Just saw a guy dressed as a piece of bacon.

Yes bacon.

Still not sure what to think, except now I want bacon.

My 8 year old granddaughter went as a slice of bacon and her candy bag has an image of two fried eggs.

just came a an hour or so ago from animal kingdom, its not even 30 minutes since they closed and its raining.. HARD!!

Flight of Passage and Pandora was definitively amazing.
The boat ride.. yeah nope...


Flight of Passage: worth waiting an hour for sure. the whole thing was amazing and it did last quite a bit.
The part of the sea was absolutely breathtaking.
There was not much waiting the first time. The line moved fast despite being spilled waaaay back to Harambe. I think the real wait was like 25 minutes because of social distancing.

The second time was longer.

The humidity and heat was brutal this time, I was soaked in sweat on the first minutes. Barely any wind.
In the good side, by 12pm it started to get overcast with some hefty clouds.

Characters did appear via boats making random trips to avoid people cluttering on the bridges (which did happen sometimes).
They all started right by expedition everest and did a loop around adventure island. Each ship with their own theme music.
Donald, Daisy and Launch McPad. Mickey, Minnie and Pluto. Pocahontas and Meeko. Rafiki and Timon and the adorable Chip and Dale in their dinosaur costumes with Goofy.


Yak and Yeti took 1 hour to accommodate me, but it was packed. Pretty sure that without the card I would have never made it.

Also social distancing made this very awkward sometimes for me. Because I was a single dude in my 30's. Why? because almost in every attraction I was.. I had the entire gigantic row for me.
For example.. after 10 years of being unable to get into Dinosaur (It always broke down when I was about to visit). I had the second row all for myself.. XD
Speaking of Dinosaur.. now I know why that thing breaks.. the shacking is very intense.. reminds me of Transformers minus the elevator effect.

Now the bad:
The Navi boat ride was so freaking boring and short. Yes the projections are good and the Shaman Animatronic was impressive. But that was it. There was nothing much.
Felt like a budget Pirates. Not to mention that you could see when the video loops a few times because of bad separation between the boats and badly designed corners.
The masks affected the flight of passage as well as anything 3d. As the masks will cause your breath to condensate and will fog the screens. Flight of passage was a bit blurry the second time I went and the bike didnt work at 100% (It never synced to 100%, stuck at 37% and the breathing effect did not work properly). The first time everything worked.. so good!!!
There were a few Karens who tried to cut lines, rudely tried to push their ways..etc..

 

[Cesar R M]

Bonus stuff: I had a hawaian white style shirt with some pictures of shacks and sun and sea.
Also had my Safari style hat from Cancun.
Now add my equipment and my large professional camera (Nikon D500 and large lens).
and I got 4 people confusing me for a cast member asking me questions.
I answered my best then I noticed that they looked back and asked If I worked there.. and I said I dont..
Then told him how to identify the cast members properly lol.
This was both in english (once) and 3 times in spanish..
No idea why I somehow attracted spanish speaking guys with my mask on when I never spoke spanish when I was there until they talked to me. XD

MIL was totally blown-away surprised today when we showed up in Houston for her birthday today (which is actually Wednesday - she’ll be 85), and she wept tears of joy...!!!!!!!
We distanced in their garage and had MOD Pizza and Torchy’s Tacos for lunch...!!!!! Emmy even wore her duck outfit for Great Mimi Shirley that she loved so much in pics and video...!!!!!

I will send it all to you. It has been windy here all day. No rain though (contrary to what my weather app thinks; there's stars out)

 

[Figgy1]

Wind blowing, lights flickering. 2020 you've proven your point! Now get the bleep out of here!

hey, you go to Disney almost every month XD

And yes, send the cold, but not too much XD
There is nothing more that I hate than entering a cold room attraction while I'm soaked in sweat.. XD

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Oh how I wish.

Hershey, since I've been a season passholder, yeah, pretty much every month April-October. Disney, more like twice a year.

I'm still cold.
