Hahahahahahahahaha.
The OP3 will hopefully be on sale by then

    I was just messing with you.  

Montfrooij Posted at 3-7 05:26
Hahahahahahaha. LOL that could be nice indeed.

Most of the ones I haven't visited are ones to be visited in the summer time to avoid severe snow and winter weather.

Hahahahahahahahahaha.
Get it.

Yeah, I can see why.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-7 22:57
Yeah, I can see why.

There is a lot to see in those states but I think it will be much more enjoyable to see in the summer.  Besides, two of my grandkids want to travel with me and see the scenery also.  So summer break works best for them.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-7 22:57
Hahahahahahahahahaha.
Get it.

Good to have a sense of humor.

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-8 05:31

Absolutely.
Keeps a lot of problems away.

Now that sounds like a plan!

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 05:37
Absolutely.
Keeps a lot of problems away.

Also it is a means of coping with difficult or awkward situations.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 05:38
Now that sounds like a plan!

I'm going to keep that on my summer "to do" list.

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-8 05:54

Bring your drone

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-8 05:53

Yeah very much!

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 06:08
Bring your drone

No doubt about that.  Both grandkids will most probably bring their drones and GoPros with them also.  

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 06:08
Yeah very much!

That reminds me of the question:  What do you call someone who takes the fun out of everything?  

A fun vacuum because they suck the life out of a room as soon as they enter.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-8 06:33

Yeah, I can understand!

I have heard that one before. But totally forgot about it.
It's a good analogy!

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 06:37
Yeah, I can understand!

The older of those two is heavily into photography and he does most of the shots for his high school yearbook.  I didn't even know that yearbooks were still a thing until he told me that he did that.  

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 06:37

Fortunately, there are not a lot of fun vacuums around.  Now the world seems to be inundated with Karens.

True. She knows stuff!

Oh that is nice!

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 06:59

Seems IG is loaded with videos on Karens.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 06:59
Oh that is nice!

It is great practice and a nice experience for him as he aspires to be a photo jouranlist.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-8 07:06

Yeah, that should train him well for that.

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-8 07:06

Don't forget FB. She's all over that place.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 10:08
Yeah, that should train him well for that.

Now we just have to see if his career expectations change in college.  

Montfrooij Posted at 3-8 10:08
Don't forget FB. She's all over that place.

I haven't been on FB in quite a while.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-9 06:31
I haven't been on FB in quite a while.

I do visit some groups there quite often.

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-9 06:30

That can change a lot for sure.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-9 10:16
I do visit some groups there quite often.

I just never was big on FB.  Once in a while I would peruse the FP marketplace but that was just about the extent of my FB use.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-9 10:16
That can change a lot for sure.

It certainly can.  He's really been interested in photography and even did a free internship with a local newspaper so he may stay on that path.

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-10 03:11

I have a couple of groups that are interesting. Drone and music related.

That is nice. Learning and getting experienced.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-10 07:41
That is nice. Learning and getting experienced.

At first he was hesitant about taking a non-paid internship but I convinced him to do so and now he is super glad he did.  He is being mentored by several really talented photographers.

Montfrooij Posted at 3-9 10:16
That can change a lot for sure.

I know mine surely did.  

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-10 13:25
I know mine surely did.

Yeah, you do hear that happening.

That sounds like a good choice.
The eldest has just started her first sidejob.
Which was a big step for her, but she likes it and they like her.
She's working in a floral shop, so that suits here

Montfrooij Posted at 3-11 00:12
Yeah, you do hear that happening.

Sometimes high school counselors guide kids in the wrong direction and other times kids just simply change their long term outlook.  Nothing wrong with that unless you become lost in a career spiral.

Ahh, getting her first taste of being in the workforce.  That is always an interesting time for sure.

DowntownRDB Posted at 3-11 03:22

Absolutely.
We did encourage it and so far so good.

We talked about this the other day with the oldest who struggles finding the right direction.
