I won’t be joining tonight folks. Just got back from a hunting trip so I am exhausted. Going to be an early bed time.

@recreationaltimetraveller and I outlasted even the left-coast cow on the DO by a brief minute.

It was good to see everyone (except @codfather who of course ghosted us all).

I have it on good authority that a 12 year old awarded E50k/*G thru 12/31/21 to a gracious friend on the DO. No strings attached but we'd encourage a Barbados or China miniDO in the future, with a guided tour.

My sincere apologies. I hope sleeping 0030-0930 will have significantly improved my jet lag.

You can bet a China mini do with a guided tour will happen when the world is back to normal (hoping to happen soon!)

It took you all day to do 20km? When I was your age, I used to run that in an hour, and then do the steps up and down my building (13 stories) 5 times to make sure I got some decent exercise. And depending on how hung over my workout buddy was, I might go do weights in the afternoon. And I had usually had 12-20 beers the night before!

So no sympathy from me, wimp

And Adam did all of that in the blinding snow. Into the wind. Both ways.

I'm with Adam Smith . I hope you were carrying at least 1 moose over your shoulder to tire you out!

In two of the last three virtual DOs, an attendee got their status upgraded live on Zoom to AC E50 / Star Alliance Gold thru 12/31/21 by a friend. Not quite in person Dorian DO level SWAG, but still cool.

As the October 31th date looms, there is always a chance it may happen again.

I feel pretty swagged out right now - thanks again to my favourite kind of cargo! Can't wait to repay you at an in-person Do!
