I spent the majority of my night eating meat products grilled by Mackieman & Steph3n, with wine brought by Monitor and great beer provided by ICURHERE2.

Major :D

Thanks to all.

I'm pretty sure that all Amtrak tix are fully refundable as long as you don't print them out.

That's been my experience; you can also refund them if a train is delayed more than x minutes (I think x IIRC is 60 mins, but don't remember exactly). There's a restriction for special accomodations too (e.g., Acela first or business in other trains accomodation is only refundable if canceled 1 hour before trainride)

If for some reason you print them out, you can still exchange them (for the full amount) or get a voucher (for the full amount) or refund them minus a 10% fee.

Good luck, mwg25 making it home & hope you feel better!

Sorry i did not get to your HD, in fact I totally forgot about it till driving home that you had brought it.....:td: to me for that one!

If you like sweet wines, Avocado sweet is a decent wine, surprisingly. Interested in what the Avocado dry tastes like for those that don't like the sweets.

Lychee from me gets a :td: as I am not THAT fond of lychee. some others liked it.
Passion Fruit, I like it that is all that matters to me :D


I don't know that we made it to the others.

I did NOT like the local red wine I brought, it was....earthy maybe? Vigoner is still there, enjoy(maybe or throw away, no skin off my back) wine isn't my thing anyway.

baby steaks...


I gave away 5 20+ oz very rare ribeye for take home. This was AFTER we'd all eaten.

I think we ate for 2 days non stop.

NBD. I'm pretty sure it may be toast. I'm going to keep it in storage. I'll find a new one to replace it. When I get a chance to see if it can be salvaged, I'll watch the movies/shows I had on there... then lose the HD. Maxtor = fail.

Thanks. I'm not especially tired, so I'm splitting my time between The Box, Airline Mogul, and my planning documents.

It was nice to meet your family tonight, I wish I'd spent more time inside visiting, but I put off the cooking to almost too late as it was.

I have spent a grand total of 5 min on AM in the last 4 days, I keep having a large bank account and buying planes...whenever I have time to get back to it i will have a large stash of airtime ready to fill.
