Not sure if impressive is the word I'd use. :o



My average weekly spend on air travel is about $800/week. Sadly, CO is being rather :rolleyes: lately and I've been finding myself on US and UA lately.

With that being said, I should have Plat wrapped up by early summer. Pres. Plat. is tantalizingly close, but being gone for three weeks on my honeymoon this summer is going to put a big damper on my (paid) travel.

Speaking of travel, I was sensing the impending :rolleyes: so I just spent the past few minutes updating my FM.

The way things turned out, I'm glad my year was front loaded. With my new role at work, beginning in April 95% of my travel will be domestic, and since I will be working on a roll out with a set schedule, I'll be purchasing more non-refundable fares. :td:

I forgot about the golf part. Then we were all sent to the naughty corner to think about what we did.

I'm going to do a self movie about my May MR. It will start at home and move through out the trip. I have 3 months to worry about it.

No wonder I never see you around town your FM is very impressive!

+1 when it comes to Costco. Saturday evening, I went just to get their rotisserie chicken. I think their chicken has some type of addicting drug to it.

No I am replacing the tires. But the guy keeps coming out every 5 minutes with something new. It is just pissing me off.

Tell them precisely what you're going to repair.

Aloha stranger. :-:

Yeah, I've taken to leasing out my domicile to Canadian immigrants who are fleeing their unusually warm winter for a "real" winter and have been spending all my time in random locations. Greetings from :rolleyes:ville.

Did the axe drop for you on 304? I was thinking about you when I read about the :rolleyes:.

Gee?? Who might you be talking about??

As I don't eat chicken thighs, I've been able to avoid the rotisserie chicken.

I miss my weekly transcon runs. With any luck i'll hit by the end of the year, but we'll see what transpires.

I'm in CLT right now.

I'm sure CM could help you write it ;)

Buenas noches, Box. Gotta run. I predict a gazillion pages to catch up in the morning.:D

icurhere2 is living a nice life - cheap beer and on-sale corned beef brisket (cooked yesterday but I refrigerate and eat as cold medallions) ^

Just about. Was offered a job but passed so now I have a USB attached to my head and will probably be around for a few more months. 72 more PR people will be announced any day in LoHud.

Did get to France before it got cold and wet though.
