I see you were able to find caffeine free coke made w/ sugar instead of HFCS. Sounds like you picked up some Passover coke.^

Any bets on whether or not 787 deliveries will be pushed to Q1 2011?

How do you get Teflon to stick to a pan when nothing sticks to Teflon?

It sounds like the test program is moving along well, but I'd say Q1 2011 is pretty much a given on deliveries.

That's what I was thinking, but there were several stories floating around today saying that they've run into a few technical hurdles (in a new airplane? You don't say!) and that may impact their ability to get the FAA type certification. That may be a different issue than the manufacturing problems.

Crimony. I even go look up stuff and still get it wrong. You're right, I quit. Confusing people ain't gonna help anyone.

I hadn't heard anything about the new technical hurdles, but I also haven't payed very close attention over the past few days. I can't say I'd even be surprised if they hit more road blocks that pushed deliveries further in to 2011.

They did successfully complete the wing bed test this past weekend. It's always fun to see pictures of that test. Sadly, they didn't break the wing like they did with the 777.

Apparently Red Roof Inn is giving away 1% of its rooms for a penny. Only problem: you actually have to stay at a Red Roof Inn.

Yeah, it was still impressive. I'm hoping they'll release video after the program is complete.

Panamanian officials report sightings of a rare Otter, over this past weekend
The Otter was spotted in the wild and is not a native to local waterways.
Otters are noted for their consumption of local grain based products and steely ways.
Local Officials feel that Teh Otter poses no dangers to shipping traffic transiting Teh Canal but will keep a close eye on neighboring areas.

Is that filed under Olton Hall's pictures of people taking pictures?

Apparently the 787 wing test video has been leaked posted by Boeing, and they did push it until it broke like the 777: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA9Kato1CxA
