I'd like to have to make that shopping trip.^

I was given great advise at boxbowl; to use the brita filter or similar to "purify" the not to great vodka ^

Did some exercises in the pool today. I feel oh so much better! The pool was pretty much like Caddieshack when the caddies took over the pool on caddie day. One guy was smoking a cigarette IN THE POOL!!!!!!:mad::rolleyes:

I think swimming is the most enjoyable exercise and especially good when you need to work out aches and pains^ Hope you got some wave therapy from the caddies:p

As a thank you for being in the first group to sample the new Chick-Fil-A sandwich, Chick-Fil-A gave me a coupon for another free sandwich. I like this form of customer commitment ;)

Same kind or choice?

You can search for upgradable seats on co.com to see if there is inventory. There is a check-box on the advanced search screen. That's generally easier than calling in and asking for the upgrade. Also, once waitlisted things should be pretty automatic, though there is a recent thread out there about someone who wasn't cleared when the inventory opened up.

I'm not sure if there is any relation, but I have found that when I see Z inventory available on your multibucket query tool, I am able to get B-Up or M-Up tickets. Used it just today when Dad and I were booking our vacation. Saw a segment of CO957 from KSA to PNI had Z1 available. I booked my ticket first and got the B-Up. Then logged back in as Dad and booked his ticket, and no B-Up for him. At least it's only an hour flight.

I also notice in the multibucket tool that NRT-IAH is Z0, and of course we're mileage waitlisted on that flight. I know Z is supposedly != R, but who knows?

M/B-Ups are different. They come from a subset of Z so that makes sense.

Z most definitely is not the same as R.

Nope. It will filter the vodka. Whether you can tell or not has something to do with how much you've consumed and how sensitive a palate you have, but it will definitely filter the vodka.

There is at least one FTer who is a member. They play the "other" course, not the tournament course, but they say it is still a good time. I've tried to arrange to meet them on one of my trips down there - and to play a round - but the timing didn't work out last time.

thank you for calling. Your hold time will be approximately 20 minutes :rolleyes:

At PTY PC now. Got my upgrade on the PTY-JFK portion, so its good :cool:

I think I will try this run to EZE on copa again. The only portion I did not upgrade was EZE - PTY. All other 3 portions I got up front :D

Can you do a stop in PTY for free? Would be nice to break up the next trip.

Evening Box!

Awaiting an awesome storm here - it is very dark and the wind is crazy. We could use the rain to water all the stuff we planted all weekend.

I chipped one of my front teeth today (drinking beer :rolleyes:) - so a trip to the dentist tomorrow is already on the books.

We are spending next weekend in SAT - any suggestions?
