Went out to get on the VDB list and it's only over by 1. :rolleyes: I also mentioned I understand these flights sometimes encounter weight restrictions and it's a fairly warm day :D

Off to shower and such. Wedding tonight along with the typical demand for the house car should mean a good night for extinguishing of debt. Later, all.

Sounds like June weekends are a good time to be Copa.

:D Once in a while it's good to be me.

May is the record holder for cash intake, and it'll be hard to top that. But the third of the four debt payoffs will be done within two weeks. ^^

Edit: I would have to pull in $528 over the next three shifts to match June. Can't see that happening.

Afternoon, Box.

Just finished my weekend project - hacking a couple of pieces from IKEA + some MDF + fabric into a changing table for Baby 2.0.

Pro tip - if you're ever sawing MDF, splurge and get a 60-tooth blade for your circular saw. Cuts are about as clean as you can possibly get.

Need to spend a couple hours this afternoon continuing to load the new laptop from the old laptop (maybe there are way to automate that, but there's a cleanup aspect to doing it selectively).

But I have a tangentially related question: If logged in to FT (using updated Firefox), no images appear; just the link lines. Logged off, those appear as images. Does anyone know if there is a setting or plugin that is improperly configured or missing?

Edit: Nevermind - misread post.

Ha. I just did my Tim Taylor/Binford "More Power" imitation with a jig saw. I need to replace a trim board that has rotted out. I was hoping the painter would say "Want me to replace this for $50?". He didn't, and in the process of painting broke some of the board off, so I decided to replace it with Tuf Board. Cool stuff, cuts easily with a jig saw which is a good thing since I had to cut semi-circles on each end to fit around the patio supports. I'm just going to let the area dry out a couple of days before I seal it all up.

In the "Edit Options" of My Flyertalk there's a check box for 'Show images".

I saw my dr. Thursday who advised me not to fly on Friday (both ears were badly infected); I changed the flight from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and made it through okay, but I should have taken her advise. I believe I left my bose headphones and Ipod in the seat back pocket (with 2 drink coupons in it to boot). Who knows if I'll get that back. It does have my card in it as well as the ipod is engraved but . . .

Then I left my purse in the concierge lounge last night; got it back; all appears to be there except my sim card is missing from my phone so not able to use it.

Sigh. I should have stayed home and in bed!

Wilco. Thanks a ton!

Yep! ^

Only made flight because of number of individuals under age of 12 (FAA-assumed mass). Yes, that close to a VDB ...

What a thug. Take the hardware, if you have to; just leave me the disk, not the other way around.

That sucks. Hope you get the other stuff back.

Heading over to a bar in GLA. I OD'd on scenery this weekend and now it is time to catch up on the single malts with Henry III. :D
