735's, oh how I hate thee.

This flight is packed with college chotches going to Mexico and Central America for spring break with way too many carryons.

Haha. I don't totally hate the 735, but it does drive me nuts if I'm in F and not one of the first few people to board, when my carry on bag won't fit in the overheads because they're totally full.

Here is a suggestion for you. Buy a 5 lb package of bacon. Go home and turn on your oven. Layout two trays of bacon and bake off at 325 or 350 degrees. While the bacon is cooking you can work on catching up on the box. When you start to smell bacon it is done. Repeat this process until the bacon is cooked to your liking in the oven. Once all the bacon is cooked, let it cool and then take a plastic storage bag and put all the cooled bacon in the bag and place in the freezer.

Then on the mornings, afternoons, evenings that you want bacon, take out the amount you want and microwave for about 1 minute. This make bacon easy to make and also a one time clean up method. Also the bacon is loaded with extra slat and more chemicals that come in the pre-cooked and shelf stable versions. :D

I just tried a Shipley's donut for the first time and I must say that I was very disappointed, given all the hype in the Box.

Some interesting spotting on the run... I saw an Air Transit DC-8 at BWI and one of the NW A320s in Delta c/s at IAH.

Box BBQ DO - Big Ed's - March 7 @ 6:30pm
 
For those going to Box BBQ D:rolleyes:, I'll give them the name Team Rolleyes when I call later to warn them we are coming. My guess is that they'll stick us at one of the tables in the room you first walk into. It's my least favorite room in the place, but it's also got the biggest tables.

See y'all there. :rolleyes:

There are a few big (DC-10??) birds for World Airways at BWI. Head around the corner from the CO gates over to the food court where the Quiznos is and look out those big windows. There were 3 there last week.

I saw the DL 744 at NRT yesterday. Good times.

Would 5 lbs. allow enough time to catch up on the box? :rolleyes: I think I will have to try doing this.

It's college kids going to a sunny place. Swim suit, a couple of t-shirt (ladies may need a couple of extra white ones) shorts, sun screen. That's fits in a back pack for a week's worth of travel.
