Yeah, painfully true. I have a dented fender that I would try to replace myself...got the replacement fender and everything. I think I see the bolt that holds that on, but with my luck when it comes to things mechanical, that bolt is probably the one that keeps the front suspension attached or something like that. Let's just say that I'm not the most mechanically inclined of people...but yet the Air Force found me suitably intelligent to build bombs. For those that don't know, conventional, laser-guided, and those fancy new GPS bombs have lots of bolts involved in their construction. The tail of a 500-pound dumb bomb is attached to the bomb body with 12 bolts...that's your useless explosive knowledge tidbit of the day.

My first car had a rock fly under the car and ping a hole into the muffler. I didn't think too much of it until the hole rusted and basically ate the bottom half of the muffler. My car sounded like a diesel boat for a few weeks.

Where is that quote from? Oddly when I try to quote you it gives a link to an image and not the text I told it to quote. Whatever.

ETA: Where are the IAH-GIG flights? It would be fun to try to work one of those in.

Being that they just got approved, I don't think they've been loaded yet. It would be nice to get those worked in.

I'm torn if I go for the IAH-GIG line or the IAH-GRU-GIG line. Choices choices.

If you've not gone that far south, you might want to consider the creation of as many dots as possible.

Extra dots and lines are excellent for balancing out more sparsely visited portions of your map. Might I suggest "The Art of FlightMemory Feng Shui," by Rolle Yes.

Indeed. There's a few trips that I want to do that would create great lines without even being overly aerogeeky.

They just got tentative approval last week, so that's a good sign.

I hear EZE is the Paris of

I would love to go EZE, but it's not nearly as cheap.

I'm starting to do the every other week thing too, back to back running has been a bit exhausting and it doesn't make the gf too happy.

I have a weekend in June and possibly May I can do, so i may just jump on it then.

The visa fee isn't peachy, but I think the visa is good for five years which makes it a bit easier to swallow.

now if only you can work something about poop in there, we'd have 2 useless tidbits

replacing that fender really out to be straight forward-probably 4 bolts on top, maybe a couple under the car and 1 behind the headlight

Yeah, I think I'd like to add the EWR-GRU line. But the EWR-IAH-GRU routing gives one more miles. Maybe the EWR-GRU line needs to be saved for another time.

Bloody, amazon has it on backorder. Must be a popular book.

How much is the visa? (Yes, I'm being lazy...)
