Funny I should have mentioned this - I just went to the EK forum and saw that their A345's will be flying DXB-SYD after 12/2/09. There's some FM pr0n.

When I went to the auto show a few years ago I folded myself in a Miata and took a picture. It was like a Go Kart :eek:

Thank you for not bringing the Civic on our PHL excursion. And I've been in the PAX seat of a fellow FT'ers Miata (which sucked getting out of ...).

I haven't forgotten about the idea of a Box Rifle/Machine Gun Do in LAS...it needs to be affordable and scheduled well and I'm in.

When I was the EAR Rotary President, a select member decided a nice farewell gift was a hunting license. He had done a presentation on hunting which was quite good but as someone who was a true vegetarian at the time, a bit much for me :) I was always a good sport and had the hunting license (which came with free hunting lessons) up on my board at work with pride. I found the humor in which it was intended.

The funny thing is, we have a lot of transplants from outside of the state and it becomes apparent when you go to a Cubs game (either that or there are a bunch of Houstonians who grew up watching the Cubs :rolleyes:)

I do find the Cubs games rather strange. The couple of times we've been down in the stands at those games, we've been surrounded by Cubbies.

Spent 45 minutes on hold with the SF police department to file a police report, only to be told that they no longer take them over the phone. Funny that's not what the hold message said. :rolleyes:

Then I spent 25 minutes holding for an online company to complain about a shoe return that they refused. I was told that it was refused because it's a sale item, never mind that the shoe has a major manufacture defect. I was authorized to return the shoes again, postage to be repaid IF they decide that it really is a defect. :rolleyes: So I get to repack the box, drive to the post office and send another $7.50 in postage to replace a $10.00 sale item. This company is so stupid....they are going to give me another shoe valued at $10, pay me $15 in postage. :rolleyes:

I believe you have a :rolleyes:tastic day :td: I hope it improved!

She just may be a keeper.

I was looking for the Pepsi Throwback for Hartmann (no luck) but found this (made with Imperial Sugar!)

Good night box!

I know you have a few inches of height on me, but I (shockingly) also fit in my father's 'Vette.

Oh, for kingalien...I almost forgot. The Boy Scouts are feeling the economic pinch apparently...stupid little Daisy BB guns today.

My cousin Gina, a total Jersey Girl with the huge hair and the accent had a Vette. I was able to fit into it no problem.

I had a Camaro when I was younger and you would not believe the legroom that car had. I also have a Mitsibishi Montero, which I need to keep the seat all the way back as well as my BMW 330. Car shopping is not fun. I don’t really fit comfortable in anything I can afford.

Night, Box.

I believe the local Kroger carries them. I'll have to check. Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't know the return date/time but did you look at booking one ways?



Yes but I once went 3/4 with VBDs on a single flight on WN from LAS over a half-year. Paid for one flight, got voucher which paid for next trip before getting another voucher that paid for next trip, then got another voucher which subsidized the next two trips, then got another voucher on the second of those two new trips ... Got five trips to LAS for about $250 in airfare.

Good work MAn!

It's not a problem unless you are in :rolleyes: Jersey.

I am just now tired enough to go to bed after working the 4-12 shift. I think I hate that shift more than the midnights. just about 2.5 months left of this until I go to CRAZY DAYS :rolleyes: nonstop nonsense for 8 hours a day.

Night B:rolleyes:x

There lies the problem, I've been back in :rolleyes: for a few days now.

So Box, what video from this past weekend (all non trains :rolleyes: ) should be the next video I upload on YouTube
Takeoff in the rain from EWR?
Landing at YVR?
or
BC Ferries' newest ferry leaving the dock at Vancouver Island?
