According to sfogate’s Crystal Ball the CO retro jet will be at EWR Friday June 26 10am C-120. I have to drop my car off for service in the morning in Bloomfield and I think I will take a ride down to EWR. Anyone else going to stop by?

You won't be able to see it from landside so you'll have to be on the airside to see it.

We could hit 100 here in Houston. Yuck. The extended forecasts are calling for a change of weather pattern. We could have rain by next weekend.

Ugh! I'm spending this weekend moving furniture from MLU to SHV. Just got it all loaded up into the U-Haul at the storage center in MLU. It was already 94 by 11:00am. :rolleyes:

I can now say that GGG is the smallest domestic airport I have flown into. It is a smidge smaller than MLU. Also, the Admiral's Club at DFW is very nice. Nicer interior than the PCs, IMO.

Sorry to hear about your son, sfogate. Hope he recovers soon.

Looking at the satellite photos it looks like parking is great ^

Definitely +1. Hope it's not too painful.

I think the fiancee and I have reached a suitable agreement on wedding presents to each other. A visit to our jeweler to clean her ring confirmed this.

I'm down in Philly at the sci-fi and comic convention with a friend....pretty fun....lots of people in costume and a bunch of WWE wrestlers, some B-list celebs (Lou Ferrigno, etc.), and Edward James Olmos.

I wonder if the 50D will go down a few dollars now.

We had settled on a diamond circle pendant for her and a 40D with some accessories for me. Nothing got bought, but I'm always checking B&H's website and I maintain a wishlist there.

I read some reviews on the 50D that slammed how Canon boosted the sensor to get 15MP at the expense of IQ. It's not selling very well, either. I don't want to leave Canon, but I will if the 50D is their only prosumer option. I thought the 40D just about fit my needs perfectly, and I'm one of the five people left on the planet that does not want built-in video.

Sorry to hear it...tell him the occupants of The Box are pullin' for him!
