+1 :p

That $484 LAX-GIG trip is tempting me. I need to visit a buddy in LAX anyways and it seems like Rio wouldn't be so bad as a side trip for a day.

Sounds good. Can you guest in a 7 month old? Remember, I am a full time nanny as well as a father... for now.

Houston has broken a record.. old record 99 degrees F. Today we hit 101 degrees F. :rolleyes:

This Houston forecast is really :rolleyes:

I haven't checked, but I assume it is a straight IAH routing only, right?

3 scenarios may play out:

They recognize both are severely undervalued and maintain the operations and then sell them off in a stronger market and pocket the difference.
They're creating a new airline (just what the :rolleyes: ordered).
They are bat $h!t crazy.

Popcorn, table 1. :D

Midwest is just a name now they just have capacity purchase agreements.

The center of the Festering Pit used to be a ghost-town in the 80's. No one would be caught dead Downtown after 05:00pm.

YES, the exception of the theater district.

No matter what a person puts on their vanity plate, it always says :rolleyes:.

It is WAY hot here today in Fort Worth. So hot, in fact, that I'm going to look for some cold beer.

BBIAB.

Heh, I had to do a double take. A buddy of mine whom I got into ham radio with is N5DUX (vanity).

It does; the inspections were $28.75 for her car and $29.75 for my truck. The rest was TxDOT.

Mackieman, did you get the newly issued license plate design?

I don't know if I get the new design or not. The generic plates we were handed prior to filling out the personalized plate paperwork were the standard issue that Texas has been using for years. If I remember I will update once the plates come in about two weeks from now.

We also went and got drivers licenses today. Luckily my old Texas license was still active so I simply renewed it and I get to keep the old number. Apparently there is a huge backup since they changed to the new license design so it will take eight weeks to get the hard copies. Sounds almost like something California would do. :rolleyes:

I have a great surgery to recommend, just in case you have a little accident. :D
