Yikes! Its the only decent place near my office that I can get in & out of at noon in a decent amount of time on a weekday.

Sigh.

Rachael Ray highlighted my favorite restaurant in BNA.

I'm bored. And tired. Client wore me out today.

Those didn't last long. Not that I wanted them. My airline is CRJ free.

I'm just waiting for my massive order of L-1011-500s and 762-ERs to arrive in the next few hours. And I need to finish scheduling yesterday's deliveries of assorted Fokkers and BAE-146-300s.

Same here! Between issues with the customer and my IT group royally p!ssing me off (trying to tell me that I intentionally abuse my laptop... hello, if that's the case, how would I access FT?), I'm ready to call-in-sick tomorrow and go drinking instead.

Yeah I am trying to get rid of my CRJs as well.

You really just want to return to Help as soon as possible.

You clearly know my motives. :)

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

Yes as there won't be a GRU-GIG flight once the IAH-GIG flight is introduced. I would be up for visiting GRU as well.

My Reliant bill sucked last month; I dred the next one.

If I can get the 5 year multi-entry then it is worthwhile. I just don't know that it can be guaranteed so I'm teetering. I know I'm going to go back down there with my wife at some point in the next few years and paying for it now is just as good as paying for it later.

Go to the consulate in nyc to get your visa and ask for a five year. That is all I did and got one, the day before my departure no less.

Agreed, and that is my biggest doubt about the old one becoming a President's Club, I don't think CO would want their name on that one unless it was expanded at least 50%, of course the furnishings would be redone with a new club anyway. Even expanded 50% the club would still be tiny, smaller than most any other, and smaller than the IAH A PC which people already complain about(I personally like it).

I like the A club fine. At least there's a club there.

sounds like a good deal but I wasn't in the mood for something sweet tonight......plus the company's paying. :D

I would have gone out for some choice Portsmouth,NH seafood but I'm too tired after realizing I forgot to pack underwear :rolleyes: and having to hit a WalMart for 'supplies'. That explains why, as a boxer, my posts tonight are so brief.....get it?!?! :p

Very punny! I had Domino's with a friend Fri night and I was surprised how good it tasted; or else I was very hungry.

Sure, why not? I'll be in Houston around 7:00 PM Monday. Leaving Thursday immediately after work. Will be in Huntsville but quite happy to make the quick drive down 45 on Tuesday or Wednesday night. Anyone else up for it?

Wish I could make it; I'll be on the beach at HHH.

Had a nice time with my dad tonight. Lousy service at the Mexican restaurant we go to often, but he enjoyed it. Then took him shopping to Target; big night, big night. I invited him to come on Thurs. and he is excited. For those of you going, he will repeat the same thing over and over and ask the same question over and over. I get creative and answer differently; keeps the boredom out of the conversation.

In Texas, I'm still missing VCT, CLL, LRD, BRO, HRL, GGG, ACT, GRK, and SPS. I should be able to pick up CLL easily in the near future when working in Huntsville, TX though.

Unless you are one of the following, there is no earthly or in any other way valid reason to put SPS on your FM map:

A recently graduated USAF Basic Trainee
A midcareer USAF enlisted man/woman going back to Sheppard for an intermediate school, or a newly minted fighter pilot from any of the member countries of ENJJPT.
One who would stalk Eddie "The Thrill" Hill
Completely and utterly suicidal.

I like that new passport inside cover. It's a little gaudy, yeah, but I do enjoy looking at it.

My boss is wearing me out slightly. My mother is a client of the company I started working for, and it's taken me two days and counting to get him to forward me the details of her contract with the company. It's not like he's hesitating because it's my mother -- my mother asked me because I'm her sales rep. :rolleyes:

The old plate (the one that's still on my car… I've been bad about getting it re-registered in Georgia) was far more reprsentative of the diversity of the state, featuring images of cities, the star-filled West Texas sky, a cowboy, and even a space shuttle. The new one, based on a West Texas sunset, represents only one aspect of the state, and was one of the least attractive choices.

I guess I must have an ancient plate, it is almost color free, white background, blue text and I think TEXAS in red....I like it, nice and BASIC.

GRK is a nice small airport with a lot of facility for the traffic. You should visit one day :)
ACT....is small and not many flights, I tried flying out of there one time and it was way too costly.

3 CR1ERs up for sale.
