Wife's flight went MX in CVG. I'm really annoyed with DL now.

On the plus side, the A PC was incredibly pleasant this morning. I wasable to stop in for some calm and a bagel before making my way to the train.

Sounds like DLs fleet is a real winner!

Morning, Box. Quite the thunderstorm we had last night here in central Jersey.

if it had been me: to the guy in the maroon Avalon, who just blew me off the road and into the ditch, I need new clothes, I have mud and muck all over mine and I doubt it will come out.

I made it to here in record time, average over 85mph.

:eek:

Good day Box.

Have Mamma Mia on HBO in the background. Pierce Brosnan cannot sing worth crap as were all the other male cast members. What were they thinking when casting the movie?

Agree. But you have to admit it was entertaining watching them sing. And, to be honest, I give them credit for having the ba!!s to do it, knowing they can't sing to save their lives!!

Awesome steaks and incredible cheeses.
Homemade guacamole.
Beer.
Finding out that beer is not allowed at Mustang Island State Park — and the fine is $500.
Shopping at HEB for things that we ended up leaving in the HGI for one of the maids. Hope she enjoys two unopened loaves of Mrs. Baird's, and a couple of packages of HEB flour tortillas, as well as the remnants of a few six packs of Modelo.
Tragic people at the beach.
Hot people at the beach.
ALCO molesting J.Edward in the front seat of a rented Honda CRV (and pics taken to prove it).
Sunburn.
Watching multiple cars getting stuck in the sand at the beach, followed by a couple of our own cars getting stuck.
Certain Box members getting really, really, really drunk and then doing things in the ocean that should not be mentioned here.
Renting The World's Most Awesome™ Rental Car, a craptastic Grand Prix from Avis that had well over 30,000 miles on it, and a smell inside that was described as "grandma's douche bag."
A certain Box founder relieving himself not once, not twice, not three times, but four times in a couple of hours in various parking lots next to said World's Most Awesome™ Rental Car.
Great baseball game at Whataburger Field.
Whataburger — multiple times.
Someone forgetting his ID, then being threatened with arrest, a phone call to the TABC, and being tossed out of the ballpark for having a beer with no ID — and the person this happened to was a good 5-10 years older than the kid threatening him.
Trying to break into the pool at the HGI after hours using the key from The World's Most Awesome™ Rental Car. This resulted in the key that that car becoming nearly unusable for starting the car.
Watching high class TV like Cheaters while drinking beer, after being locked out of the pool at the HGI. And witnessing a woman take her obese "whole lot of man love" to an all you can eat pizza buffet on a date.
Two Box members sharing a bed at the HGI, after a day of much drunkenness. Not going to speculate what happened there… They shall remain nameless, but one is named after a zoo animal and the other is about to move across the country.
Finding Dublin Dr. Pepper, made with pure Imperial brand cane sugar, in 20 oz. bottles at a convenience store in Goliad, TX.
Flying VCT-IAH, and realizing that ALCO and I doubled CO's passenger load on the flight to four passengers.

Sounds like quite the weekend. Beats mine!

I believe that it is an OH plane this morning, not DL mainline. And last night was due to the weather, not MX. Really just annoying more than anything else. Plus, her boss is out of town this week and she is covering so her not being in the office is not a good thing. It is going to drive her crazy.

Listening to the LiveATC feed of KOSH is actually making me wish I had gone to Oshkosh this week.

There's something that can only be said one weekend of the year ...

So true!

Listening to this guy and all of the planes he is bringing in is quite impressive. Can't wait for the A380 later this afternoon...

Is this the netbook model of choice in the Box?

I had the smaller version, not the 10 inch screen, and I think everyone else here who has the 8 inch, my friend at work just got the 11.6 hd screen Acer 7051h for $349.

Coins arrived today , I just took out a roll of $25 Andrew Jackson's and will be going dowstairs to get breakfast at the cafe.

I have the 9" model. The larger screen is heavier and uses more power to operate, and it is the same 1024x600 resolution. Until they get a higher rez option I'm not going for a bigger screen.

As for the 11" model, that's not a NetBook. It is a laptop. Too big.
