BTW midcon CO breakfast rocks NW/DLs dried up 'bagel' and cereal.

I didn't even eat that dinner, it was a rock hard roll with turkey and swiss, I am going to get some good food now :D

Wow...50 minutes of dead air in the Box. Strange.

I'm thinking I need to duck out of work early today. There are no users here and I'm ridiculously bored.

In other news, Charlie makes really strong Caipirinhas.

LOL :)

Yes. Yes it is. :)

Perhaps he was refering to your experience on the DFW-IAH flight with the FA ;)

Those are always good, even if you are just there for the evening before going home :)

Leave, it is 5 o clock somewhere or 8 pm somewhere!

The first five days of the work week are now over. Just two more weeks and the week will be over and the next week of work will start.

Went to the doc this week for physical and he says all blood work is good except my good cholestral is low. I ask how I can help it and he says exercise and/or red wine. I went right to the wine bar after that for two glasses and another glass tonight. :)

No suite upgrade tonight at the W New York The Court. But, considering all that's going on in NYC right now, and how sold out everything is, I'm not too shocked. At least we were upgraded out of the original room to a larger one.

Having Tail Numbers is preferred, but not a prerequisite. If ssullivan gets drunk and OCD enough, he might even fire up BTS.gov and add in some of your tail numbers after the fact.

In that case, I shall add my flights this year. More is, after all, more.

Try UA's domestic C in their three-class config (e.g. LAX-IAD 777). Fruit plate with cold croissant. Serious :rolleyes:.

Further alignment with CO (on EWR - FL routes). :rolleyes::o;)

I'm pleased to report that the treadmill that's been broken at the hotel in ABQ I stay at is still broken. He!! has not frozen over. I first reported its condition a solid 18 months ago. Thankfully there's a second one so it's not a big deal, but the broken one is a safety hazard.

When I notified the front desk tonight they pulled out their log book and sure enough, I'm the only one that's ever notified them of it (and had it documented). I asked if I was the only one to use the gym and the answer I got was basically a yes.

Now, if you'll need me, I'll be in the overweight seat-mate thread. :rolleyes:

It poured with rain all day when we moved into our rental last year.

I hope it doesn't rain when we move into our new house - once it's built - how come these things take twice as long as estimated? Oh yes! I know! Indecisiveness, fear of plonking down massive sums of money and then regretting design choices, the economy, and whatever other excuse we can come up with.

Plans are now finished, oil tank removed, gas line dug up, electricity disconnected, water line out and permits requests in with the town. Should be able to demolish the existing house soon, and begin the build. Yeah!

I think it was monsoon season when I moved to IAHland. sdm1130, hoping for a break in the weather for you.
