My 620 is still going strong. I was going to change out the hard drive for a solid state drive, but just can't justify the cost.

Hope the rest of her/your day went better!:D

May be painted that way or Google's way of obscuring logos - the size and shape (and nacelles) of the black ones look a lot like 737-200s.

Does Google really obscure stuff like that? On some it appears that the black is only on the tails and is a shadow. The black on the ones at the bottom is interesting. I guess the red ones might be NW aircraft...

Mine probably has some hardware component on the verge of failure - the speed of my netbook and the 630 both blow away the 620.

It could also be the difference between a several-year-old Wind:rolleyes:ze installation filled with bloat and a fresh one...

PDX light-rail is nice. Very similar to MSP. Should be at the bar to meet the other part of the FT contingent here in no time at all. ^

Little bit of investigating and overlaying images:

The black ones appear to be US 737s, the red are NW 747s, and "blue" from Google Earth is ambiguous or non-contemporaneous.

BBM sent to fiancee:

Barack Obama called - he is jealous of you all's ability to lock yourselves in a room and accomplish nothing for hours on end. He wants all three of you to run for Congress.

BBM sent to CMike from future Mrs. CMike.
Change has come, enjoy the couch and or doghouse.

Neither. Apparently all is well and they are past their creative obstacles and well into execution. At least that's what I was told on the drive home.

Chance the Gardener is one of my heroes.

Along with Pa Kettle. Think about it for a minute: Never worked a day in his life; obviously had a great sex life (too many kids to remember all their names); had a full time staff (those native Americans, somebody and Crowbar); and kept falling into stuff (trips, winnings, the lot).;)

What's not to aspire to?

Found Pinal Airfield on Google Maps. Very interesting. If anyone wants to see the military equivalent, check out Davis-Monthan AFB, the AMARC. Aircraft Maintenance and Regeneration Center, IIRC. Better known as "The Boneyard".

Night, Box.
