Check your phone's settings. My company defaults it to ping the server every 10 min. I updated it to 2.

I also find my data moves a lot faster during non-peak times (late night / weekends) when there's less users. I think this is a my company issue.

Congrats colpuck.

And your the one with the free tickets!

I'll be sure to pass along your kudos on the Cowboy Museum (aka National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Museum) to my uncle, who's the Education Director there.

I only got through about half of it due to time reasons but was very pleased.

Good Morning Box

Currently sitting at Champion Ford Gulf Freeway waiting for their service people to diagnose my truck.

They said that it would be a few minutes after they "put it up on the computer".

It has been 35 minutes and I have things that I need to do....ahh..

Anyway, figured there is no better place than FT to kill time while I wait for FORD to do their thing.

dan

Did you get lost on the freeway or find that Champion Ford had better deals than places in Florida?

I got my fill of brownie, 3 in 24 hours :) one was not very good, WAY too dry. Others were quite good for a packaged brownie.

I enjoyed the DTW B Concourse Skyclub:

Yet another reason to push me to fly to DTW. I was looking at flights to the NYC Do and was looking to route through DTW to look at the clubs. Alas timing was an issue.

Congratulations!

I was about to post my list of not-visited states when it went down. My list:

Alaska
Arkansas
Iowa
Kansas (I've been to the Kansas City airport, but it's in Missouri)
Mississippi
Montana
Nebraska
North Dakota
Oklahoma
South Dakota

I've flown extensively over all of these states except Alaska.

Interesting list. It seems that many of us have many of the same states that we need to visit. Perhaps we need to schedule a FM/OF Do to get the states that we lack.

What phone do you have? I've never found such a setting on a BlackBerry for Enterprise e-mail and wireless sync.

I don't think such a setting exists for BES, only for BIS.

That's what I was thinking too.

According to AGR, retro points are supposed to take two days to post. I waited a month since DC and called just now - CSR did it no problem.

Go out for a little sushi. EWR-NRT goes extensively over Alaska; more so if Russian airspace is not used.

Anyone up for hitting a cruise out of SAN later this year??

Just booked my car rental for Walvis Bay. Only manual vehicles were available. This should be fun. :D

Sorry -- lack of brains brings her quite far down the scale.

Somebody better keep an eye on the manifest. If Paul and Mary Bland book on, the police need to be called immediately. (cf 'Eating Raoul')

If CO sent me a schedule change that is a 4+ hour deviation, I should be able to change or cancel without penalty, no?
