And a few hours at Eppley / NetJets, drinking fine Coca-Cola products.

Between NetJets, the Strategic Air Command Museum, and crossing the border into Iowa to play golf, this sounds like it could be quite the interesting weekend were it to come to pass.

Not an even number at all - the commission on a transaction would be a bit higher than the $7 (or similar) that one would expect from their brokerage ;)

Thanks! I'm enjoying my last hour and 17 minutes of debauchery ;) This is the only surgery I've ever had where I wasn't told no alcohol before surgery. I heart my dr ;) Free Wifi so am packing my laptop to be boxing. Good night box!

Definite best of luck. And there have been times I've remarkably needed few drugs when I had an expectation of using a lot more (especially issues that have been consistently painful).

Did I mention fine Coca-Cola products and Dilly Bars at 7:30 a.m.?

I don't think so. My mother is from Tilden.

I think I've mentioned (or alluded to) my refusal to purchase or drink Pepsi products in the past.

I also think it's worth mentioning that the OMA Convention Center is filled with all Berkshire subsidiaries selling their very cool and fascinating products during the Annual Meeting. Except the actual NetJets - have to drive to see those.

Mine was pretty pedestrian, but then they gave me a new Pantech card, and it brought it up *almost* to streaming video speed in big metro areas. I, too, prefer it to hotel wifi. Coverage is still a little spotty outside the big towns, though.

I can do the inflection on all three of those (but "Not - even ..." is harder for me).

I forgot SAC.

Better courses would be:

I watch hulu all the time from my sprint card. I blow past the current 5GB limit on users, every month....however my card is missing since i went to SFO. I am tearing my house apart looking for it now.

I am certain I did not leave it in the pclub at SFO, but not sure where it can be! I have the U727 model card, with the latest firmware it allows GPS mode without a data connection working. ^ That GPS works better than any GPS I have ever used, it can lock on 12+ sats almost all the time.

One of these days I'm gonna get up to Udvar-Hazy.

I've needed remarkably more drugs ;) It's called the "red head factor" and there is actually a study backing that up (it was never my quote). For some reason, redheads need more anesthesia than others. I thought it just made me more tempermental. I appreciate the good wishes and all will go well. Doc thinks I should be off crutches in 6 weeks which means just in time to hit Asia with Plus1 (fuzzy math, but close enough) if I do what I'm told. Plus1 is golfing for me in the CO golf tourney though I felt my short game could still carry our team :cool:

Post that made my day - in reference to the Gold Spike in Downtown Las Vegas.

Also not a bad idea. Too bad WN's schedule doesn't go out that far yet. Hopefully they stay lower than everyone else when they extend the schedule horizon. PHL-DEN/MDW-OMA would be a nice FM line to have.

I would very much like to get a pair of Justin boots; I've always liked their stuff. I once had a chance to buy at wholesale and lost the guy's business card. :rolleyes:

The bottom two look good, but I picked the one I did so I could be one of the cool kids in Teh Box that has Iowa crossed off their list. ;) :D Good luck tomorrow.
