Thanks for the updates everyone. Crazy day. I was running around like a crazy person once the PWP thread closed. I'm surprised I didn't blow the transmission on my car the way I was driving around zipping from one place to another in a rush.

YouTube annoying me. I can't upload my new mash video called Rage and Anger that's put to hip-hop. At least I fixed the aspect ratio on the previous one.

I think it might be one of two things, ALCO's 10K post put the bugaboo in people's heads about milestone posts, and/or the PWP 1.0 turned something on in people to get the posty posts out. :-:

Probably PWP 1.0 and an infatuation with post counts. :-:

I had posted a few times, but I became really active around this time here. I am trying to find my first post in the box :D FT search is sucky.

FRA-PHL: 3,949 x 1.5 = 5923

1397+5782+15000+5923 = 28,102 EQM/RDM

Am I somewhat close?

If you do CO for ORD-EWR, don't forget DEQM.

Just got back from Orange County to discover that our very own ConciergeMike won the ticket to the Star Mega-Do.

:-::-::-::-::-:F A N T A S T I C :-::-::-::-::-:

That is so amazingly brilliant news. I am ecstatic for you, CM. Couldn't have gone to a greater guy...


ok, ok, I know there are others who are just as great, but I am just so happy for CM. :D

Viva la Box!

40 yr old pipes. 2" inch main lines and 2 hours using 3 sizes of snakes later, my sinks are empty and so is my wallet. Original quote was $298 but I was only charged $198. Didn't have too much choice since I wanted empty sinks tonight.

FTLurker - sorry you didn't win the Star Mega-Do. But, aren't we all happy that our very own ConciergeMike won!!!!!


I do feel a little bad for poor old ArizonaGuy though. He so badly wanted to win, and posted his little heart out. He's a great guy. He needs to come and join the Box.

I am very happy CM won, although I am still pouting that I didn't. :D

I know. I'm glad I could find somebody willing to make the call.
