There was nothing going on. I also had too do some cooking.

Guess everyone is flying or watching football.

I'm off to drive my son to his game. Nothing like getting to the field 2.5 hours before game time. Hopefully I can "sneak" in and save myself $9.00 :cool:

I'm got the heavy coat, the winter hat, gloves and a blanket. I think I'm set.

We got into the Keeneland Race Track for free at our recent Do.

Good luck. I hoping for a win for your son's team and he kicks the winning goal.

A very slow day in the box.

Very slow evening here in PC at IAH C South. There are about 10 of us in this place and it is as quiet as I have seen it in quite a while. Heading back to CLE in about an hour after spending Friday and Today working. Will get Sunday off and then on call for Thanksgiving week.

On another note, found out that UA does DEQMs differently than CO. Apparently, UA only doubles base miles and segments and then just adds the premium for full fare flights on to that total. So, for a single segment flight, if it is flown in F or Y, you get 2.5 segments after the doubling, not 3, since they will double your 1 segment to 2 and then add the .5 bonus to that.

So, you ask, why do you care. I had my travels with UA worked out to just make 30 segments for 2P status and it turns out that the devaluation of the bonus now leaves me 0.5 segments short of 2P :eek:
Now I may have to credit one of my CO flights coming up in the near future to UA to get that final segment. The good news is that I should be flying a few Kenjet segments where it will not matter who I credit the flight to.

Short by 0.5 segments has got to hurt.

I'm not surprised the PC is empty. Traffic was very light yesterday morning. It seems everyone when on vacation for turkey day already.

Mine's only 12 years old, 35 year shingles, not a single drip anywhere and then this year 4 different places. You'd think HO insurance would cover but has to be wind driven rain, so I don't know weather to rip a piece or two of some shingles off or not...........................

on the good news front, HP stays moved to next W\Sa nights at only $62

$62 a night is a very good rate - you're not doing multiple stays on the same night, are you? I've never tried that activity.
