I liked the first book better for some reason... Couldn't really put my finger on why.

Yawn....Good Morning Box.

Yes the sky has opened up and I have started to float the Ark. I have an inch of standing water surrounding my house this morning and more is falling out of the sky. :eek: And this isn't the worst storm, that's coming tomorrow.

My daughter's first day at college has been canceled due to a power outage.

On a brighter note, I earned 1.25 hours of overtime last night. And not a single bag was delayed, except for some poor guy that flew in from Lagos and two re-routes from AA. ^

I believe sfogate has agreed to meet up with me, Hartmann and ALCO on Saturday evening. Scott6067 mentioned that he would be in the area and could try and meet up as well. You're more than welcome!

Also in SFO that weekend on the cheap DCA-SFO fares. Fri-Sun.
What flights are you on?

Note the Marriott's are also cheap that weekend - the Courtyard is at $79 - other FS Marriotts are in the low $100 range.

I do not believe it was a mistake - I think it was a match.

I'm thinking about re-reading the first one after I finish the new one. It's been a few years. I'm looking forward to the new one because it covers two topics that I have particular interest in: the debunking of global warming, and the idea that cancer treatment is a financial scam.

I think Scott6067 had the same issue on his outbound flights... It's likely a bug as all LH segments (at least the TATL ones) should post as 100%.

I believe that in the booking it showed at 100%. In fact, I just tried booking again and it shows as 100%. Time to call the OPSC!!

ALCO, the LM in SFO has a prepaid rate of $119/night that Hartmann and I both picked up. While I could potentially see a Starpick rate of maybe $109, I figured $119 is still a pretty good deal there.

So yall are staying over that Saturday? I get in Friday and Leave out Monday. Ifg anyone needs a place to crash let me know!


I made it home finally at 1:30 this morning!! After driving home in Fog from OKC for 1.5 hours. I meet someone at the airport last night and had a good conversation with them but also missed out on VDB! The irony of the VDB is the person that took it was a guy from the fraternity house that I worked at and was going to try and upgrade. Of course I almost missed the flight as well. OPPS!!

Congrats - that's about all the catching up on the Box I'm going to do this morning.

Lots more writing and such to do. And looking at the market, double-shorting oil early last week was one of my better ideas.

Scott6067 Jan 19, 2010 9:34 am

The weekend specials are really looking good. If only I had the descreationary income to go!

Trustguy Jan 19, 2010 9:34 am

Good morning all. It's not raining here yet, but it is surely coming soon.

Good grief! I was home by around 05:00pm, and sound asleep by 09:00pm. :D

The only decent things I'm seeing for me is AA to ORD and DL to DFW. If only UA/CO would match...

So roof change order just added 1800.00 to cost of repair-dammmmmmmmmmmmmn

in 1960 when the house was built, 1x6 was used as sheathing material and the thought of staggering the seams I guess had not been heard of and butting the sides flush must have cost extra back then. There are many places where the gaps are +2".
In addition nails with gripper grooves at the bottom had I guess not been invented.

New POA is to cover the 1x6 with 1/2"ply but that's going to require some extra bracing of the roof rafters(2x4 connecting the ridge line on every member as opposed to the 1 by that is now on every other one)


stay tuned to this b:rolleyes:x channel for further breaking updates
