Did someone just use the words "good" and "morning" in the same sentence?

successful IROPS rebooking via FlyDelta app
DL1547, 1630 LAX-SEA departure this afternoon
I got the standard “Your flight is departing from Gate 35” message at T-3 hrs; then at about T-2:59 came the “Your flight is delayed” notification (55 min) ... per FR24 and FlightAware, the inbound jet showed as operating on time, and there wasn’t an advertised hold on departures inbound to SEA, so I’m guessing it was a crew issue
I’m working out of an El Segundo office, so it’s maybe 40 min at most to pack up the laptop, return the rental car, take the shuttle bus to the terminal, and get thru TSA Pre
knowing there was a 1455 flight, I scrambled right away ... while waiting for the Avis shuttle I clicked the “View Alternate Flights” option and saw that the 1455 jet only had a couple of middle C+ seats ... the 1855 (which I’d SDCd off of yesterday) and 2015 were both available in F, as were connections via SLC (lv 1825 ar 2330) and PDX (lv 1525 ar 2005); there may also have been a SFO option (lv 1500 ar 2030)
checked FR24 and FlightAware to make sure both PDX jets were on schedule, clicked “Select this flight”, got a “These flights will be confirmed and no additional charges will be billed” message, clicked “OK”, and saw BPs almost immediately
currently enjoying my Woodford while boarding finishes up @ PDX
