2.I worked with men all my life; that's why i look at you. still wondering.

3.Scope's trial. fanstastic reading for why there is a seperation of church and state. and why there should be attendance at both. we have lost our moral compass and political responsibility when we fail to show up.

4. perfect words for any lecturer. why he would be asked back is beyond me. lack of respect and confidence.

hiya sweetie! wondering what would be in a drink called "scottonthebeach". something warm and fuzzy, with that odd zing like throwing a shovel through a window, at the end.

got a call for film crew security in rochester ny later this year. 3,000 hotel rooms booked, I get to pick from car chase or personal escort. (not that kind) spiderman 3.

There are only 2 reasons women work with men. One is a lack of something and the other is an over-abundance of something. I DO understand your awe with me however!

Yes! Followed by the feeling of "what the heck did I just do"?

Afternooner all.

Few years ago we wound up with some long layovers. A total of six for the round trip.
I spent the bucks for a Board room pass for AK air which was also good for partner airlines Delta, AA and United.
The free stuff and relaxing atmosphere was really worth the cost.
Made flying fun again for a little while.

In a couple of hours will be putting my truck back in hibernation. Hate to do that. Will be back for more R & R in July..
layovers are where your frequent flyer card comes in handy.

Flying thru amsterdam all the time, i was in the KLM petroleum club. its kinda like a permanent lounge pass for working for an petroleum company. Even in the airports that didn't "officially" accept the card, odds were they would let me in.

burn some miles and upgrade to business gets you in the lounges, plus a seat you can sleep in. Outside of that, 36 hours aint bad.

B safe Stan! Remember, when they call you to get on the plane, tell them you want IN it instead..

well got me a new-to-me truck, gonna be funny to see what THE BOSS does when she sees it.. Look for the obit, and perhaps a video on YouTube,

Now I got to go get it, 11 hour bus ride to Dallas.. that should be fun, but after reading Stan talk about a 36 hr trip, I aint complaining..

I'd rather do 36 hours of air travel than 11 hours on a bus. Atleast when you get on an international flight, its not as bad as the bus.

I plan on bringing a box of Oreo Cookies, smashing a handfull into my mouth so my face and teeth are covered in black goo, and and hover over them while growling at people as they walk by on the aisle... I should have a whole section of seats to myself...

Travel safe, big guy. Hurry back home. Those long flights are horrible. 26 hours to Australia really did me in - - can't sleep on a plane. Ended up standing most of the flight in the back galley the flight was soooo rough - - didn't want barf on the shoes of the person next to me. Oh mercy, did I bring up that subject again??? HORRORS. .....................

Love it - - never thought of that one - - very creative. And fun eating the OREO's at the same time - - ingenious. ....

Tired - - long day - - heading for early bed tonight - - gotta hit it very early tomorrow. Sleep tight - - CYA,
Bob

my last bus ride in the US, that might get you some new friends...
Internationally, bus or train rides aren't bad. Everyone takes the bus or train so you dont get the freak show like you do here.

Always the chance of that backfiring. You could end up with somebody who wants to sit next to you.

Glad you did. I now have a new goal. I have never puked on a flight attendant.

Also reminds me. On a small plane. Weather got too bad to land in Kenai so after circling for awhile in the dark we had to head back to Anchorage.
Over the inlet it got really bad and my wife finally urped into an airsickness bag.
Lady in front of her than spewed but hadn't had time to grab a bag.
Dont know how many people got sick but that plane was a mess.

we did not want to bother anyone for an hour ride to pickup a harley at the factory, so we took a bus. 10 hours rolling and stopping through fifty small PA towns----we would have carjacked someone. Good luck Chris!

Thank you Scott for listening! I value your opinion. am jealous of your work. Awe? only in "Aw, ...seriously!"

one of those fire truck days. got up too early. did racehorse PT (kind of like a canal lock). drove 40miles RT home. got a call to pick up item 22 miles. drove to deliver it 11miles. drove home20 miles. small blizzard, no sap boil today. drove to next town for well water annual testing kit/ errands and home 20 miles. craigslist reply for handicap ramp for tenant, drove to bank and big city Rochester ny 160 miles. read mail.

still waiting to actually do something today.....
