    Good list.

    Egypt (this year) - great place. I’ve been for work and pleasure and wish I could go back. There is beauty in the desert.

    Morocco

    Jordan and Petra - should probably go now that United flys there. I have miles to burn.  

    Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley

    Thailand - Still on of my favorite places I’ve ever been. Stay in Krabi and rent your own boat for the week or however long you are staying. That is the best island hopping. Chang Mai is also a must.

    Seville for Easter

    Oktoberfest in Munich - I am finally going back this year after the Covid hiatus. One of my favorite events/festivals to attend. Just remember it starts in September 😉. It is very helpful to have a local who can get you into the right tents with good seating. Makes the experience more enjoyable. 

     

    Good bucket list. I provided my comments on the places I’ve been.

  2. I found out recently that I have a third kid on the way. This means we need a bigger vehicle. I hate buying vehicles which is why I haven’t since 15. 
     

    Seems like if we are going with a Tahoe or GLS (yes my wife doesn’t know what the hell she wants) I should just put an order in now so it’s ready by Jan 23?

    You may have already talked about it upthread but what’s your pilot situation on that?  Got some young guy building time?  Older retired guy?  Airlines are snapping up anyone with a pulse, can’t be easy to find someone right now I’d think. Or did I miss it and you fly it?

    The two partners in the plane are CFIs in retirement and I can fly.

    I've long played the game of short term contracts with promo rates. I just checked the latest prices and it's a gut punch. Simple "deals" are running north of 17 cents. And they want 2 year commitments for 17. If you want less than 1 year, it's 22 cents.

    I don't see too many options other than paying the rates and setting the AC temp to 77. 

    Any suggestion out there other than acceptance?

    Holeeee fuk. My contract ends next March. Shit needs to get sorted.

    All that sounds rather pricey. 

    It is but it also adds value and it’s a write off or something. 
     

    The real pricey stuff was completed before purchase. The  plane was overhauled so the clock is back at zero.

    Am I imagining things, or did the max memory flashback montage include stuff from season 1 which was before she knew the others?

    Oh damn. I don’t know. Need to go back and see. 
     

    edit: or google it 😉

    I’m about halfway thru episode 4. Have to admit that I’m struggling to keep my attention on the screen. The only part keeping me going is the delivery of the other seasons. 
     

    edit: I wrote that just before the pizza delivery scene. That was pretty good.

    I am through episode 4 and have really enjoyed the season thus far. The gun fight in the house as they escape to the pizza van was frikin awesome. 
     

    The soundtrack is on point and I love the sound effect of the grandfather clock. 
     

    I do hope most of you all are watching this on an Atmos equipped system. The sound effects are awesome and adds a whole other dimension to watching.

    I’d die solo. 

    This latest Vegas trip was a solo trip for work. The only reason I did not die was because I tried to die on my trip to Miami Beach a couple weeks prior. Something about being on a yacht all day, drinking, and not really eating creates a bad combo.

    I’m a 40-45 weeks a year. Monday out Friday or Thursday back. 6 times a year I wouldn’t sweat it. 45 times a year adds up to take least painful options. Also Admirals club is great for a rest and during irrops they know all the tricks to get u something different. 
    Unless u can buy 1st every trip the pain adds up over a year. 

    Damn. I feel like my job is turning into this and it is starting to get tiring. I finally canceled a trip next week because I didn’t want to be flying 4 weeks in a row and because I would be going to Philadelphia.

    How was it?  Just booked the private dining room for July 4/UFC weekend.

    It was great. I hosted a party of ten and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy the food and the experience. 
     

    We ordered 4 dozen oysters, the ceviche tacos, bone marrow, grilled cheese dumplings, Brussels, and two of the tomahawk ribeyes which were extremely tasty and actually cooked medium rare. I might be forgetting one or two dishes but no one left hungry.

    Vegas is busy for a Monday night. I had to wait awhile to get a spot at a craps table. Also saw a $50 min table. No thanks. I’m going to need the Dow to have about 20 more days like yesterday.   
     

    Went to Joe’s Seafood last night. It was very good and probably worth a recommendation. One thing I always like about eating in Vegas is the professionalism of the wait staff at a lot of the establishments. Our waiter was on point.
