Thailand - Iron Heart Parties 2015

@Megatron1505:

I wore my 25oz Busters in Jakarta, gave me a condition that I lovingly refer to as "rainforest balls" 

The question should be "why" but I have a feeling the answer is something along the lines of "why not."

[Giles]

I can on the way to Heathrow.  This time our luggage includes 3 cartons Wesco boots, 18 pairs in total…....Wonder what the check in staff will have to say.....

[louisbosco]

i'm curious. how heavy is 3cartons? how do you guys even bring all these stuff and in addition your clothes and such for a trip halfway across the world?

[Chris]

Here's my guess:
Figure 2.5 kilos/pair, 18 pairs= 45 kilos for the Wesco gear alone.

[Giles]

The boots were 120lbs on their own.  We travel enough to be allowed 3 pieces of luggage each at 32kg per case.  So in theory we could do 192kg (423lbs) plus hand baggage….Paula tries to make sure we are close to that every time we travel

[Chris]

Damn, off by a half kilo per pair.

Currently in Apple Store, Central Mall, Bangkok.  My trusty MacBook Air crapped out on me.  Brain is still there, but no screen.  Trying to buy a new MacBook and get data transferred, because guess where my backup is?  Yes Gos Vegas…..

As an aside, when I type in www.iron , Google primed the forum.  Someone has been here before me.....

[Megatron1505]

The biggest shock for me from that post is that I had totally forgot that you were there already  :o

[louisbosco]

3 pieces of 32kg each. wow that's really good. anyways. what macbook did you get? the air again?

enjoy your time there. try not to lose anything this time.

[Giles]

Nope.  I got a pro because I wanted a retina screen

[Megatron1505]

Good choice, on a separate note don't bin your old one as I have the Macbook repair guide and a full Mac tool kit I'd be happy to have a go at resurrecting it for you. I've stripped down both mine and Pam's MacBooks a number of times for repairs and modifications.

You do understand the problem with this sentence, right?.. That's like a mechanic saying "Right I think I've got it, otherwise just pop back in, and I'll have another go at it…"

[Megatron1505]

Obviously for different reasons you bafoon

I hope the transfer went well? This reminds me of how I lost more than 80 GB of datas many years ago before I could even make a backup :(… Nobody should experience those feelings. Hardware sucks sometimes though...

nice!! good choice. i hope it's with the new trackpad. tried one of those at the apple store the other day and it was really useful.

Great choice. I absolutely love mine.

[Giles]

Apple Store only did a half arsed job of porting my old stuff. They did the data but no apps…doh.  Am now back again trying to get them to do the rest

[Giles]

Up 'n' running…....

[Snowy]

So it may have taken 2 trips, but that's pretty awesome considering what the PC world offers (read nothing). Their after care support/services are amazing
