@goosehd:

Anyone travelling longer that the 14 hours?

here ‍️ but with my camper van. starting tomorrow morning in Kiel, staying overnight somewhere at the Channel, taking the ferry across Thursday morning, should be in Gosport by early afternoon

but I guess that doesn't count

@endo Hell yes it counts…they can drink the entire way here, but you... (I guess you could...  :))

[goosehd]

…just play catch up when you get here...

Waiting for a Molly Ringwald story…

So bummed to miss the 20th anniversary party! I was at the 10-year, and I can't believe that was already 10 years ago. Wtf.

@Matt:

Too early for friends.  I have nothing good to say to anyone before 9.

Same. although, I guess I really have nothing good to say during most of the other hours of the day as well. Who knows, I've been slowly running out of F's to give over the last few years.

I’d fly to the gd moon if it meant getting away from the kids for while.  Just landed in Dallas. Getting close to margarita time.  Bloody Mary’s first though.  I’m no savage.

So far the only thing complicating our travel is the pulled pork green chile poutine I had for dinner last night.  🥴

[goosehd]

@Matt …so you're experiencing a little turbulence.

[Matt]

Affirmative.  The yellow zone is for unloading only today

[Matt]

But they have medicine here so…

@scooter How's the travel going?  Mad Red in hand?

@scooter How's the travel going?  Mad Red in hand?

I'm still at home. I'll be driving to Chicago, in about 6 hours. My fight is due to depart at 2115(central time). If all goes well, I'll arrive at Heathrow at 1100, tomorrow. The Mad Red is with me, and will be worn for the journey. I'll be posting along the way, so long as there are no connection issues…

@scooter Awesome news and safe travels!!  @Matt does not recommend eating green chili poutine before flights…

[scooter]

^Noted^

Who the hell eats the likes of a Pork green chili poutine the night before they travel? A risk taker for sure.

A local radio DJ here tells of a story from years back that he dropped an absolute disaster deuce on a plane, and as he stepped out of the bathroom door, he was face to face with Sheryl Crow about to enter that very bathroom.

When I worked in the defence industry, we were sent the spec for a system that would solve the following?

"We have a requirement to drop Chieftain Tanks on sleds from Globemaster C-17's flying low over enemy territory.  Once the tank is dropped there should be no noticeable perturbation from the aircraft."

A Chieftain weighs 55 tons FFS

Give or take a ton, I felt much better after dumping my cargo.
