How do these people do business if they cancel at the last minute? Wow.

It is nasty cold and rainy right now. Brr.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #188: Hockey Is The Real Politics

I've only flown in one of those 2/1 row planes once. I wasn't nervous until I had to really duck just to get in the door, followed by the announcement that a couple volunteers needed to move to the back of the plane to even out the weight of the plane. I understood why that needed to happen, and all, but that's still a little bit of an eye-opener. Let's just say I was wide-awake that flight.

I heard that announcement on a 100-seat plane when I flew from DCA to Albany a few weeks ago.

A buddy of mine, his family used to own a Cessna 174(?), a four-seater, single-engine plane. When I was on it during our weekend trips to visit another buddy in IA City, and I was weighing in close to 300lbs then, the heavy gear was stored behind my buddy. He didn't say the words, but it was clear what his intentions were at the time. They likely do the same on the bigger crafts, but can do a lot of that with balancing the luggage rather than moving around their passengers.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #188: Hockey Is The Real Politics

Since more people see it here, does anyone know if you buy a frozen four ticket from a presale (not as a priority purchase) does that still give you a priority point for next year?

I've never purchased before and was curious how it works.
 
A little ashamed to admit it, but I just went to my first ever Tim Horton's. Also had my first Timbit. I bought a 40 pack, assorted, for the office. Was walking past the one in Dinkytown and had to stop in.

Where else have they put in Tim Horton's? I heard rumors about the Mall of America, but the chances of me going there any time other than a pit stop if I'm stuck at the office later than the buses run from downtown Minneapolis to Apple Valley. That's when I have to take the LRT to the MOA and then the "Red Line" bus from the MOA to the AV transit station.

Good Afternoon Lodge!!

Baked the first batch of Pepparkakor for church. Now ready for nap.

Bigger aircraft have computer based weight and balance, center of gravity systems. Different types of planes have different peculiarities, the DC-10/MD11s are a particular b***h.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #188: Hockey Is The Real Politics

I learn some really random things in the Lodge
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #188: Hockey Is The Real Politics

So of course I'm coming down with some kind of cough/dry scratchy throat now that I'm back from Ireland. And a week before I go back to work. With a drive from NY-FL beginning tomorrow probably.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #188: Hockey Is The Real Politics

I have never had Horton's. I will at some point, but won't go out of my way for it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I've never even had Dunkin' Donuts. They don't have them around here anymore, and my parents never took me to them when they were in MN back in the 80s. The closest I've ever been to a DD was in the basement of The Termini in Rome (their main train station). I was in Italy to eat American fast food.
