That is our expectation. We are on the plane. Bags are apparently going to Orlando and then Miami.

Good news, Gene.

Storm door install complete. Think I'll relax now.

Check in Hockey 🏒 Dad. 👋

Luggage? (Fingers Crossed.)

She is a keeper, but you already know that.

Air travel sucks.

Told baggage service in Miami to not route our bags to Miami. They said ok. Drove from Miami to Orlando. Found our bags in the bag graveyard. There had never been any attempt to route than anywhere other than or Orlando. They were going to die there. This worked in our favor.

The trip is now back on schedule. Meet with the builders tomorrow morning and fly home in the evening.

Just opened a bottle of Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon

Happy HD .

I normally only do carry on and don't check baggage. I travel lite. Couple stints ago flying from Boston to Wisconsin they had to take one of my carry ons and put it in the belly of the plane for the last jumper from Chicago to Madison (they didn't have enough overhead storage so the bag was checked on the tarmac/boarding tunnel thingy).

Got to Madison and there was no bag there for me. WTF? After a handful of tracking numbers and phone calls and $hit it turns out that it went from Chicago to Minneapolis, then to Milwaukee, and eventually to GB (where I told them to deliver it).

I still don't get it.. how is it that you check your bag on the gangway to the plane but it ends up on a completely different plane? While waiting for the two days of it being transported around the Great Lakes area, I bought some sweats and T-ee's and $hit Wally Word.

No harm, no foul. Luckily it was a trip back to visit the family so is was no dress code. Kinda would have sucked if it was a business trip where you have to dress professional and $hit

Hope it all goes much better than your airport experience.

Happy Tuesday fellas.

Dudes..

Morning folks. Sticky out there this morning with unusual humidity coming up from the gulf kinda like a day in August. Iffn I wanted this chit I would move to Florida dammit!

Pool tech coming to change out the filter systems sometime between 8-12 so I guess nothing to do but have a cigar on the patio while I'm waiting.

G'day ya bloody beautiful bastids! Coffeed up, dog walked... need to get my arse motivated to shower and go get a haircut and stuff.

Looking like a slow drive to SD for a stay of June 10-20 and then a slow drive back. Boys want me to go fishin' with them... and I need to purchase some Pliny the Elder for the beer fridge.

Good morning 500 folks, have a big storm rolling through Kentucky. Wrong day to walk to work for sure.

up early, expecting a phone appointment with the RN who's helping me monitor my diabetes...her assistant called to say the RN was out today and has to reschedule the appt...

oh well had coffee and read the paper, went for a walk with my wife...kinda overcast, partially sunny. temps in low 80's...

put a slab of ribs in the smoker for lunch

Left Orlando on time. Weather in Houston has closed the airport. Circled in a holding pattern for a while and then diverted to New Orleans for fuel and currently sit on the plane there.

May I suggest you avoid any future 🛬 airline travel.

A circle of Hell for Le Hockey Dad> Endless fly overs, over Fly Over Country. That's some fun.

Hope you got extra miles for every lap around the airport.

Dudes...

Happy Hump Day danm & 500 gang.

Danm, I am thinking a goat might actually make sense for you...

If I could keep it only in the ditch and the swamp, 100%.

Was thinking yesterday I have 6 lawns. 1) my front and back lawn that I try to keep as nice as possible. 2) empty lot/field gets mowed 3) light woods that I mow 4) thick woods I brush mow 3-4x/yr and 5) the swamp - I usually get one sometimes 2 chances to get a mower back there but even when it's super dry, I'll break through the crust and sink in the mud. And number 6) the ditch. 200ft long, 6+ft deep and walls are 45 degrees or steeper and the water is thigh deep. Every section gets treated differently.

Just got done mowing the ditch and edging with the trimmer. Repaired the garden hoses, replaced a broken spigot, sprayed/sprinkled for ants, sprayed 12 gallons of roundup around all the trees and stuff. Found the biggest ant nest I've seen - was in a pile of cedar shingles I've had in the shed forever and their tunnels went through the whole stack. Pulled it all down into a wagon and dumped it in the burn pit kill em with fire. Cut down one small dead tree and burned it.

Gotta do a few more things before my back tells me to fvck off. Still hoping to build my subwoofer box - picked up the mdf when I was at menards. But my sawhorses are MIA I don't think my back will let me work on the garage floor.

Would truly enjoy it.

I’m glad to back at my desk working. (That just sounds awful!)
