Morning box. Driving a Mini Cooper coupe convertible back to FST from DEN for a buddy of mine today. Unfortunately it's a little too cold to put the top down.

Time to get ready to head to Wurstfest.

Haven't flown out of mke in 6mo his is the c gates a cluster with WN being added. Luckily they enforce elite line and had WTMD only line open

I occasionally read the Chronicle's website, and they have been advertising Wurstfest for months!

There was another FTer on the third floor after you guys left, I recognized him from last year when I did a HNL run.

Every time I see this line, I imagine that you're driving the Suzuki Liana from Top Gear.

HNL delayed a hour so I guess I might not get that Poke in Kailua today after all.

ETA: All the Lavs are INOP so MX is trying to fix it .

In fairness, I thought the CLE 787 thread was a prank...I mean, the thought of United ever bringing a longhaul-capable bird to CLE is rather laughable.

Morning, Box, from SAT.

I have to say - while I love nice meals and foodie experiences, there is absolutely nothing better than $3 worth of breakfast tacos.

Morning, Box. Having breakfast in Long Beach. Heading back to LAX Hilton shortly. Enjoyed Skyfall last night. And had a good but quick gathering with friends long unseen.

Today's trip is already having issues. A whole bunch of delay messages in the past 35 minutes. Departured delayed 1.5 hours.

Expecting to get worse now. Imbound says "3 Hours 15 Minutes Late (Delayed - Aircraft servicing)"

Me too.

The 788 doing this morning's IAH-EWR is delayed 3 hours. It sounds like none of the toilets are working.

ETA: it's now boarding again.

Mines on a rolling delay and the pilots I spoke with said they might need to cancel if its not fixed by noon.

ETA: They already canceled the HNL ORD flight tonight so if this cancels then that could lead to an ugly situation out of HNL tonight.

New TSA union contract will give agents a yearly uniform allowance bigger than Marine Corps lifetime allowance - http://washingtonexaminer.com/tsa-u...han-marine-corps/article/2513111#.UJ5zsodX3nh

They're still bringing one to CLE on that day. Just not the nice shiny new one.

Ridiculous.

With all the crawling around in the darkest of a$$ cracks they do I'd suspect they need new uniforms all the time. The smurfs are now an even bigger disgrace.

Morning, Box.

Had a fun evening. Okay dinner at a Spanish tapas place we had a Living Social deal for. Menu sounded great, food looked beautiful, and everything was very nicely cooked, but it all lacked flavor. It wasn't bad, but it was just bland. Like, decent cafeteria food served up small plate style and looking very fancy. Oh well. It was a 50% discount, so no big loss.

That was followed by Skyfall, which was as awesome as others have said. We went to the 10:45 PM showing at the Uptown in DC, and old, historic theater that was redone in such a way to lose any resemblance of historic charm, but still has an awesomely huge screen. We had great seats and really enjoyed the film. Nobody fell asleep either, despite the late showing that kept us there past 1:00 AM.

Jeebus, I'm pretty sure the TSA is exhibit A of how a government program screws totally up. Whether you're a progressive, conservative, libertarian, or whatever no one can argue that the progress from inception to today is anything but a cluster.
