Good Morning all...Just getting gathering my thoughts and then we're off to the airport.. Glorious sunny morning and already quite warm at 6.30am..

Merlin it's not the Queens' real birthday that is in April...this is just her ''official'' birthday .. hope you're on the train and enjoying the ride to the country, and the weather has stayed nice for you.. :D

Kaydee any chance of getting to see a photo of you in one of your dancing outfits?..they all sound so pretty :D

Josiah, how irritating about the clothing not selling..and if most of the women in OH are not Petite like your wife, she must have had a hard time finding clothes to fit in the first place. I had the same problem in Germany, I am petite, a size 8-10, and it was almost impossible for me to buy clothing there which was generally made for women with much bigger frames..

Jim...you should really show the bigger picture ya know.. ;)...see you in Spain later ...and don't forget to bring Shali, Glinda, April and Cookie too...I'll be looking out for you all.. :cool:

I'm soooo 'xcited.... :sunglass:Mediterranean beach here I come...


Have a great day folks...

Thank you Holly, the train journey went well, the weather is still glorious, I am confused with realit, so the Queen having multiple birthdays is OK, I have noticed she is ageing well considering she has two birthdays a year :)

I expect you are already on a Mediterranean beach by now, enjoy!!
 
I wanna come too guys! Merlin and Holly, have a wonderful day. Kadee have a lovely time dancing. Sounds like you are feeling much better. Good luck, Josiah, selling the rest of your stuff. Wish I lived closer, I am petite, would have loved to see your wife's beautiful clothes. Annie, too much scrubbing is bad for the soul. Indulge yourself a little.

I'm not in danger of too much scrubbing, but too little ain't so good either. :D I am excellent at indulging myself!

Annie, I love self-indulgence, soooo decadent. Too much moderation is dull.

True. However, I indulged sooooo much in Thailand this past winter that I gained 14 pounds in 9 weeks! Must have been the mai tais or margaritas with lunch, or the ice cream coffee drinks, or the chips/fries, or the huge bowl of muesli most mornings, the G & Ts, the beer...... (I did go the gym 3 mornings a week.) :eek:
 
Finally, we are flying home this afternoon. I have takeoff time set for 12:30 p.m. Been to Milwaukee and now in Dallas all week. It will be good to get home. Looks like some bumps along the way and maybe a few storms that we will need to divert around. It also looks like somewhere around 3 hours and fifteen minutes from takeoff to touchdown, but I will know more when I get to the airport and calculate the numbers into the FMS (Flight Management System). I do a pre-flight plan in my hotel room before heading to the airport and filing the final flight plan to save time. The Legacy 500 is a sweet jet and gives a very good ride.

Did ya miss the storms ???

Oldman, have a safe flight! Hope things don't get too bumpy.

Just checking the aviation weather now and it appears that most of the bumps will be in the Tennessee Valley area. We should stay out of the storms, if we can get out on time and that depends on how late the "boys" were partying last night. I scheduled my takeoff time for 12:30 p.m. Hopefully, they will be on time. I guess they sold a lot of bikes (2016 Harleys) here in Dallas, so they celebrated pretty late. The front desk clerk told me that they came in after 3:00 a.m. I told him to give them a wake-up call at 11:00 a.m. They asked me to join them for drinks last evening and I told them that I never drink the night before a flight. They called me a party pooper and I told them "Yeah, but I am a live party pooper." My co-pilot is a young recruit just out of the Navy and I told him that he will be flying the plane today. He is really excited and I like seeing guys that act like he is right now. It reminds me of how I was when I started flying and still am today.

I prefer the pilot on my plane not to drink the night before! Can't imagine encouraging the pilot to drink.

We are staying in Irving. It is really nice here and the people are very kind. I didn't get out and around much, but the news is inundated with all kinds of film and pictures. There is a river in Dallas called Trinity, I believe, that seems to be a focal point for flooding in the Dallas area and a lot of concern for that area is always being spoken about.
 
I'll tell you what, AS, the boys down here can put away some beer and liquor. They also like their big cigars, which about choke the life out of me.
 
Ken, we did for the most part. We got here on Wednesday from Milwaukee. DFW was backed-up for landings, so we had to circle twice. Private jets do not have priority landing, if they have plenty of fuel on-board, which we did.

I believe it! I've only been to Texas once and what I remember best is the huge, delicious steaks! I wasn't a beer drinker then, but am now. And I hate cigars!

What a beauty, sometimes I wish I knew how to fly, must be such a great feeling manning that thing. I've often fantasized about flying an aircraft, not so much a fan of someone else flying me in a small craft, but the thought of me at the helm at times seems exhilarating, well till I remember who I am.. :D But still such a wonderful skill to possess.

Well I'm headed off to spend some time snuggled up with Netflix, I've been seeing the Roku symbol going bouncy, bouncy, across the screen for the better of an hour, since I plugged it in and still haven't made my way over to the sofa to watch any movies or other shows. So time to go. Oh would you look at that, it's flashing the entire selection screen at me now, must be trying to tell me something. I think there a poltergeist in here messing with my remote.

One more new post check and I'm out of here. Have fun everyone. Happy and flying and landings Oldman. Everyone enjoy the rest of your day.

I've got something on tv in the background but am thinking of seeing what new movies are on Netflix. On my own as hubby gets back tomorrow.
 
Josiah, being without electricity is a major drag, especially without morning hot coffee! We had a huge power outage along eastern seaboard in 2004 or so, remember -- no power for 3 days here in hot summer - it was sandwich time for a while and catching up on reading and sleep. Survive. :)
