Don't know what I did or said. Twice a year I get to go sailing with the guys....four dudes....four boats.....four days.....Chesapeake. Usually mid May, and October. Too cold for the Admiral anyways and she knows I enjoy it so I get the nod.

We were all set up for next month, schemed and weaseled...all was in place. Untill my employer informed me that they have two weeks of training scheduled....RIGHT ON TOP OF THE SAILING TRIP.....

Good news is I get to drive a bigger bus....one step closer to LKIII

You must have been having to much fun lately and King Neptune doesn't like landlubers having to much fun in his waters.
Guess with the bigger bus, no more long layovers down this way.

From what I see, the bigger the bus, the more it drives itself... Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

O
Do you ever come to Wichita to a Flight Safety Simulator class?

Speaking of Neptune, we did the renaming ceremony last Sunday, is Asti Spumante ok? Within 10 minutes the wind went from 0 to a nice 10 and held the rest of the day.

Big bus is B757-200/300 B767-200/400, and nope Frog it doesn't stop in JAX, unless I drop in there to stop for gas when NY goes to pieces and I'm coming up from South America on "Max economy dispatch fuel"......

Dave, all big busses can drive themselves, but that is analogous to your computer keeping your checkbook balance for you......you have to feed it good information and you have to supervise it. Otherwise you start bouncing.... Also, I get to hand steer anytime I want to, and 95% of al dockings, eh landings, are manual, otherwise they'd be much better.

Frank, we do all our training in our own facility down at the Master Base in Houston......

Better to pour that stuff on the bow than in your mouth. Yuck.

You have to be careful not to tick him off. He's got these big irritable primitive sons, is awfully fond of them; if you poked one in the eye, that would account for it.
