Maybe transfer those to Flickr and make your stream entirely private? You'll be the only one able to see them.

How are electronic tablets of any kind going to make my life better? I don't have to carry Jepps. I don't have to update Jepps, they are there waiting in my airplane when I get there, and I can use them to go anywhere in the world. NOW.. I will have to carry a $400 device, be responsible for it, don't break it, and make sure it is up to date. How is this better?

The contract says no earlier than 3pm. 3pm is the earliest to check it, 2 am is the latest....contractually. You have to check it in that window...contractually. FAR wise, you cannot be required to check it before midnight. I guess this leaves midnight - 2 am as the the window you are required to check it if you don't voluntarily check it 3pm to midnight.

the coors singers were hot.

Let me guess: you have a flip phone.

Buy a passport. It's about a 100 or 200 gigabyte portable hard drive. I put all my pictures on it and my computer so everything is always in 2 places.

Ding, Ding, Ding. We got a winner! Not going to make it any better. Plus you're responsible for uploads and servicing it. Not going to make life any better---Not until they put add on's like Turbulence and real time weather by Flt Level. And....as the NTSB announced at the UPS investigation--all devices were taken and scoured for email, messages and browser history. So if you're looking to buy a new custom made Holland & Holland; you'll be branded as a columbine gun nut.

I was at the ABC Liquor store yesterday looking for something of authentic Irish heritage, like myself.

Did you know Guinness and Harp is now being brewed in....Nova Scotia! Read the back of the can!

So I passed over those, but then I spotted a reddish brown can of Guinness Red Harvest Stout, and it is still brewed in Dublin (according to the details on the back of the can) so I picked up a 4 pack of that, I'm saving it for Monday, going to try making some Black and Tans with that and the Smithwicks I also picked up.
Timbo, have you tried Jai Alai IPA from Cigar City brewery in Tampa? It comes in a green can and is pretty widely available in Florida. Excellent IPA similar to torpedo.

The beer that launched Ballast Point.
Our original Pale Ale is a rich golden brew, crafted with aromatic German hops and rounded out with a blend of American and Munich malts. While it’s hopped like a lager, we ferment it like an ale to create a smooth, bright taste that has just a hint of fruit and spice. It’s extremely drinkable, like a Kolsch should be, yet complex, like a good craft beer demands.


San Diego is adding microbrews the way Fred & Leo added RJs to DAL!

Scoop

OH yeah and for Timbo - You can also enjoy nice weather all year round - probably even better than Orlando.
Love Ballast Point too, their Sculpin IPA is awesome!

I've seen my projected training date, but was just curious as to how early I could expect to get the official training schedule. I'd figure at least a month or so, but not sure.
One way to see what's what is to goto the fleetpage, click on training, then scroll down to ring the simulator schedule link, that will shot what's posted if they haven't got it into I crew yet.
