Air travel sucks

[geekchick]

I am not going to fly from Dulles to Orlando via Pittsburgh. In what universe does that make sense? I suppose it doesn't matter much anyway, because USAir has no flights leaving Friday at a time that doesn't cut into the conference or put me back too late for the GBS show that night.

Why does JetBlue not fly into Orlando from Dulles? If I want to get there from here, I have to go to Newark first. :P

It's looking like AirTran and a sprint from Dulles to Foggy Bottom on Friday.


Oh, and cars suck too: someone just stopped by to tell me that my car is repeatedly locking and unlocking itself for no apparent reason. I guess this means it's time to call the mechanic down the street and see if they have some time to look at it.

Yes, I'm cranky today. Again. Allergies are kicking my ass, even with a bit of rain to clean things out a little. I'll feel human again sometime around, oh, July.

I am not going to make you drive an hour to get me unless I can get the flight for a lots less than the $800+ I've been looking at.
If I left on Thus it would be an 8 or 9pm flight so that would put me in that area around 10-11:30. An hour drive at the time would be nuts (unless I did the driving). If you and C. have plans for Fri. then I can leave on Fri. night to show up later or something instead of messing things up by showing up on Thurs.

Not unless you piss me off. ;)
Ugh don't say that, I am good at pissing people off as you well know.

As for the car I know all to well how Jap. cars are to work on and I totally agree let someone that does it all day long have the fun. If I had a few days I'd consider it.

Replacing the alt only took an afternoon... but it was an afternoon filled with "Fuck, you mean I have to take *that* off too?!?!?!"

That's normal, you should know that from the MR2's. Though I have never work on one of those so I can't really say. The GF's Maxima is a hemorhroid on wheels.

I actually had to do the alt in my 93 MR2 the same week, some kind of weird virus in the air I guess, but it was a lot easier than on the Mazda. The first gen MR2s are even easier to work on, though of course none of them compare to a big ol' American boat from the early 70s, with room to go camping under the hood.

Oddly my 95 Dodge ram has a bunch or room under the hood. It has a 318 and everything seems to be accessible (except the distributor). I can actually get in the engine compartment.

Heh have one of those which just happens to be a 1970.

Are the MR2's front, mid, or rear engine?

[nminusone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that looks a lot like the boats I remember from my childhood. Engine bays with an echo!

The MR2 is mid-engine. The name actually stands for Mid-engine, Rear wheel drive, 2 seater.
