My Daytona and I having lunch at 38,000 feet

Four hour flight from Chicago to San Diego today folks, thanks to headwinds :( But at least I have TapTalk and TRF to pass the time. Oh, and my Daytona ordered White Wine.... Chuckle.

Hey Paul...watch that salad dressing.

You're on your GMT II diet right? How's that going? Do you expect your boss will pay up when you lose the weight?

Thanks for checking and I'm down only about 4 pounds, but the GOOD news is if my boss doesn't make his weight goal in the same time (6 months) then I get an additional 6 to hit my weight. During the holidays he gained over 10 pounds, so it looks like I'm getting a time extension. :) And yes, he will pay up :)

They let you use the internet on your flights? Here in Canada they make us disable all communications on our electronics when in the air

The airlines only consider it to be a safety hazard if you are not paying for it. If you are paying for it, no problem. :)

All the research shows that none of the devices are a problem, but it's a subtle slap in the face to show the cattle who's in charge.

Sure, look up "Go-Go inflight" (of course) you have to pay for it, but it sure is nice being able to pass the time on the internet. Right now I'm just playing using my IPhone.

Apologies for the deviation from your original topic Paul mate but I really can't work it out......


You're certainly not a bad looking guy & I wouldn't imagine you're exactly poverty-stricken........




You do change your underwear regularly don't you?!?!?!



(Or is there something you're not sharing with us perhaps....??)

Dan, I'm starting to worry about you mate. Where did you find your pix from? They are bloody funny

Paul - did the person next to you gave you a weird look when you took off your Daytona, placed on your lunch and took a happy snap?
