Guess it's working fine. Where is everybody?

Oh yeah, they are trying to find out why the RAW scores went down.

Went down because the changed DBMS to a floating Guarantee sans 70. New number is right under new PWA and old is wrong. Guarantee of 70 used to be a fixed number but isn't variable andas a result it changed everyone's RAW score when the program change was made.

problem was I kept confusing the name with that other guy, you know, the one who scored four touchdowns in a single game back in high school and who married that woman worth the big hair who always called for him to go upstairs.

It's about when the IT guys get to it. As they say, "it is what it is.". It's changed to the way it is to be. Not going back for a week.

Many if these items like this are one offs to a PWA cha ge and they get to them ASAP. Not the answer I like but it's the one I got.

I had heard that the original character's name was going to be Ted, but they changed it to Al after TB did his evil. I am guessing that is an urban legend, but a good story anyway.

They usually serve a boxed lunch. It's free, sort of... You paid dues for it. But, the sandwich is okay and there's a cookie, too.

It's better now that Kevin does it. Roger would put you to sleep. It used to take longer, back when there was a R part of the presentation. Now, it's mostly I.

WRT retirement (well not JUST retirement)... I have one piece of advice. If you fly over 80 hours, fill up your bank. ASAP. Especially if you are planning on an upgrade in either seat or aircraft.

It is a good story, we'll keep it.

To Al!




And to the new Al, the one that married the voluptuous Columbian! WHO IS NOW AS PREGNANT AS MRS 80KTSCLAMP... and MRS GRASSHOPPER.



"I don't know what she said, but I sure liked the way she said it."

sorry for the spoiler alert.
