My last flight home from Columbus Ohio, the flight was delayed enough that my connection in Houston was in jeopardy. As luck would have it, that flight was delayed by an equal amount.
Flying is not as much fun as it used to be.

The flight we are on is the one flight back to DFW. If it didn't leave DFW, we weren't going home today.
Seems Omicron is really jacking with crews.
I have two flights next week - Kansas City and Houston - have big concerns about pulling those off.

Yeah, I've been reading about all the sick crews. Yet another chapter unfolds.

That's how my sibs and I had Christmas together without having to squeeze into a metal tube with the Great Unwashed.

After an hour or so I got sleepy enough to return to bed.

I've been re-painting the Paramount over the course of the past month. Yesterday I sanded it with 1000 grit wet/dry and it looked very nice. Today I hit it with the rattle can again, and it orange peeled just like it has every other time, I guess the answer is sand it and leave it. Tomorrow.

But if you painted it yellow, would it be lemon peelin?
