Havnt figured it out yet.

Incase you are wondering whose fault it is when they don’t make it.











It’s mine.

And this is why I want my moat.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve booked flights to the Carib thru Miami, knowing that I will need long lay-over times because of how long it takes to get from one terminal to another or to get thru customs/immigration. Then, AA changes my flights giving me 10 minutes to connect outbound and 15 to connect inbound. Then I have to spend two hours on the phone with CS explaining how at least two hours are needed on the inbound flight due to the three hour lines to clear customs/immigration.

Joking. Might sound like a shock, but I have zero experience booking a flight on any airline.

I would imagine, the rescheduling of flights has a greater chance of happening the farther out the flights are booked.

So I was looking on Craigs List like I often do and there's one up in Sonoma County. Red with 'Titanium', both metalflake. Same kit. Listed as a 56, but the pics look bigger than any 56 I've ever seen. Longer head tube, steeper angle between the seat tube and seat stays. Same 6207 kit. Seller's asking $300, but the listing's been there 16 days.....

Hi. I'm Doug, and I'm an addict. It's been 3 months since I last bought a bike.........

Also I'm all out of proper beer, and not going to the store today. But one beer is plenty for today.
