I hate flying because of the way they pack people in so tight these days. Glad you gt home safely.
What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

I never knew you were the sensitive type, Marky. I bet you don't give your wife the dutch oven in bed either, right?
Best recourse on the plane would have been to hold yer nose and then let a few SPDs fly at your neighbor.
I don't think the seats are any tighter these days, Greg. I think maybe it's more that the occupants are continually getting bigger. Just imagine sharing a row in coach on a cross country flight with BeemerDonS in the middle seat. JSNS.

I know that I am bigger than I used to be, but I believe the airlines have squeezed in more rows of seats over the years, at least in the cheap seat sections where I sit. I rarely fly any more and prefer to drive or ride whenever possible.I don't think the seats are any tighter these days, Greg.

for cost savings (revenue enhancement) they have tightened the distance between seats, made the seats more upright (with less tilt), and put more seats per row. it's well known in the industry and apparently not a big deal to most pundits.I don't think the seats are any tighter these days, Greg.

81 degrees - Perfect FJR weather. We missed winter here. Went from Summer to Fall to Spring and it is now Summer again. Cool

Yeah, it's a concrete corn cob. So?
BTT.
We're steadily heading to above-freezing today but there is a winter weather advisory for counties to the north. We'll prolly get an inch or two tonight / tomorrow while the counties to the north could get up to 6 inches. And we're gonna get that wintry mix bullshit.
But we're looking to be in the mid-50's come Thursday so, depending on road conditions (besides lingering snow we have some MAJOR potholes around here) maybe I'll get out for a bit later this week.

You guys that live east of Minnesota and north of the mason/dixon line had better start building an Ark soon. When all that white shit starts melting, you'll be going down stream quickly.

Today is brilliant sunshine and blue skies, but cold. Bikergeek's weather is headed here for tonight and we're looking at 4 inches with a winter mix to spice things up. There is a lot of snow on the ground and my dog has taken to pooping on the driveway and sidewalk since the yard is so deep. No problem, I just shovel it off with the snow, but just sayin' this is ridiculous.
I'm driving down to Florida and the Keys at the end of the week with the wife. Wish it was on the bike, but it will be nice to watch the season rapidly change as we travel south.

Don't shovel the brown stuff. When it's below zero, all you need to do is go out there after dark with a 9-iron, and practice your approach shots. The projectiles should land several houses away, and nobody will know where it came from, and there won't even be any dog tracks leading up to it.
(Warning: Do NOT try this in the summer. It will make a mess of your shoes and clothing)

Well, staging the snowmobile by the front porch didn't do any good. The new snow covered it and even after I dug it out I had to snow blow a path to get it down to the driveway where it could go on it's own without sinking in.
On the bright side, the sun is out today, the temperatures are in the high 20's F and after one more small blast of snow coming tonight it is going to warm up and start to go away.
I enjoy the snow, but I've had enough.

Fixed it for you, Greg.
