I have not had the time to call them at this point. The problem is not knowing the apple ID and password for the wife's access so I'll try making one for myself. When she did it wanted to send a code to her phone to enter into the PAD, I don't have an iPhone.

Golly airline travel is F@&king fun. My flight out of DFW was delayed leaving and getting to a gate. My connection left without me. I had just 10 minutes to get to the opposite side of DFW and the trip on the train took longer than that. They have me rebooked on a later flight. I get in (or should I saw I am SUPPOSED) to arrive at 10:10 tonight.

Sounds like he needs to build one of the wooden supersonic experimental planes that look kinda like a BD-5. Then you can get theee REALY FAST. Thought it was kinda interesting, it has two control sticks. One for sub sonic, and one for super sonic speeds.

Me personally, I would buy some wireless noise cancelling headphones and download a couple of good unabridged audio books. Or install KODI on my iPhone and find a series I haven't seen and binge watch it.

Undestand the American Airlines Captains Club is a really nice lounge at DFW.

I have dropped friends off at Will Rodgers in OKC and picked them up as they walked out to catch a cab at DFW. Was in my 87 AMC Jeep Cherokee. Freaked them out! Don't know how fast...the speedo only went to 85mph and it was pegged most of the time. Was cruising with a Vette and a Golf GTI. Would have flown with my friends, but had an ear infection and doc said whatever I did, do not fly or I will very painfully regret it. Ended up being kinda fun.

Google says a flight from OKC to DEW takes 58 minutes. Of course that does not include security, boarding, unboarding, and crossing the DFW airport from the gate to the taxi area.

One of those friends got a new Acura Integra RS. We left OKC 2 hours before he was supposed to make a presentation at the Infomart in Dallas, 215 miles. We made it with a few minutes to spare. i slept from OKC to the Texas border because I had been up all night making the powerpoint. Once I woke up couldn't sleep any more. Him driving that fast was very unsettling because he tailgated and shot the gap way too many times.

Richard's vehicular status update...

Cayenne - Bumper cover on order. There were none in USA, ordering from Germany, estimated time for delivery 2 months. $75 to expedite to 2 weeks. Labor would double to reassemble to drive until parts come in. I miss Oklahoma Foreign salvage yard.

928GTS - Mechanic will return tomorrow from being out with the flu.

Bought SIL lunch, $11 to taxi me to get groceries. She did her grocery shopping as well. Took her 2 hours in store. I go down every isle and it only takes me 45 minutes in store. I started the going down every isle when I took Mom with me so she would get some exercise. Just became a habit for me to make sure I get everything I need. Seems to take much less time and do way less walking than crossing the store for items as you think of them.

after years of shopping at the same store the wife has made a grocery list that is in order from the time you walk in the door. I can be in and out in less than an hour. Now that we are down to one kid even less.

I once made it from KDBQ to KOTM in under an hour and a half. In a Cessna 152. 5323M was the N number on that plane. Best one in the fleet. One of them had the rudder trim off. That was miserable on a cross country flight. 23Mike was the plane we had our little contest in and my flight instructor lost. I only scared him a little bit. Airport lights are not cheap evidently.

Have a good night all.

Weeeee.

Finally sitting in the airplane on the way to Herndon. We are now scheduled to take off at 6:55. No other schedule has been met at all so I don’t hold much hope. I am in the aircraft to get me to my final destination. Be it the scene of the crash or Dulles. Going dark until I get to the hotel.

Yep, it is not speedy. You got it to register with an AppleID amd save iCloud settings?

Bob keeps calling me because his bluetooth keyboard(s) keep not connecting to his iMac. Keeps trying to use the same keyboard between two computers and doesn't understand why the computers can't tell which computer he wants to use the keyboard with. The Mac will stop it's pairing because of it. Told him to quit using the wireless keyboards for more than one computer and/or get a wired keyboard. Says he doesn't have money to. There is a logitech wired keyboard on google for $20 shipped. Says he can't afford it, but he can afford all the AA batteries to keep the wireless keyboard and mouse going.

If I had a budget like Bob's I would be selling all the computer stuff I had that I wasn't using and get a wired keyboard and mouse so I wouldn't have to keep buying batteries.
