I tried to emulate someone interesting, but eventually I got bored.

One second thought....

Compared the DirectTV Now programming for $50 to my Cox Cable Subscription for $121 and of the channels I watch the only one I wouldn't get is the El Rey network. It's available on Direct TV Now, but would have to add a bunch of sports and news stuff making it $80. So much for Flying Five Finger One Armed Eight Pole Shaolin Exploding Death Touch Thursdays.

Richard, call Cox, ask for the customer retention. Tell them about your research on prices and why you are looking to change. I bet they drop your current price and replace your box.

Good no longer Monday day. Gotta register for Parade today.

It does not take that long to do just the initial registration. Or it shouldn't. Back in 2015 registration for the Monterey parade they tried to host on the PCA server and it was horrendously SLOW. It would take 5 minutes per page and no skipping pages like the 5K run or golf tournament. You have to say yes or no to every single option. Last year for Vermont they changed to the two part registration.

Now registration is split into to parts. Today is the initial part and gets your space reserved and a spot at the hotel. Later in the year the main even registration happens where you pick the tours or events you are going to want to participate in.

Yea, after 2.5 years they have had plenty of time to get it running. I hope they drained the gas long ago. You will need fresh gas.

The Blade helis are pretty nice. I remember when the first SAFE equipped one came out a couple years ago and debated between that and the Corsair. Since the little one bought the plane I thought I should get the plane. I like the SAFE stuff better than a lot of hte other add in stuff as well. Just adds weight to the aircraft. Plus, you can put a SAFE receiver in other aircraft to fly them.

Any bets on whether the 928 is done before Joe goes out on and returns from his first cruise?

Glen I think I got it done. Does this get me a room or do I need to do something else for that?

Really You got in? I keep getting the It is not open yet error. WTF?

The last page is the hotel reservation. It should give you a code to register at the Parade Hotel at a deep discount.
