Yea, I always wanted to get a hollow earth believer and flat earth believer together just to hear the silly argument. Wait, maybe the earth is a flat and hollow planet!

It is no dumber than the folks convinced the moon landing was all faked.

I hope all that sun has not sunburned you.

One of my buddies was sent to London for a month of work many years ago. London had two weeks straight of beautiful weather. He said after two weeks virtually everyone was sunburned, or had been sunburned and peeled, and sunburned again.

It has been over cast here but warm. I only see the sun for about an hour during lunch or on the walk to the can. Its dark when I get to the trailer and dark when I head to the hotel.

I may have that look next week. My hotel plans fell thru and I have no place to stay after Monday night. If a room can not be found for the rest of the week my boss at home said go to the airport and get the next flight home.

David, check out Booking.com

They have a great site and it is easy to find a room. Unless they are having a monster convention in town, there will be rooms somewhere. Use Uber to get to and from the hotel. It is easy and cheap. Let the nerd out and use the internet as a tool!

Of course going home is an even better option.

Day-ummm!! At least the bill is on your company. I'm sure you'd rather be home, though.

Got my camera work scheduled for Jan. 4.

Wow, 400+ bucks a night is a buncha dough.

While you are bored, check out Booking.com and surf for some room rates. I know it is not your cash for the room but it would interesting to see if there is something cheaper and better. You may well have the bargain room.

Oh there are cheaper rooms but they are a few miles away. Traffic sucks here. I will take me from 40-60 mins to travel the 2 miles to the airport to leave tonight. IF there is an accident even longer.

Woo hoo, got the new $17 gas cap for the turbo.
Just don't understand how someone tears up a gas cap that is wired to the car?
There was barely enough left to open and close it.

Also found a savage seat back cover. It looks like new! Had to pay $94 for it. They are $300 new.
They really didn't want to sell it to me, they wanted to sell me a whole seat for $400.
It wasn't a sport seat, they want $675 for those.
Would have considered swapping in a sport seat for $400, but not $675.

What is going to cost me is the sagging headliner. Local upholstery shop estimate is $600.
Salvage is $900, new is $2500.

Have a chick asking questions about the Cayenne S via Craigslist. Asked if it had the jack and spare. Sounds like a human.
