  1. Great question - I’ll do a side/side this week and let you know! Meanwhile, I have reached Valhalla…
  2. Just checking in to say that Kosher Rye is delicious… easily the most unique Rye I have on the shelf and smooth as all get out.
  3. First release of Valley Tan is what I was referring to, so I hope it’s improved for you!
  4. Finally got my shipment in last week - FANtastic!!
  5. Baltimore, baby - And parking at the terminal is $15 a day.
  6. Hope yours is better than mine, but pretty sure mine wasn’t finished in port. Was a drain pour but a sexy bottle with the wash they put on it.
  7. Mrs. Taco: I think we should leave the house at 4:15 for our 6:15 flight Taco: That’s fine if you want to sit at the airport for an hour… Mrs Taco: 1mm reasons why I’m an idiot Cut to me sitting at the front door at 4:15… 4:20… 4:30… 4:32 Anyway, we’re through security at 5AM, there isn’t shit to eat and somehow I’m still wrong.
  8. I really want to know what was going down there - Have a feeling that will be a story tomorrow. Perhaps someone barring his brother from coming onto the court?
  9. To validate some of this group’s postulations, I had a chat in the back of my flight home from CA earlier this week with the steward… Taco: So, wtf do you think is causing all this insanity… clearly there are a number of factors at play, but… Steward: … it’s the prices. We we’re selling $25 tickets a few months back, and now you have people that wouldn’t know how to behave on a Greyhound flying transcons. Taco: God help us all…
  10. Gentlemen… Good morning from the bountiful state of California!
  11. Considering ditching my CSR for Amex Plat before the increase this year. Not so much concerned with the delta in costs, but the CSR side benefits have gone to shit (I don’t own a Peleton and that’s not anywhere near as good as the previous Lyft or Doordash perks) Still pretty easy to do a change of service with them and downgrade the card?
  12. Flew into AUS this morning and got lucky on the way in, with no one in the middle seat of the exit row. As we’re deplaning, everyone in front of us has gone and people behind us are moving through as I gently ask the woman next to me if she intended to move today or continue to stare at her phone until we landed again in Oakland… Jesus, people… pay attention!
  13. Already booked by my agent - Aircraft is correct anyway, but I guess we’ll see. It’s a brand new route, so I hope they would use a relatively new aircraft.
  14. Eh well whatever - For that price it could be Southwest and I’d pay it for a direct to Croatia at this point.
  15. Gonna get to try out United’s relatively fresh first class cabin on their new EWR-DBV route next month. Still can’t believe we snagged them for 3k per!
  16. Actually had a great encounter on Sunday coming back from Asheville, so here’s some positivity for this salty group: Waiting for the endless cattle call as we’re in group 6 and this country lookin’ dude comes up and asks if we’re in his group (he’s 7). We tell him to hang tight and he proceeds to tell us this is his first REAL flight. I inquire what that means and he says that him and a buddy took a Cessna over the local hills once, just spotting the trees to mark their line. Anyway, I get a chuckle from that, assume he’s BSing and board the flight. Dude ends up with the last row in coach and as we’re about to take off he pipes up… “Oh… oh… OHHHHHH… YEE HAWWWWWWWWWW!” Lasted a good ten seconds and made me appreciate the ascent. Dude had him a time!
  17. Had the opposite experience in Vegas a few weeks back. When the door opened, some wheelchair old stood up and stumbled their way to the door, but literally no one in the first 10 rows stood or moved. The bell had clearly rung, the door was open, attendants had their chat… we were clear. Anyway, the PA comes on and asks anyone needing wheelchair assistance to stay seated and the old sits back down. Still, no one moves. We had arrived over an hour late due to waiting on crew (all the while our plane sat on the tarmac behind our departing gate because SW refused to move an empty plane blocking out gate, so an extra 35 mins to deplane, but don’t get me started…) and I was boarding in 10 minutes. Anyway, it’s been 3-4 mins at this point and still not a soul in the first 10 rows had stood, moved into the aisles or gone for their bags, so I said fuck it. Announced that if no one was going I sure as shit was and began moving forward, only for all the seated tards to lose their collective shit. “How rude!!” Get with the program, people… it’s not my fault you forgot how to fly during COVID.
  18. As we walk in the door from dinner tonight… HER: “Babe, do you smell smoke?!” TACO: “Yes, did you leave a candle burning?” HER: “No…” 15 seconds later… HER: “Babe, get up here!” TACO: “Did you leave a candle burning?!” HER: “Yes…” Left it right next to a bag of Goldfish on her antique wood desk. The fish were a smoldering mess and the desk is fucked but we were VERY lucky it didn’t hit the fuzzy rug on the floor and take the whole damn house. At least we now know the batteries in the smoke detector needed replacing…
  19. Lol on the Mexican side, hot shot - Pretty sure between First Class, GE, Precheck and Clear I’m covered in the US.
  20. Couple questions for ya: - Right now our tests are 3 days before departure… that’s good, right? - How were the lines at customs? Hearing horror stories…
  21. Yeah that’s where my head is at too - Finished the night with the BO and wished I had picked something different, but that’s where our guests wanted to roll.
  22. So yeah, last night wasn’t bad:
  23. We got into some shit today… will post the lineup tomorrow… hope you all blew it out!
