I’m on the fence, about 40hrs of travel including 22 in the air and being in a foreign country for the 1st time, not knowing crap about anything. All for 3days of BSing with the team and going out to dinner to stroke each others egos.

Sure it’s an all expense paid trip to Spain but I dont love being away from my family like that.
I have also been very frustrated with my leadership team lately and meeting up for dinner and drinks half way around the world just to hear them lie to me doesn’t sit well.

Too many drinks and I might have to find a new job on the way home.

Ugh…. Refundable travel has been booked
This makes me uncomfortable thinking about it...

I fly 4-6 times a year out of necessity...each time usually involves adult beverages...

Flying to Spain would be interesting...I am not sure how I would handle either as my longest flights have been 4-5 hrs across the US...

I just recently put in for a passport as I anticipate overseas travel sooner than later and want to be prepared, as of yet no trips planned...yet.

I don't like flying on planes that I didn't do the inspection on. (I'm a typical Midwesterner, I want to drive everywhere)

Re: Important

Nerd.

I think my MJ should be gone tomorrow, it was cool when I got it but the more I dug in I realized it was gonna be more than I had time to mess around with. Frame had been cut off then welded back on when the PO changed his mind. Only way I wouldve been confident wouldve been back halfing and I dont have the time at home, so maybe Ill get another MJ in due time.

BUT.... I have Pats old jeep back again. Time to toss on new header panel and start wheeling all the AZ trails around me. Glad to have a white jeep with AC because its really starting to heat up around here.

Everyone ready for Moab?

Bring it up here, we'll run Smasher Canyon. Pretty sure it's gotten more challenging since I last ran it and broke a main leaf. I have a few friends here that are into wheeling, but nothing that extreme

Ill toss the new cooling bits and water pump in this weekend, and see the next time I have a couple days to run up. Gotta get a few runs in before I put her under the knife for Moab.

I hate the grille. But when buying used it's hard to get away from.
A co worker put an angry grille on his 2 door a few moths ago and said I could have his stock one. Color matched and everything just waiting for him to bring it in.
