Flight tomorrow cancelled. Had me switch to Monday. That one got cancelled. After waiting on hold for over an hour, I got them to re-route me, but I fly MSP to Dallas tomorrow at 6pm, land in Dallas at 8pm, fly Dallas to Miami Monday a trip 6am, then Miami to Costa Rica.

Thanks @GTO
I'm sure we all feel bad about you having to go to Costa Rica.
 
Report from Hilton--Clone Cones remain $5. Tonight you could pick up Junior Cyclone Club shirts and lanyards (actual cards were mailed) before volleyball. They had free Clone Cone vouchers for each kid until they ran out. Picking up 4 shirts, got 4 free Clone cones. I had 1 kid with me. I gave away 2 of the vouchers as I was standing in line to get mine.

For anyone who follows ISU volleyball: it is a darn good thing Grace did not leave. When she is on, she pounds that ball. In the first set she had 6 kills. Jess Schaben is playing a lot more back row/defense and did a great job. They were getting the freshmen some playing time, Piper has a very different setting style than Harris.

Grace looked awesome in the match against Minnesota this spring. Think it is going to be huge for the team that she did not leave.

watched last night and bits today as we were to and from an event. Grace was excellent. Was surprised that Jess wasn't much front row - not sure if that's intentional rest or just not quite back to 100% or what. She's definitely getting the digs though!

She still had some awesome kills, seemed to be playing all the way around. She is doing a very different serve, too. There actually weren't too many service errors it seemed.

Yeah, Grace was absolutely punishing the ball when we saw their scrimmage earlier this summer.
 
meanwhile, Wisky has a girl playing who is 6 foot 8. :eek: I think she just stands there to block. No jumping necessary.
 
Watching "Elian" on CNN about the Elian Gonzalez situation in the late 90s/early 00s. Don't remember a ton about the situation, but one thing I can tell you is, watching some of these interviews, it's confirmed that you do NOT get in the way of an angry Hispanic woman.

Tempted to embed the Robot Chicken short on Walt Disney and Elian but probably too gross for CF. :rolleyes:

Dunkirk is a pretty good movie. It's been a long time since I've been to a movie with that little dialogue. Good flick though.

Well get a bonus day of work tomorrow.

BC if you and the wife are bored tomorrow night you should show up in MC and do the bike ride. It's taco truck night.
 
In Milwaukee for the weekend. Came to the Milwaukee Brat House. They give you two 10oz glasses when you order a beer. Shift change happened while I was eating, went from cute bartenders to a sausage fest.


Brat is basically a sausage, you're at a brat house, so you're at a sausage house. What part of sausage fest surprised you?

My biggest issue with bike rides...............I no longer own a bike. I always ride the wife's bike when I feel like it. I'm secure enough to ride women's bikes. Taco truck sounds good though.

Not judging though. Cause taco truck and all.

Had people being loud outside my room last night between 12 and 3. Going to complain and see if I can get something taken off my bill.
To be fair, you should have complained between 12 and 3 so they could - you know - do something about it. At this point it just looks like trying to get a discount on your bill.

Also to be fair, If it had been really loud INSIDE your room last night would you be offering to pay more?jimlad.png
