Yep I still get airsick..... but luckily it was on the TransSate leg of my trip home. Which is ok because their flight attendants are mean, and not very pretty.

It is embarrassing given my occupation when I am on our own SkyWest flights and I begin to get sick. But for the most part those special ladies (and sometimes guys) usually laugh and shrug it off. But I did not get sick today which was nice because Debbie (i think her name was) was working extra hard taking care of all of us. She sort of smelled liked a Sausage McMuffin which was extra cool.

Even the yoke actuator ( pilot for you none airplane types) he offered to let me ride jump seat, but I said thanks and declined. Usually I would say yes but I was tired and those jump seat are very uncomfortable.

It is 80 degrees hear at home today, might snow back in MKE......boy am I sure glad to be home.

Years ago I used to be somewhat a baseball nut. It sorted of started innocently I was a kid hanging out with my grandfather who was a big Giants fan, he happen to be watching the Giants play the Dodgers; so being the punk little kid I was, I started rooting for the Dodgers.

It was a pleasant little rivalry that last for years and it provided the base for some fantastic memories. We used to go to games, watch games, and just talk about games for hours. It was all fantastic and one of my most favorite childhood memories.

He did a few years ago... along with whatever interest I had left in baseball.

Well a yesterday some of the locals dragged me to a Brewers game. I went not expecting much other than a butload of expensive beer and some semi decent overpriced hot dogs.

Well not only was the beer rather cheap my local friends made sure I never saw the bottom of my glass and after two rather delectable hot dogs I saw a fantastic game in which the Brewers won the Philles in a 5-4 nail bitter.

All in all I had a great time and enjoyed myself, and sometime in the 5th inning a felt a nice pleasant shiver. It may have been nothing or it may have been the beer, but I couldn't help but feel that my grandpa was their with me beer in hand cheering on the second home run of the game.

The week shoots by like a drive by. I sleep not at all and work comes quick. Okay... Maybe I screwed up when I said that I thought Dakota Fanning was Hot a few weeks back... I was thinking of Famka Jansen when I said it. Both got odd, but cool names. That may have been wrong, but am I wrong in thinking my niece Monica is kinda Hot? "Hot" in purely visual terms, not like "Bangable" hot...Oh forget it! I give up on you people!

My sister is not as sexy as me, so if any of you know a single chick that wants cute kids... I'm the dude! I have great seed. Because my sisiter is engaged. This is Callie and she and I share the same DNA, so it's possible that I could have beautiful babies. You could be my Natalie Portman and being a Leo, I could be your Annikin and Vader!

I ordered my Wookie costume just in time for Fresno's 123 Degree May summer!

I am so bored.... I took 2moro off. I am going to the Harley-Davidson factory to maturbate.... then I will tour the Miller Brewery for the free beer. The Brewers are playing the Philles tommrow so I will catch a game with some of the local chaps.

I have not been to a baseball game in years.... I so want to buy one of those big foam fingers.

(Even more of) what I have learned so far

"Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand and "lollipop" with your right.

The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.

The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes).

There are only four words in the English language that end in "dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.

There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious."

Yeah, I'm bored... But it's Sunday and there is a CSI marathon on Spike TV and I think it is pretty cool! So what have I got to complain about?

Well...

I want to go home

People can be so strange.

Ever have people ask you whether you've filed your Taxes yet? They're just hoping that you'll say, No, so they can "One-Up" you by saying, "I did mine Months ago!"

I absolutely hate people when they get that Holier than Thou look just because they woke up earlier than you. They look at the clock and turn to you smirking, "Well, Good Morning."

I hate that commercial where there's a hot girl with a guy and she says, "I take it because I have Genital Herpes..." And her dude pops up and goes, "...And I don't!" Like, good for you pal, rub it in! Hurt her a little more!

I hate Cops that pull you over and ask, "Do you know why I stopped you?"

Can't stand women that flip out thinking you're staring at their boobs, when you're just trying to read the text on that oh so funny t-shirt they bought at Urban Outfitters.

Okay, I'm done for now.

Heading Home.....

Well my time hear in MKE is coming to end, and I am most certainly looking to heading home. A few of the MKE boys came by the hotel and took me to the Miller Brewing Factory which was really cool. Over the years I have drank enough of their fine product so I was quit impressed to see where it all came from. Latter then we drove over and saw Lake Michigan which the thing I found most impressive there, was that Milwaukee dumps over 1 billion tons of raw sewage a year into that lake which ironically is one of Chicago's main sources of drinking water....wow that explains so much.

So anyway back at the hotel for a little nap then off to the hanger to help out one last night. Then about 6am 2moro if all goes well I will hope on a flight and head home with a 45 minute lay over in Denver. Hopefully I will be pulling the jeep into the driveway about 12:30 and be on my motorcycle and riding hard by 1...

So long to the delicious chocolate chip cookies which are quite addicting... and hello again ton the stale pretzels.
