G'day As a kid, I had a Matchbox model of the Studebaker Wagonaire that fascinated me. The rear roof slid back and, very desirably, the model came with a small plastic figure of a man aiming a gun and a separate figurine of a gun dog. For a 6 year old, the ultimate in desirability. I have to admit that the detail on the roof of the model was better than the real thing. Cheers Graham |

Trying to catch up also. Very busy at work lately, was in Santa Clara last week on business and on vacation this week. We will be going to Cape May for a few days and the trip is forcing me to finally change the timing belt, plugs, etc on the Sienna. Steve - sounds like you had a great time. Hope you weren't sourcing a competitors system.  As for airlines, I've become fond of flying JetBlue, however they are not international. Frogs? This year I find myself having to mow around them as they are all over the place here and my daughter would be mad at me if I ran one over. Makes for a funny "mow pattern" in the grass when done. Hope everyone is enjoying the Olympics. Greg |

Replying to: jfl (Aug 15, 2004 2:16 pm) That is the really funny part about this trip. American is the companies partner airline, and has most of my FF miles. I broke ranks to fly Continental, as they had a direct flight to Amsterdam, thereby cutting over 3 hours off the travel time. I love getting the miles, but air travel has become such a pain, I didn't want to add the complication of another stopover in Europe. With the help of our travel agent, I got a seat in the 'sacred' first 7 rows of Continental's coach section (power outlet, maybe a little extra leg room). From there I sweet talked an agent, who made my wish come true! I believe she put me on 'upgrade standby'. I was issued a boarding pass with my pre-assigned coach seat (17f). When I arrived at my seat, another agent was waiting for me, and escorted me to Row #1.... Cannot beat that for service!!! Moral of the story - always be nice to these people. Dealing with the public can be rough, and airline workers are under unusually high pressure these days. A little kindness in response goes a long way. Greg: Sorry about that, but you probably heard the score on this one from your colleagues. Still love me? Steve |

Thanks for the kind thoughts as you visited the Studebaker National Museum. I can't believe I haven't been there yet; maybe when my little guy is a little older and we can drive or fly with a change of planes. Kind thoughts go out to you as well as you deal with family issues. My parents have seen us three times since our son was born - they came up here twice, we went down there once - and they are always misty-eyed whenever they must part from their only grandchild. Makes me a little misty-eyed too; I never realized I was such a softy. Ed |

Jim: I know about getting roped into FF miles. Here, UA is still the predominant carrier and with our company no longer supporting international business class, those economy plus seats are a must! Steve: Yup, when the flight isn't oversold or fully booked, the ground crew has quite a bit of leeway with who gets to sit where. It also helps when you're travelling with a group of people from the same company and a number of them have "elite" FF status. Ken |

Replying to: goneskiian (Aug 05, 2004 11:17 am) I know we have a lot of tribal casinos over here, but so do you guys! Yes, I do get over there once in awhile, usually for a Mariners game. We'll keep that in mind should the opportunity arise. Darling daughter & I are making a whirlwind trip next week (26/27) Just got back from 10 days in camping paradise  Priest Lake State Park, ID. Sounds like I'm glad I missed the upgrade  Back to catching up on posts and laundry! Cheers! Paul

Replying to: hammerhead (Aug 16, 2004 11:33 am) I don't know how we came to start calling it that. I don't know that it's because of the presence of casinos or not. Maybe it's more to do with how hot it can get in the summer. Hmmmm, Priest Lake sounds fantastic. Wife and I will be heading out on vacation this weekend. Passing through Spokane on Sunday the 22nd on our way to Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, WY and then eventually to Denver for a couple days. Should be quite a road trip. Cheers! -Ian

Was someone looking for a maintenance coupon last week? Maybe the software hiccup ate the post - I finally found mine in one of my piles and it's available. Steve, Host |

Replying to: goneskiian (Aug 16, 2004 12:28 pm) Priest was fantastic... nice beach, great campground, wonderful people you meet. Kids had a blast, I actually got caught up on some reading! If you have time on your way through, let me know. I'm working the 22nd, but the station is just a stone's throw from exit 296. Free tour! Cheers! Paul
