I have two free tickets for the USS Midway Museum if anyone is interested. I would prefer they go to someone visiting from out of town though.

Tickets are $16 bucks if bought online. Since the golf outing has been so well received I could be convinced to shitcan that idea and do the ship tour instead. Or both I guess as long as the timing worked, but I can play golf anytime... Look me up.

Did someone get here early? I got home from work today and there's a 533 in the side driveway. I don't mind but it would have been nice if you had left a note. :dunno:

They ran out of Hillary signs and figured that's the only way to get visibility on your property.

I checked the security footage and I'm pretty sure it's another out of town Board member at the wheel of the getaway car.
I feel like a mushroom.

Is this for real? Somebody just dumped a e28 in your side yard unannounced? :rofl: Did they at least leave a key and #? Reads like a super raffle item. hahaha

Pamela says it's "Tecomaria capensis" and that other than visuals, it contributes nothing.

I predict more early "pop-ins" and pre-Paddy Day frolicking :laugh:

Does Inez still come twice a week for cleaning services? Will she be at the opening ceremonies again Friday night?

That's fucked. She should be able to be comfortable with her god given body at her place of employment. :rofl:

If you do cancel the golf could you let me know? I was planning to get a room Thursday night so I would make tee time. Otherwise, I would only book a room for Friday...

Ya know, that does look kind of interesting. Me for the tech, my wife more for the history. Looks like it's self guiding so I suppose any time is open, but is there a set time? Assuming we hit town in time. :cool: I know, I'll just drive faster. :D Meeting time and place or just exchange #'s?

Yes, it's a museum and there is no tour guide per se. My tickets say the hours are 10:00 to 5:00 with the last admittance at 4:00.

I'm kind of winging it on this trip. I didn't make any hotel reservations, so I am not locked into any time schedule. I am leaving Denver late Wednesday night and expecting to be around Phoenix late afternoon Thursday. I will either stop in Phoenix for Thursday night or keep running to San Diego.

Is there any plan for those around Thursday evening? I could possibly move my schedule up and make there early evening on Thursday for actual St Paddy's Day celebration.
