BUFF - Big Ugly Fat F*cker = B-52. I worked with a few ex-Air Force Mechanics, that's what they always called the airplane.
My bro just got hired back after being laid off a year ago. Copper prices are headed back up again, hopefully to stay.
No lunch, can't leave the building till 6, just lots of coffee and mabye some pop-corn later on.

No lunch  what ya do brown bag it? Did that big snowstorm keep ya busy and did it help your lake levels any? Ours are starting to creep up alittle but still in drought conditions, we haven't had decent rain for 5 years.

No kidding, that's just to cool. Â I don't have any flying stories like that. Â Must have been a switch from going Mach 1 in an F100 to flying scheduled airliners!!
No brown bad. Â During the week, we order out for lunch, but this place is locked down on the weekends. Â Just hit the snack machine once in a while and drink lots of water.
That being said, how was lunch, a burger sounds pretty good right now.
We got a little snow as far as I know, I was out in Vegas last week. The big snow in Denver last month was on the wrong side of the divide to help us, though the February and March storms helped us out quiet a bit. Hopefully we will get a few more storms in the next couple of months, run-off doesn't start around here till about the end of May. The local lakes should come back up this year, though they may not fill all the way.

Yeah, now I am, thanks.
Just kidding. Doin' the atkins thing huh? I could skip the sweets and stuff, but potatos and beer would be hard to give up. There's nothin' better then a big steak, baked potato, and a cold bud (high test, not bud lite) at the lake.
There, now were even.

Apache is up by globe, right? If it is, I've flown over it a few times on my trips to Tucson.
I went to Roosevelt about 10 years ago with some friends from Pheonix. Nice and warm, a little crowded though.
I guess I'm a little spoiled. There have 4 lakes no more than an hour from the house, and Powell is about 3 hours from here (the north end of the lake at least). I can't wait till I can get the boat in the water again.
As far as the time difference, up till a week ago, we were on the same time as you, but we change to daylight savings. I sure do like the long evenings, but hate the time change.

The one I'm thinking of is south of San Carlos (I think that's the town), it isn't fead by the Salt River I don't think.
Globe looks like it could be interesting on a Friday night, only been through there a few times though. Pics would be cool, I'll do the same when boating season starts.
I'm out of here for now, need to get ready for shift change. Enjoy that steak, KC.
