Flying itself is fun, it's dealing with all the BS surrounding it, like having to be there early, waiting, waiting, waiting, security checks, all the weird rules like not being able to bring outside food or drinks etc... and of course nothing ever goes right. Flights get delayed, cancelled, luggage gets lost etc... It seems any time someone I know travels by plane something goes wrong. Makes me glad I don't really travel much lol. Too much stress for nothing imo.

You have obviously not spent enough time in airplanes. I have flown first class for 15hrs and that was barely tolerable.

That actually doesn't look too bad leg room wise, but 15hrs sitting would be pretty terrible no matter what. :eek: Do they at least let you walk around to stretch your legs on a long flight like that? My experience was mostly on a Dash-8 for like an hour or so.

Yes you get to walk about. The chair flattens so you can lie down and sleep. Not as comfortable as a real bed, but at least it is fully horizontal. Yes, you get pillow and blanket.

One of the cats just commited a war crime in the litter box. Woah.

I had to move the air scrubber in the hallway since the smell was escaping the room faster than it can keep up with. I still need to finish that. There's a few tweaks I want to do with the air outlet baffle system, and then paint it and put it on wheels.

Sounds like a reverse first world problem to me.

Been looking at LTO drives again, I sometimes spiral into that then decide not to.

Well I'm starting to think I might pull the trigger on a LTO-6 drive. There's a listing on ebay right now for under 1k.

My backup strategy right now is not the greatest and been meaning to improve it.
