Iam sorry buddy you are going thru all that...I can appreciate how p/o you are....I wonder if in the future you can check or verify that you made the f/n list ? The dhs stuff is getting intense....but with the threat that is always around, the systems that are in place arent working good enough. You are not the first of this crap, do be careful bud,it wouldnt bother them at all to lock you up.....then it would take Hilary to spring your but...  I know this aint funny , just keep notes on everything man,it takes people like you to voice this stuff ,the systems need tweaking for the good of the legitimate traveler ......the big bean counters on the other end of your gig should have a voice , they should make sure your ducks are in single file before you warm up a seat on a freekin plane.....this is a perfect  situation .Good luck bro !

Dude... Thanks for the encouragement... but after flying 5500 miles my arms are tired and my fingers have wind burn... not much to hold on with... j/k, thx and I am Quote:
Fortunatly for me, when the need arises... I have the ability to write letters that are hung out on the edge, make sense, and do not give any ammunition to the opposition to throw back at me... and for good measure, I usually let my wife preview them for differing opinion... She is an administrator and can pick up on comments that are a little too sharp or derogatory.... She hates to write and admits I am better at it than her, but she is a great sounding board... My intention is to open the eyes of some of the higher ups that are more concerned with holidays and rig contracts than the little guy in the field.... Little guy in the field = the money makers.... the ones that keep the machinery running...literally... Ranting vents over... Hi All...

Hey Boe,
Right before I left to come down here, or rather the last couple of days prior to coming, my transmission was making enough noise that a deaf person would hear it... I was afraid to go very far from the house, not for it breaking all the way, but for stranding me... yet.... I still took it to a local meet about 50 miles from my house... and we did and ad/hoc autocross...It's still running, but I bet a dollar to a doughnut, that when I get back home, I'll be able to get it into the shop for a Transmission, Clutch and throw-out bearing replacement... I have no doubt about it now.... Tech-know-nothing dude can't possibly not hear it now.... Woo Hoo....

The logistics person down here was trying to blame Houston Travel, and then she said the wrong thing, which is the real reason there was a problem at all...."Carnival" Carnival is going on and these people loose their freaking minds... kinda like Rhamadan in Egypt... many of the locals in both cases call in sick, or just flat refuse to come to work... and nothing is done about it...cause it's Carnival... or Rhamadan... or _________ . When I was working in Egypt, we had to literally force an employee to go to the galley to eat or he was fired... Guy was falling down from fatigue and hunger since it was only, oh, IDK, about 115 degrees and he had not eaten during daylight hours for over a week...Knuckleheads.... And yes, from now on, when I get my itenerary, I will be forwarding it to anyone that could be in the line of responsibility and will have the automatic reciept verification attached to it... so, if they deny ever seeing it it's shame on them... And while the lady in travel that handles my rig is out on vacation, she was the one that originally set it up and she has all relevant persons for a rig in a batch address and so if one gets it, all get it....  CARNIVAL.

Hmmm, nervous and stressed out... over a trip??? Roberts rules for travel preparation.... (I didn't follow all of these the last few days....:( 1.) If you gotta do it before you leave, and it doesn't get done a. it will be there when you get back cause sure as hell, no one else is going to do it... b. If you go on the trip and come back from the trip, and still have a job and family, then it didn't need to get done before you left in the first place... 2.) You need... a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, a change of undies, and a passport (if you are leaving the country) The rest is just want stuff...Caveat... Do not pack medications in a checkbag...If your flight gets cancelled and they send you to a hotel, you will not get your bags back...It's happend to me five times already... first time my meds were in the checked baggage...not since...but in each and every case, I had my toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, a change of undies, and my passport 3.) If you forgot it and you can't go back and get it, forget it or buy another one when you get there... I forgot my puter charger this trip, found one in the airport in Dallas, now I have two... and this one is smaller then my original one...Bonus is it's lighter... 4.) Know where you are going, and preferrably print the location out prior to departure with a picture if available, if traveling to a foreign country, they can see or read much more than I can speak of their language...Re-affirmed this week to me... I got comfortable and COMPLACENT in my travel arrangements cause they had been going so well... 5.)If you have to take your cellphone, it's not really a vacation... exceptions to this are in case of leaving children behind.... I prefer in most cases to leave them contact information of where I am going...If there is an emergency, you can't get home any faster than if they call you and leave a message or speak directly to you via a hotel phone... You can't speed up the airline schedule...Harsh sounding but sooo true.... 6.) If you pack it, plan on carrying it or dragging it.... I went on a "vacation" years ago with super packer, not the wonderful person I am now married to... Superpacker emptied the closets... had three large suit cases and two smaller shoulder type bags... Oh, this didn't include the toiletries bag... She had frigg'in shoes for every color combintion of clothes she could come up with... We went to Cozumel....a beach...(shoes????  ) it wasn't a vacation for me....

I just got off the phone with a GM survey lady.....she asked "can you describe your experience with your new Camaro "
I said sure, if I ever get to drive it....the weather has had me screwed since I bought it.....seven weeks and six hundred miles... I said I climb in ,start it up and her cackle strikes a grin on my face.I turn the stereo down to nothing,the acceleration between gears,the growl and cackle of her exhaust is exciting ,the tight steering,the smell of the fresh leather,and the thrill in the seat of my pants is almost as good as sex. When at highway speed ,I will turn the stereo up and it might be sum where between Toby Kieth and Pink Floyd....it sounds good with the cd player. She said ,would you like me to right that down.....I said " baby you asked about my experience driving the car....well, I just told ya " she laughed like hell and said I am sure GM will be gald to hear of your experience.
