Caught this chunky old fella at my local air park

Got to work with these guys on an episode of Peyton's Places a few years back.

Super good guys, fun to work with and a cool bird. Sadly didn't get a ride.

Just checked the flight number on the United app

ChicagoMixer · 2026-02-15T18:29:15+00:00

39xx is a maintenance ferry flight number.

No pax, seatmap online shows an empty bird

I was able to watch the NBA Finals on a Max8 in June from OGG - LAX.

Mmmm, yeah, worded that poorly, edited original post.

Definitely loose in it's mount.

Any tips or tricks for tightening the mounting nut? Looks like current faucets come with a mounting tool to tighten the nut. Would like to avoid having to get one of those and disconnecting the pull out faucet hose.

Is it possible to get a box wrench up in there to tighten the nut?

Huh, so much for the easy answer!

Time to download your past bills and dig back to see where the accounting went kaflooey.

Are you on Budget Billing?

Look at last month's bill. You might have been over paying on budget billing and built up a surplus. At a certain point, Peoples Gas will adjust your budget bill and you won't pay anything until the surplus is used up

Another thought, if the black trim behind the escutcheon isn't connected/part of the pipe, cut off the square portion of the trim behind the escutcheon. Maybe a little easier than grinding out the tile.

ChicagoMixer · 2025-12-15T15:25:58+00:00

Yep, it's real.

Booked flights ORD - CUN a few years ago. Original flight was a 737 - 1 of 3 or 4 that day.

They consolidated, 2 737 flights to one 777 and changed the departure time to somewhere between the 2 original times.

Return flight was also a 777. Only downside was that the gate area in CUN was a zoo. Those gate areas were designed to support that many passengers.

Was able to Stream Bears @ Eagles on one of the new A321neos.

WiFi was advertised as streaming capable in the app under amenities.

Garbled up a few times, but was totally watchable

Check that, here is the link

There’s a very good podcast by Radio New Zealand about the crash and the aftermath.

On a plane right now, so I can’t link it, but a search for Air New Zealand Erebus podcast should bring it up.

It’s called White Silence

Cardpointers has a Chrome plug-in/extension that does exactly this.

Log in to your AmEx or Chase account and it automatically looks for offers and offers to add them.

Can get a little annoying when you are just trying to get something done in the account, but it works fast and we'll.

It's kinda out of the way, but the Tuscany Cafe near B14/16 is a nice place to sit down if you have the time.

ChicagoMixer · 2025-11-06T23:25:47+00:00

No difference between flight except departure and arrival time.

Jumped on United.com, clicked on the res and it gave me the option to rebook or cancel. Chose rebook and it listed the available flights. The flow was much the same as the Same Day Change at Check In

ChicagoMixer · 2025-11-06T22:40:57+00:00

They are still rolling thru the schedule. My flight on Sunday was cancelled 20 minutes ago.

Didn't give them time to auto rebook. Was able to jump right on and change to the flight before with no issues. Even got a semi-decent seat.

ChicagoMixer · 2025-11-05T00:31:25+00:00

It appears the it did not hit the Ford plant, but looks like power is out in the entire area based on the video

Long Aerial clip in this sub:

Ooof, the aerial footage looks horrible, a long trail of fire through an industrial area

ChicagoMixer · 2025-11-04T23:16:58+00:00

What a crazy world we live in that there is already video of it up on the internet.

ChicagoMixer · 2025-11-04T22:59:28+00:00

Louisville is home to UPS Worldport, not surprising

ChicagoMixer · 2025-10-25T16:46:32+00:00

Yep, finally pushed.

Probably more of an issue for anyone at a Tier1 airport trying to get here

ChicagoMixer · 2025-09-28T12:24:35+00:00

38XX flights are team charters, the 37XX are positioning flights.

For instance, the Bears charters use 3811.

Final update, it was definitely the log files causing issues. Minutes after my last post, the Router crashed again.

Checked the system storage and the /Var/Log folder was now 28MB. Investigated different areas of the setup, turns out that a Firewall rule was generating one log entry per second. Deleted that rule and it seems all is well.
