I'd assume it has something to do with the space shuttles. 
The Thunderbirds were GREAT today. They can climb straight up, 6 miles in 2 minutes. AWESOME!
19 more miles up and they'd be in a stationary orbit.
It was also the F15's last official flight today. It was pretty incredible to see these planes hoover

Are they "Aborting to Orbit" as in "Abort to Orbit"? Does Jimmy know what that means? HINT: It's similair to a "Trans Atlanta Abort". Sounds like you're peeved by the new Nevada smoking rules change. It's a great thing... See, if you give up cigs, a non-smoking place would be great.

In time, Lost Wages will become more and more smoke free. That be a very, very great thing. Yea, those flight teams (Thunderbirds and the Navy's Blue Angels) are fantasic. And I love it when they fly totally vertical. "Abort to Orbit" is what happens upon the launch of the Shuttle, when something nasty happens and they land at the "end" of the first orbit. I believe it usually means landing at the shuttles old landing spot in California. But may mean Florida.

The rehost project at Mgm...that would be what? September 1996 to December 1996...
I thought I had one brain cell for each day in my life, however, those are missing.

You didn't include the start and stop dates of the MGM Grand re-host project in the later half of 1997....

Jimmy... It was August 1997 to December 1997... It was one of the most influential days in the history of LV...

Did you stop after the two beers? And by "two beers", I assume you don't mean two six packs or two kegs.

Yep...thats all I had. I wanted something to smooth out all the expresso I'd been drinking.
Becky had a Mom's Apple Pie drink. She sucked it on down.
I had two beers with Frank a while back too.

I am so pleased you stopped at two... What did you do differently, that you didn't turn those two into 100 or more? So, what is the word from Frank McDonald?

Woof..... There goes another one of my "favorite" old hotel/casino on the Lost Wages Strip. A sad day. Why did you let it happen, Jimmy Cutlar? You probably funded that $4 billion to the builders of the Echelon complex. Bite, Bite, Bite anybody who does that. 

Ya know, I helped install their Race and Sports book!!! It seems like a million years ago.
And I told the Board of Directors, yoose guys, yoose doos what ever yoose wants...money aints no object.
I think Stardust was the home of Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, the guy the movie "Casino" was really about.
Ahhhh, I do I remember those days now.

And it didn't cost anything.

Just imagine if you were driving a Fererri Enzo. Or is that a Enzo Fererri? Like the guy who crashed one into a telephone pole or something in Malibu earlier in the year at 162 mph. The car was valued at $1 million. Note: The key word here is "was"....

In that little Mustang (or should I call it, the 97FM...I'll explain that later), it wouldn't much matter if I was going 180mph or 20mph. If I hit a telephone pole, I'd be in little bitty pieces either way.
I said 97FM instead of 97 Ford Mustang, BECAUSE, buzz words are still everywhere. Sonny keeps talking about the EDR. A fight happened in the EDR. He hates the Frontiers EDR. Every time, I ask him, whats the EDR again? He says
"The Employee Dining Room, or cafeteria". And what is it, a 45 is a pair of pliers...
LOL

I left home at 11:30 today, went up I515 through the spaghetti bowl to Summerlin Pkwy, to I215, then to Red Rock Casino on Charleston Blvd, to meet Paul to get GMas extra car keys. Then, I drove  to Decatur and Charleston to give GMa those car keys. Then I picked up Jennifer and Renee at Petsmart and took them home. I got to the Albertsons store near Sam's Town at 12:40. That's 44 miles of driving in Vegas, with 3 stops in a little over an hour.
Not bad!!!

To watch a football game with Bobby Shannon, someone I worked with at Northrop, and back in 1999/2000 in Boston, MA. We're cheering for opposing teams, so if his team wins, I am grabbing his 50" Sony High Def LCD 1080p TV and making a quick bolt for the door as I head back to Altamonte Springs.

And he's working at your favorite place, Raymond James.

Thats cool. So, he's a Tampan now?

Butt Dust is the same thing as Dingleberries....

This is just too weird!!!! Leave it to Dennifer and GrandMal...

I looked everywhere on the internet and "he is receiving and not deceiving" doesn't mean squawt.
And that's all I wanted to know, was what does that expression mean.
Didn't mean no kind-a harm to no one. haha.
Its like the first time someone told me someone else was getting pickled.
When I asked them what that meant, they said, "getting drunk".
And that was basically a good enough definition.
Speaking about weird sayings...Jennifer asked us if Squirt was FIXED
I told her, if she meant did we destroy his ability to reproduce, no.

That's because you have not seen the "King Mike (Ginsburg)" bible. It's an old, vintage 1973 IBM Fortran IV manual.

I'm howling at the rain... I am going to hope for minus 15 degree weather in Lost Wages for the coming week. Hot cocoa? How about Warm Brandys? Sounds better to me.

So, I need to sort these blog entries down by the server's date/time, instead of the requesters date/time....lol.

Good ole Sly Stallone... Oops, I mean Rambo... Well, that is weird to hear that it's almost down to nothing. But like most things, it never lasts for ever. Or even a long time, sometimes. Give your resume a try at Inrigers and Rambo (TSI). Well, visit Finnegans another day soon, when you "know" Frank will be there. And let me know what he has to say, and how he's doing. HOWL!!!
