I was going over American Airline's policies on flight delays, cancellations and overbooking flights to the point passengers are either voluntarily or involuntarily booted off of flights. I just want this info in case something happens on the way over there to AZ considering 2 layovers and considering the reports of airlines canceling flights, delayed flights and the constant overbooking. . Coming home is just go to Dallas and connect with the smaller aircraft to the regional airport. I won't be involuntarily booted off of a flight, I'll agree to it as long as the compensation reflects the inconvenience. I'm in no hurry. The park will be fine as long as I'm not gone too terribly long. James volunteered to help out if anything goes wrong as well.
I don't much care for the overbooking because that's how they cram flights completely full. Corporate greed is everywhere, airlines are no exemption. They cram seats in there to the point anyone with long legs - me - are actually in pain by the time a shorter flights lands. If I had to go on a long flight, I'd have to get up and walk around frequently. It's really just that they freely admit they have those cabins filled with seats to the point you are literally crammed in there with barely enough room to even get into your seat. And if the passenger next to you as "extra pounds", you are going to be wearing them. More comfortable seating was double the price. These flights are only a few hours plus minutes, I will manage.
Further, if you say anything about that other person's flab resting on your body, you are shamed and excoriated for being intolerant and bigoted.
Uh, no, I just don't want that kind of contact with a complete stranger. Most people don't. The people that engage in that shaming aren't the people on the receiving end of it. I would rather deplane, actually, and take another flight. I've had this happen before and I was very uncomfortable, to put it mildly. One of the reasons I never sit in the center seat. And if I seat at the window, I can force my body up against the cabin wall in attempt to get away from the other person's - skin and sweat.
Although, the reason I like the window seat is to see the views.
Anyway, I am going to try and do carryon only. That saves their rather high checked-baggage price. If someone wants to send something home, I'll package it and send it to myself, lol. 4 days worth of clothing should easily fit into a carryon bag, right? lol. I just wanted to take one of my pistols with me, but to do that you have to put it into checked baggage. Phoenix isn't the nice place it once was in the 70's.
Today's goal: simply keep working on the insulation. I should be able to get close to done or at least 3/4's done by the end of today. My sleep was sporadic, but I'm rested enough to work. I would work regardless of sleep. Oh and I need to get that grass killer out and do that all over again. That doesn't take more than an hour tho.
Next up after insulation is the new vanity. I'm just focused on the insulation because it's going to start getting hot out and that heat will directly transfer into the shed without proper insulation. Not to mention the fact that I have enough or almost enough - not sure yet - insulation to cover the entire shed from ceiling down to the floor. I may even be able to keep the AC on in there continuously if the insulation is sufficient enough to keep it cool in there without the compressor constantly on. We'll see.
Finances. Well, the intake should be enough for over 3 grand a month. I'd say more but the variable of people coming and going makes for inconsistent revenues. You don't know if you'll stay full or close to full or not. There are people coming today that will ad to the account and then later on this month that will add a lot more to the account. The travelers are quite the variable and the people calling for a place for - right now - is completely out of range to predict. I didn't make a mistake trying to fill all the lots tho, I'm still struggling to get the 13th filled up with a long termer.
Well that's enough. I need to get ready to leave.
G'day

Some free advice. Suck it up and check a bag each way.
Not only can you take your gun, but with American you well may have your carryon confiscated at the gate.
I'm thinking about it. It is likely I will get stuff sent home with me and it's not like I paid anything for this flight anyway. I have had some experiences with American in the past. They are the only one flying in and out of there to Dallas - or if there is another company, it doesn't show up on any of the searches I have done. I used to like flying Southwest but their reputation has soured drastically with thousands of cancelled flight on certain dates in the recent past that I don't want to have to deal with. The nicety with them is free checked baggage. The bad part is driving to Dallas...
