Pretty sure I am going to hit plat this year... After 2 years of gold and year of silver

I'll quit if I ever hit diamond... I don't want to get on 140 delta planes in a year

Unless you are putting that towards your paying off/ buy your next I look at it as a loss

I hate putting miles on my jeep for work

I pissed off the TSA guy at FLL today...their golf bag check is an external screening that's done by hand. And I stood there for the 5 minutes watching him.

So 52 segments? You can find 8 segments for cheap.

yeah eff that

I did 112 or so segments 2 years ago and 104 last year. That was already enough for me

Golfer: I hit gold in july and don't have a single flight in my account booked and not sure I will for another month...it feels really weird. I'm driving somewhere next month for a week and working in BR the rest of the month.

4 hours is my general cutoff. Sometimes I fly at 4. I've flown Houston to Austin several times (3 hours). Got to get those miles and segments.

I'll fly DL when it's economical. But I have silver on united too for the rest of this year.

Oh yea, I get 14mpg but it's a new Tacoma 4x with expensive tires...it's a loss for sure. But I can jam my music...it's just the 8 airports, two rental cars...I guess I just need to get accustomed to it. Maybe I can fly in and in the same day, that'd be sweet. I need to find the meeting time and flight information before I decide.
