Off to Alabama...outstanding timing, eh?

[Burnham]

Not content to sit over here in beautiful sunny Oregon when the chance to flirt with a big mutha hurricane is in the offing, on Monday I fly off to Tuscaloosa to facilitate a FS treeclimbing instructor's workshop.

Actually, the workshop has been on the calendar for 6 months...I'm just lucky, eh?

Looks like I'll be on the eastern fringe at worst...but air travel may be a little bumpy. Hard to say though...could be windy and rainy...not the best conditions for training . I'll be there most of the week, fly home on Friday.

I should be able to log on, I'll have a laptop and my lodgings have wifi. I'll let y'all know how it fares.

Safe travels Burnham!

 

[Awsomeclimber]

Your students will be wrapped!! Enjoy..

 

[sawinredneck]

Seeing how there are no direct flights anymore, you will likely go through Cincinati, then down. You might go through DFW, but I doubt it wih the weather now.
Either way, I'm sure they will fly around most of it.
Have fun!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Dang primadonna! :what:

 

[Burnham]

Itinerary calls for change of plane in DFW, then into Birmingham...car rental and a 1 hr. drive to Tuscaloosa. We shall see.

Return is through Chicago.

Dang primadonna! :what:

This is what happens when you give 'em God-like status............

 

[Mr. Sir]

Why not? By Monday, Ike will be on his way to Canada!

 

[gf beranek]

You'll be flagging in the wind. What a workshop that'll be!

 

[Old Monkey]

You can pioneer tree climbing with kite surfing equipment.

 

[stehansen]

Good luck Burnham. Sure you don't want to drive?

 

[lumberjack]

Pshaw, sending a PM, T town is about 50 minutes from here and I'd like to meet Burn!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Have a good trip. Hope you don't struggle with the lingo there.

 

[Cobleskill]

Safe travels B.

Wonder how that kite surfer that plowed into a building is doing?

 

[vharrison]

Have a good trip. Hope you don't struggle with the lingo there.

Burn have fun, hope you don't get rained out.

 

[MasterBlaster]

If so, he can always watch TV!

 

[Al Smith]

Have a nice trip .If you like southern BBQ you might want to take the time to look up Dream Lands ,which is a chain . Several in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa . The famous Whistle Stop cafe of the movie Fried green tomatoes is also just outside of Birmingham .

I had the bright idea that Alabama was flat land like northern Ohio for some dumb reason .I was dead wrong because there is not one flat spot in Birmingham unless you make one .

 

[stehansen]

If so, he can always watch TV!

 

[Banned by Squirrels]

Have a good trip. Hope you don't struggle with the lingo there.

I can laugh because I've been there and know what he means...


Ditto, have a good one, a drive would be nice if you have the time to do it right.

 

[vharrison]

How is it going Burn?

 

[Burnham]

All is well, friends. Flights were fine, no problems with connections, flying weaqther was great. Birmingham and Tuscaloosa are having lower 70's and partly cloudy skies tonight...looking good.

No lingo troubles for me...I was born and raised down south.

Moved away on purpose, too!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sweet!

 

[Burnham]

Sent you a PM, Carlito.

 

[stehansen]

Glad you you made it there OK Burnham.

 

[lumberjack]

Sent you a PM, Carlito.

Yup, give me the word and it's full tilt boogy to the east.
