There was an older German guy in my aisle. I was pounding Molson Drys and he was downing Heinekens. He was kind of tsunting me, always a beer ahead of me it seemed like.
I eventually passed out and woke up to old boy's tray lined up with empties and him still going strong. 20yo me deffinitely couldn't keep up with a well worn German liver.

I’m still wondering if that soldier you met in MSP made it to the next leg.

I have to believe he did. He was on his way home. I can’t remember if it was for good or just R and R.

Boarded. On a 9MAX 737. Gives a whole new meaning to getting belted.

Other airport observations.
If half of all humans are female, why is there always a queue at their public restrooms? Does it take longer for them because they wash their hands?

Pushing back. Time to go dark.
As the fuselages are made here in Wichita, this one hits home!

My new company made it clear that 2 alcoholic drinks per evening meal was our allowance for expense purposes.
My issue on drinking in airports is that usually when I land I need to rent a car and drive somewhere. So the only time I remember actually drinking on a plane was a flight to Canada for a vendor sponsored fishing trip. The stewardess recognized we were a fun group of guys and comped us our drinks.

I had completed a Caribou hunt in AK, killed a couple of decent bulls. Horrible outfitter, no working stove or water filter, socked in by storms in tents I wouldn't have sent my daughter to Girl Scout camp in (and didn't).
She had a Mountain Hardware tent for GS camp, usually in the fall or spring in Montana, so anything goes, back when it was owned by, well the Mountain Hardware folks, not beancounters.
Finally made it back, shower, 2 G&Ts, and I woke up to "Last call for Seattle". So, yep, I could have been a statistic as a missed flight.

Itemized receipt, no alcohol. Our handbook says $30 a day for food but no one’s ever questioned that.

I wouldn’t work for the company I do today and have the career I do if it weren’t for talking to a stranger in an airport bar almost 12 years ago

How did the local drunk make it past TSA?
Guy who’s waiting for a date is a dork. Who decides on a date at a hotel bar?
