I'm outa here

In the morning, I'm off to my island paradise. Laptop's packed, with mini MIDI controller and a copy of Reaper. Wish me luck. And some work stuff, just for appearance's sake. MP3 player loaded up with music and podcasts plus my ATH-M50's for the ride. Aside from that one thing that I always forget, I'm set to go.

Checked my destination's temperature earlier today, it was a comfortable 77 degrees (25C). But that was at 4:00 AM.

Condolences, sadness, .....

and a little BIT OF JEALOUSY, that it's not me who is going to do all that!

All the best Mr bitflipper
Have a great and productive time!

Is this the move to the Philippines Bit? 

Not moving for good, just 3 weeks of relaxation and renewal. With all my back problems I considered not going this year - really not looking forward to standing in security lines - but I'm hoping the tropical heat will be therapeutic. Or maybe 16 hours on a plane will be the equivalent of a chiropractic adjustment, assuming the usual amount of trans-Pacific turbulence.

Also hoping the sequestration cuts don't start today. For those outside the U.S., or who just avoid the news, that's an automatic across-the-board spending cut by the federal government that kicks in when the political parties have been behaving badly and can't agree on a budget. 

It happens today. Of course, the cuts will be made in areas most likely to cause grief to the public, such as food inspection, airport security and air traffic controllers. Long lines and departure delays are being predicted at airports. So far, congress has not volunteered to pitch in by taking a pay cut.

Have a great trip, Bit.  

Have a great trip.  Write a song or two while you are gone.

 I thought we had another disgruntled person who was leaving from the title.

 Have fun in the sun Bit.

Have a fun and relaxing vacation. Post some scenic photos when you get back. 

To everyone freezing in North America... neener neener neener! Sitting here in shorts n sandals earing mangoes and watermelon - a pleasant 78 degrees at 6pm gentle breeze off the south china sea.

Bitflipper!! You bastard! Keep that to your self, ok??!! I'm freezing my nuts off and here you are braging about warm weather!!


OK, I've calmed down - just jealous

Sounds perfect! Enjoy the holliday and the warm weather. I'm heading your way soon, I'll be visiting Hong Kong and Singapore in a few weeks.

And sorry for calling you a bastard - you are not

Here's to happy times!

Nice!!  Good to see a fellow North Westerner get out of dodge for a while. Constant gray skies are hard on the soul.

Have fun Dave,

Hope the warmth does your body some good.

We are just starting to get what is hopefully our last snow storm for the year.

Im looking forward to getting my garden planted, a little sun and lots of fishing in
