“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. You’re about to embark on a journey of a lifetime.  So please put any wireless devices on Airplane mode and make sure your seat backs are in their upright position and your tray tables are up as we depart for this journey.

And we’re off!  The day has finally come to head down to Fort Lauderdale for training.  After a slight delay in Milwaukee with my departing flight coming in from Minneapolis we are finally wheels up.  The flight seemed quite short to LaGuardia, not even enough time to watch a whole movie in flight. LaGuardia was decent. Each spot to sit and eat had their own iPad to place your food order and there were plenty of apps to keep you occupied until your food arrives.  As expected, the airport food was mediocre and over priced, but none the less the service was good and nice to kill time before boarding the next flight.
The flight to Fort Lauderdale was only about half full so almost all of us (the ones sitting closer to the front anyways) had no one next to us and boy was the extra room welcomed.  This flight was longer, was able to get a couple great photos out the window of the plane during take off of the city of New York and also on our decent over Fort Lauderdale.  Extra time on the flight was useful in getting to watch a full movie and a quick nap.  As always the staff at Delta was amazing during both flights.
Made my way over to Hertz to pick up my rental. I’d like to say that everything went smoothly but that’s not the case.  Prior to leaving I contacted Hertz to verify if I would need the physical credit card in my hand that I used to hold my reservation or if the total rental would just be put directly on that card and I could be on my way. —I don’t want to travel with that card as it has quite a high credit limit on it so don’t want a lot of charges racked up should I lose it or it get stolen.— I was assured that because I was a Hertz Gold Club Member that I would not need to have the credit card with me and could just be on my way.  That in fact was not the case upon my arrival to the Gold Club Desk at the Airport. They said that they could not let me leave with a vehicle without physically swiping the credit card.  Luckily I had an extra one with me with enough of a balance on it to cover the whole rental for a month.  Finally got the car and headed to the hotel for the night to get some rest.
Sunday and I’m up and ready to check into my apartment for the month. I was told that there was still someone in the unit that I was going to be renting and it needed to be cleaned so I should go to lunch for an hour or so before arriving.  I decided to head straight for the beach.  Took a drive up the A1A (“Beach Front Avenue” lol) and took in all the sights along the way.  There was entirely too many people around to find a place to quick park and take some pictures and I wasn’t going to pay $10 (for the first hour) to park the vehicle for 15 min to take some pictures so I settled for just the mental images from my drive.
Finally got to my apartment (looks ghetto from the outside) and it is a nice cozy place with a huge bedroom, queen bed, full size dresser and a nice desk to sit down and get some stuff done (just missing the chair to plop my ass on).  All in all a nice little place to call home for the month. Just need to head to the grocery store to fill up the fridge and cabinets, unpack my clothes and finish settling in for the night before getting up early the next day to start my first day of classes.

Error 404: Blog Post Not Found??

Yes, you read that right, Blog Post not found. Rather posts, more specifically, NONE of them. I guess I finally fell into the category of people that should not be allowed to blog, or at least not use an app that is supposed to make all of this easier from my iPad.  Most of my posts are typed late at night, and no one wants to get an alert in the middle of the night that I made another post, so I would always schedule the post to be posted later the following morning at a decent time.  The only catch is that for some reason the year in the scheduler was set to 2020. *Insert Face Palm* That's right, all of my blog posts were typed and scheduled, but not for about another 2 years. I think it would be counterproductive to go and post ALL of them at the same time (even I would get annoyed if someone did that on a social media account that I was following). With that being said, I will not be posting the individual posts, but rather will paste highlighted parts at the bottom of future p

Wisconics

You've heard the term Ebonics, well here in Wisconsin we have Wisconics.  Everywhere I go people tell me that they can really tell that I have an accent.  While it's not as thick as those from the UP (Upper Peninsula of Michigan) or Canada ('eh), it is still distinguishable.  For those of you who are not familiar with how we speak in the midwest, or more specifically in Wisconsin I decided to compile a list of common words and phrases that we use and their meanings.  Hope you all get a good laugh and learn something from this. -You Guys Comin' Wit, Er No? You Guys Coming With, Or No? -- We want to know if you're going to come with us somewhere -C'mere real quick once Come Here Real Quick -- We want you to come over by us quickly. Who knows why we add the 'Once' at the end of it, we're obviously going to ask you to come back over again. -Stop-N-Go Lights Stop And Go Lights -- You might call them Stop Lights, but here in Wisconsin we're op

"Holy Schnikes" I'm a blogger!

For my first ever blog post I thought it only fitting to use a well known phrase from the movie Tommy Boy staring the late Chris Farley who is a Wisconsin Native himself in my title. I would like to welcome each and every one of my followers (even the ones who are secretly spying with prying eyes).  For those of you who don't know me I feel it only appropriate to disclose the following: *Disclaimer: You are reading this blog at your own risk.  You are not being forced to and are not in any way required to continue reading at any point in time.  This blog is not for those who are faint of heart, have a cardiac history, may be pregnant, suffer from rectal-cranial inversion (head up ass) syndrome, have thin skin, don't understand sarcasm, feel the need to be politically correct (it's Merry fucking Christmas) all the time, or require a participation trophy for every even that you participate in.  YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! Now that we've gotten that out of the way, "
