    I'm at the Albany New York international airport. Which is just slightly larger than a postage stamp and more TSA than travelers I think.
    Had the awesome opportunity to be fully searched and swabbed through security.... They might send me for a prostate exam to complete the physical. :unsure:
    Oh well, increased security I guess is a good thing, or maybe I just look dangerous .Haha.

    And now the fight is delayed so have to take an alternate. Got here at 7:30 am and the flight leaves at 1pm. :facepalm:
    With the layover in Chicago it'll be 16 hrs from leaving the hotel until I land in OC. :gag: ( of no more delays .)
    And all this on 3 hrs sleep .

    Oh well, so post a lot guys, please, I have time to kill!

    Could've flown though Newark.... But nooooo, live and learn.
    On the plus side, had first class ride from Rutland Vermont to Albany.
    Check the pics below, pretty cool, all underground.

    We're going to Vt in June to visit family. Flying in/out of Logan. Three hour drive, but direct flight from LAX is a plus!

    Is there any way to get a tour of the quarry? Good be pretty amazing I'm guessing.

    We have family just down the road in Middletown Springs, where we maaaay be spending the night. Otherwise will be up in Hardwick for five days.

    Vermont is beautiful, too bad I didn't come in a month when all the leaves are out.
    The quarry is the Danby quarry in Danby.
    It's been in operation since 1850.

    They don't do organized tours, but pretty sure getting you in to check it out can happen. It's currently operational and producing quite a bit, so dust and noise are part of the experience. ( not upup t much of either unless you're near the jackhammer our that saw). But you will get dirty!

    It's really pretty impressive, 60 ft floor to ceiling and the largest underground quarry in the world.
    AS a plus the North American president who runs it is into road cycling.

    It looks fantastic, and sort of a local's only thing the family (well, me!) would love. Loud and dusty is the way life should be, so if it's okay, I would love to pursue this! Just wanted to see if it was even an option. I can DM you closer to when we're out there to see if it can still happen. THANKS for considering it!

    That's true, but I'd be more afraid of noxious/toxic leaching gases as well as collapses. :eek:

    I'll be riding above ground, under the sun, thank you very much. :D

    I'll put that place on my bucket list. Looks chill enough that I would ride around there with bourbon in my Camelback

    Big day for me today, traveled down to London for my visa interview. Wasn't to sure what to expect (apart from lots of waiting). Waited over an hour to get my documents checked, then joined the queue for the interview portion. Got called up about 15 minutes later and stood in the line for the counter; who do you work for, whats your job title, why are you in the UK? Taps away at the keyboard and the verdict is.........

    Apparently he'd heard I was only the bestest and smrtest :Roflmao so now my collection of nuggets is California bound! Stoked to finally get this closed out, its been 18 months of uncertainty and putting some things on hold because of what 'might' happen.

    Watched Game Of Thrones Battle of Never-endingness last night... was underwhelmed.
    Battle of the Blackwater was much better.

    The content and storyline were excellent. But it was all done a great disservice by the cinematography. I couldn't make my house dark enough to see my TV. They shot this episode using candle light. This is what we have been waiting years for. Execution was bad. GOT for years now has been shot in the dark, with poor audio of whispering and mumbling characters.
