    Nope, not all that into baseball, though I love our stadium. I get to run a 5K all through it in a couple of months, so that should be cool. I'm hoping we get a basketball team again so the NHL can be tempted to move a hockey team here and I can again attend games of the only sport I really love.

    To Castle, re: boredom... I don't know. I fling planes while I watch TV in the evenings, and between sets at the gym. I do it between meetings at work and pretty much any time I have free time. It isn't a priority for me though, but I find time to get it in here and there. Taking breaks is key!

    Haha I love going to Thunder games. I'm about an hour south of OKC but I'm sure glad the sonics moved down here! Are people in Seattle still mad about that?

    Kinda. They are weird about it though. No one was going to games before they sold the team and moved it, but then people were pissed once it was gone and were livid about how it was sold and moved out from under them. But now those same people are pushing for the same thing to happen to Sacto so the Kings can be moved to Seattle. Seems like hypocrisy to me.

    My favorite thing about Seattle is c89.5 Don't even remember how I found it, but have listened to it a lot over the past 10 yrs on line.

    Oh, I see, that makes sense now that you mention it. :)
    We're only training them by 21k.

    I'm getting bored with PP, need to change things up to make it interesting again.

    Edited:
    I guess this is to be expected. Just discovered there is a character limit on these posts... discovered it while adding to the links consolidation post (2nd link in my signature).

    The little plastic circles are a kids craft. You put make a pattern with the different colored circles, then place a wax paper over it and iron it and they all stick together. My kids had a set when they were little. :)

    I'm getting bored with it too. Haven't been in the top 10 in a few races now.

    LOL - I didn't set it up...it was a weird glitch. I noticed the plane had <1m to land...and then...a minute later was still in the air. Hmmm? Circling the airport I guess. So I clicked the plane, figuring it would land momentarily and saw the 143,165,576 BUX to boost...LOL. I think all of Gus', Yitz' and Penguin's planes had air traffic control going nuts and my little ole Mapple was sent into an interstellar orbit;)

    I loaded up a bunch of other planes and on the refresh cycle the Mapple...tired as could be landed. :)

    We definitely can build our strategy to take down TA when there's a global event that involves a remote Class 1 city far away from a Class 3 Hub (such as Murmansk and Pevek).

    Anyway, to share my strategy....I also run a swarm of Blimps. Two modes only, though. I operate with 20 Blimps if I'm busy. Otherwise, I recommission the other 10 during events where I can fully participate.

    Each of my Blimps have a home city, named after that city's IATA Airport Code (i.e. LAX, LHR, CDG, JFK, NRT, BKK, etc.) I've had the same 25 cities open since I was level 19 (I'm now level 43) to facilitate my trips from LA to Tokyo (and vice-versa). Depending on the Global Event, I'll open two or more cities in order to deliver jobs there. Once that GE concludes, I'll go ahead and close those cities.

    My sloth/hibernate mode of play keeps me from being bored of this game, I literally spend an avg of 15 mins a day on PP. My Blimps fly on a strict itinerary....each flight would consist of one or two BUX jobs that are no fewer than 5 BUX each, as well as event-related Passengers/Cargo, then they head back to their home cities. For example: my LAX Blimp would travel to CDG to drop off event-related cargo and/or passenger, then to MNL for some BUX dropoff and eventually fly all the way back to LAX. For the most part, I still end up with profit aaaand I also earn BUX!

    So yeah, I'm usually flinging planes before I sleep and I'll wake up to Blimps that are ready to fly again. Sometimes I'll play during lunch, then I'll have some ready to go when I get home from work. Although there are some days days that I would over-indulge and play PP while the class and my students are in a lab environment, hahaha!

    I used http://www.world-airport-codes.com/ for the codes :) and I wonder which 18 other cities you have :)

    Guys, I am still looking for SK controls and bodies on my GC account. I have 3 spare engines, I can trade 1 for a part. I am also happy to supply you with one of these :) Just let me know.

    And Thefantasyicon, check your pm :)

    Cheers,
    ELMO

    If I finish in 11th I'm going to be royally ticked. I had 2155 with over 30 minutes to go and quick boosted 154 bux worth of mapples, prob 150-200 jobs and supposedly ended in 11th with ...2155. Hopefully, the system will correct itself asap!
