Would it help any if you flew in, rather than drove? With that kind of money, you could fly and still have plenty of money leftover. You're from the Dallas area, if I remember right (ok, I did an IP check to make sure :oops: )... you could fly to Milwaukee for about $750, or Minneapolis for about $550. I'd take Northwest, not American, since the planes American used are grounded for inspections and your flight would probably be canceled. From Minneapolis, they have a shuttle that'll take you to the city where I go to school, and you can ride with me to Milwaukee from there. The shuttle would run about $50RT.

Let me know if you're interested, I'd get something before seats fill up/go up in price
:oops:

Chicago is much closer to Milwaukee than Minneapolis. I think at this late hour though there is no avoiding an expensive flight. The cheapest I see into Chicago is still in the $450 range.

It's closer, yes, but Minneapolis is pretty close to me and I could drive him down. It's all figured out anyway, though. I'll pick him up from Milwaukee at 6:00PM

Glad to hear it worked out. I am looking forward to the weekend. If I am lucky I will find an Atari 800 in working condition. I would also like to find an Atari 5200 Trackball.

I wanted to get Friday off in case Ben was still planning a cook-out but I am trying to wrap up some work on a critical project at work so I won't be able to get away.

If anyone finds they have a need for anything, pillows, air-mattress, junk like that just let me know. I am on the North side of Milwaukee so I can bring along anything if you find yourself in need.

Also if anyone needs a last minute place to crash just let me know. I have plenty of room at my house.

You can reach me at "ckraft at deltae.org"

Well, I'm here now...or am I?!
Got my triwing and 4.5mm screwdrivers on me.
Forgot a few resistors though, so I might not be able to burn a PIC.

Got plenty of resistors now, although not sure if I'll have time to pull the mod off anyways.
Oh, and who wants to jump in the BH group tub? Image
