is faintly see it through the tensed
5:11
glass all right it's pretty mellow out
5:13
here right
5:14
now hoping that this kind of transcends
5:17
into the security checkpoint line not
5:20
being too terribly
5:35
716 playe boards at
5:35
8:45 plenty of time plenty of time
6:03
I don't know what that beeping sound
6:05
is woo it's a high pitched squeal all
6:10
right there's definitely a little bit of
6:11
a line I'm going to guess probably a 20
6:14
20 minute way let's say 20 minutes let
6:16
me check and see when I get done the sun
6:18
is definitely up
6:20
now daytime flights all right I would
6:23
say it probably took about 20 minutes
6:25
give or take took the laptop out of the
6:26
bag I put it back in the bag took the
6:28
shoes off took the belt off but even
6:31
though I kind of wearing the same kind
6:33
of clothes I usually wear same shoes
6:35
same belt everything's the same they
6:37
ended up pading me down did a whole like
6:40
put the front leg to the front back they
6:43
wanted me to like kind of have the legs
6:45
like this do this then uh they kind of
6:48
just scrolled their hands up into the
6:50
nether regions if you will so I got a
6:52
little uh got a little excitement uh
6:54
from the the TSA agent so basically you
6:57
do this they take take their hands all
6:59
the way up to the the midsection and you
7:02
got to do this and then they take your
7:04
start with the feet and they go up and
7:05

10:09
and then let see where my flight
10:11
is I am flying where am I flying to
10:14
again oh yeah Houston right here on time
10:17
gate
10:18
27
10:20
9:25 Kevin is flying elsewhere he's not
10:22
flying to you want to go to Houston you
10:25
don't want to go to Houston back to
10:26
humidity and then we'll be back in a
10:28
couple days for d23 fair enough and I'm
10:31
so tempted but I don't want to eat too
10:32
much before I get on a plane I'm going
10:33
to get a coffee though we got the
10:35
hardboiled eggs right here you got the
10:37
kale and blueberry salad there you got a
10:39
little shuder you got some yogurt over
10:42
here cuz it is early got some breakfast
10:45
foods you got the little snacks tomato
10:47
and Olive Savory
10:49
croissants dang those look pretty
10:52
good do you usually eat the buffet food
10:54
or before you do you eat before you get
10:56
on a plan sometimes lunchtime is my
10:58
favorite after L they got very good
11:01
stuff can you use the lounges after you
11:04
land yes so when I land in Houston I
11:06
could get food there at that one
11:19
stomach all right so this is the
11:19
lounge looking out
11:21
there then I've noticing over here take
11:24
a look at this there like a whole
11:27
dispenser of hot coffee or hot water
11:30
decaf and regular Starbucks right here
11:34
it's Starbucks
11:35
time you know if you want I could get
11:37
the Disposable cup or go with the glass
11:40
cup but I just rather could do
11:42
disposable somebody doesn't have to wash
11:45
it probably thinking incorrectly but
11:48
yeah coffee time been doing a lot of
11:51
flights lately and doing a lot of
11:54
connecting flights I think the last few
11:57
flights have all been connecting flights
11:58
this one not a connecting flight or a
12:01
layover used to say layover instead of
12:04
connecting flights but really a layover
12:06
is kind of like when you're like there
12:07
for a long time connecting flight is
12:08
kind of a quick little get off the plane
12:10
run over to another gate and go from
12:13
there so I'm kind of starting to sort of
12:16
use the terminology correctly but yeah
12:19
flying direct today to Houston and I'll
12:23
be in Houston for a series of days not
12:24
too long a few days just a few days in
12:27
Houston all right went ahead and top it
12:29
off gave it another little refill here
12:31
I'm looking for gate 27 so by flight
12:34
boards in 15
12:36
minutes so going to head down to find
12:39
gate 27 looks like it's going to be over
12:41
on that side right
12:55
angle up here in the lounge a
12:55
little mechanism little push back mobile
13:14
yep about ready to board 3 minutes till
13:16
boarding all right there it is I am zone
13:18
three I'm sitting in 12a which is a
13:21
window seat seat
13:23
12
13:24
a which is a window seat Comfort plus
13:28
they call it that that
13:32
section here gate 27
14:07
you place them into the B wheels or
14:07
handles first then go ahead and flip
14:09
them onto their side there's a diagram
14:10
in the back of the bin it'll show you
14:12
exactly how to Ste your bag please
14:14
ensure that the bin will close before
14:16
taking your seat and if you come to a
14:17
bin that's already closed please take
14:19
that as an indication that that bin is
14:23
full large electronic devices like
14:25
laptops must be to sto prior to push
14:28
back either in a bag under the seat in
14:29
front of you are in and overhead bin
14:31
they may not be Stow in Sea Pockets also
14:33
if you're seated in our exit room we
14:35
actually you go ahead and review the
14:36
exit seat and response clear skies and
14:39
it's been a long time since we've had
14:41
clear skies which usually translates to
14:43
a smooth ride and we love smooth rides
14:47
so I can wear my shirt two days in a row
14:49
cuz if I spill
14:51
coffee if I spill coffee on my shirt
14:53
than I don't don't write Delta any
14:56
strongly worded letter saying that they
14:57
have dirty pilots flying for him but uh
15:00
we should be able to get the seat belt
15:01
sign off right away uh when we take off
15:04

15:06
we're going to go out over the ocean for
15:08
about a minute make a turn to South and
15:10
then we're going to make a turn back to
15:11

15:15
great view of the coastline if you're on
15:17
the right side you'll see it just for a
15:18
couple of minutes okay first officer

Dave was helping me out today he flew
15:22
those tiny underpowered aircraft in the
15:25
United States Air Force called F16
15:27
vipers and about about uh 37 years ago
15:31
and half my body weight ago I used to
15:34
jump out of the back of those perfectly
15:35
good Air Force aircraft it would not be
15:37
pretty if I did it today but uh y'all
15:40

29:00
pillar the Houston
29:03
store
29:09
Houston oh what is this right here this
29:09

29:14
maybe Houston
29:26
merch yeah of course I I'm trying not to
29:26
make a lot of we have a problem jokes
29:29
because you know about being in Houston
29:31
I'm not going to try to say because I'm
29:33
in Houston there'll be any problems but
29:34
hopefully I will not have a
29:43
problem was Houston known for
29:43
NASA and
29:45
evidently aradillas as
29:48
well as well as Don't Mess with
29:52
Texas deep in the Heart of Texas and
29:55
Don't Mess with Texas which I say sa
29:58
this before but started off as a
30:00
littering
30:05
campaign if you litter you get a big
30:05
fine so Don't Mess with Texas had to go
30:08
towards ground transportation but not
30:10
before looking at this
30:13
greetings from
30:16
Houston look this is like a hummingbird
30:19
there there's a flower there's like
30:22
other bird there's a state flag over
30:25
there not riding a car while I'm here
30:27
I'm just going to be doing ride share
30:29
like uber and lift and that kind of
30:30
thing most probably Uber no rental car
30:33
this time looks like this cow has landed
30:35
says Houston we have landed this cow we
30:40
got the Texas state flag right there not
30:44
sure why the astronaut is a
30:46
cow but you can see the the footprints
30:50
there on the
30:51
Moon the
30:53
Moon cuz it's a cow maybe that's the
30:56
reference cuz cows make the sound of a
30:58
moo got the camera here to document the
31:02
moment for
31:04
posterity and I just noticed there's a
31:06
little placard little
31:08
information sylvestri Moonwalker made in
31:11
2001 about the artwork Moonwalker
31:14
sometimes referred to as a space cow was
31:16
originally part of Houston's cow parade
31:17
of fundraiser for Texas Children's
31:19
Hospital that's that explains where it
31:22
came
31:23
from the space cow also known as
31:26
sylvestri moon walker
31:28
pretty cool oh is this Freddy
31:39
Mercury look at this freaking
31:39
thing Bohemian raps city is with
31:44
the name of this is I mean obviously the
31:48
name of Queen song Freddy Mercury the
31:49
lead singer but why is this titled that
31:54
yeah Bohemian rap city a tribute to
31:56
Queen Houston Heights hi school art Club
31:58
students made this 200 hours
32:00
transforming at 20 2004 Nissan Sentra
32:04
into a sparkling Masterpiece of Honor
32:07
British Rock queen band frontman Freddy
32:11
mky made in
32:20
2016 that's definitely different and
32:20
also not something I would see I would
32:23
think they would have in the airport
32:25
they do there's even a tire wheel right
32:29
here you even see the word Gaga there
32:32
that's not for Lady Gaga but for Radio
32:34
Gaga the song that Lady Gaga took as
32:38
inspiration for her name that's why it
32:40
says Gaga on on the side
33:04
kind of wacky to see in the
33:04
airport the keyboard over
33:08
here there says Queen right across
33:11
there the other members of the
33:15
band and then Freddy rocking out a lot
33:19
there
33:20
goes the
33:22
Skyway said Skyway on the side a lot
33:25
warmer and more humid here than it was
33:27
in so cow it actually feels really warm
33:44
balloons all right up on the upper level
33:44
evidently you got to go down to the
33:45
lower level and over to Door 114 door
33:49
114 didn't mean to make that rhyme for
33:52
the ride out pickup and limos I didn't
33:55
order a limo but I did order a ride out
33:57
pickup
