Crap it's February

[Krill]

Lancer, are you goin to be in Fillies in September?

[Lancer]

We're going home in March and coming back, God willing, in January. So no, sorry. Why you looking to travel here?

Not while I was sober.

BTW: I'm planning on flying into Oregon on Tuesday, April 29th and leaving on Saturday, May 3rd. I'd like to avoid renting a car if I can because all I'd be using it for is driving through the mountains to Florence and then driving back four days later.

Is there a bus line or anything else to get me from the airport to Florence? Is taking a taxi even remotely reasonable?

[Lancer]

Flying into Eugene, right?

[Krill]

I was just wondering how much time of the year you spent over there is all. I'm thinking of having a gap year when I finish my degree but that'll be in summer of 2010...

We spend 5 or 6 winter months here but not every year. This year we came end of Sept, very early for us, and will leave end March. Next year January through beginning May. The year after we'll likely work through the winter, a long 16-17 month stretch, then do the Sept thing again. God willing.

Zkrib, we'll have been back over a month by then and likely back to work. I'll pick you up if I can, otherwise there's a crummy bus that is connected to Greyhound but runs under a different name, I'll have to pick my brain for that. The other choice is to play a few bucks at the casino. I think they have an airport shuttle. The Saturday return trip is the more iffy one for me as that's a busy day.

Any chance you can visit around Apr 3? That my B-day and I won't be working until a few days after. Pick you up, take you back, np.

Crummy bus = Porter Stage Lines?

No chance to visit around April 3. I'll be working on that day. Right now, I have you wedged in between my visit to my brother's on his birthday (April 28) and an AFSCME P.E.O.P.L.E. conference in Sacramento (May 4).

[Lancer]

Yes, that crummy bus

Ok, we'll manage the best we can. We're going to be eager to get back to making $ because we only have 9 months this go round. Consider the casino. Take their shuttle bus and when you get to the casino get a players club card and play $5 or $10, whatever. Beats the $60 or $70 for a cab, and you might get rich!

Hopefully I'll be available. I'll tell them when I apply that I can't work that day and see how high they jump.

...and the name of the casino is..????

Hey, I prolly could visit around that time! Although it'd be better for me to work off some more debt.

You could use Bushinomics: Get rid of your debt by decreasing your income and spending more.
