There’s some people in here who want to speak with you ... lol. It’s funny how we make these associations. “Oh I drove along that very same road where they had that big accident just last week!” Like it makes any difference.
And about your flight on the same airplane three weeks earlier . . . didn't I read somewhere that that particular plane had only been in service for a month? Am I remembering correctly?
I would love to see the internal memos on THAT warning, if they did know it was a problem. Wow.
Tucson is Arizona methinks. Albequerque has a prettiness coming off of the mountains on I40 Westbound but all I remember last time was a bunch of chemtrails! Is there something in the air?
I'm aware of the problems here in a grid down scenario, the largest one of which would be procuring water. That said I'd take the challenge of it over harsh winters. I'm just not good with the cold!
I lived in Ohio growing up so I do understand. I also think that upbringing is exactly what informs my dislike of the cold: we only had a small kerosene heater in the living room of a large two story house during most winters. I could usually see my breath in bed on cold mornings waking up and I had a good idea of how cold it was outside based on the thickness of the ice on the inside of the windows. If it got close to an inch thick it was a very bad morning. I was always cold back then. I developed a love of piping hot coffee and baths so hot my skin was red on coming out of them: anything to warm up. Mostly though I just like being able to work outside comfortably and prefer living somewhere where I can do it year round...
While you may (or may not have flown in the same aircraft) B39M is not the specific aircraft, but the acronym for that 'type' of aircraft, a Boeing 737-9 Max (B39M).
Secondly, Children, elderly, or physically incapable of assisting other passengers or opening the exit door/window are not allowed to be seated in an exit row, which is what the photo shows, but they are occasionally allowed during flight (no one should be opening the door, or exit window, and exiting the plane during level flight).
Thanks for the clarification. It was the same flight type and Alaska Air. Keep in mind the row behind us WAS NOT an exit row. My understanding of this accident is that it was a spot where an exit row could have been designed in, but that it was not so it was bolted internally by Boeing to look like the rest of the plane. I'll follow up on it as more comes to light...
Very interesting. If it was the door-plug row, it could mean the airline avoids booking those seats “out of an abundance of caution,” which would be an appalling revelation. Regardless, somebody has a lot of splainin to do.
Amy, I was never a good flyer in the best of times, and now I am freaking out.
But I love the shed idea...I bet is is gonna be very cute.
Please keep us apprised.
I know an architect who turned her sisters garage into a lovely space. Kitchen to die for, lovely bathroom, heated by a wood stove. Bow window. Small sleeping space but adequate.
The logistics of a bathroom and kitchen area are probably out of my price range for the time being, but once I get through the main framework I may revisit the idea. I'll post updates as I go...
Do you remember idling playing with any loose screws around the fuselage near where you were seated? I’m not accusing you, just curious ... 🤨
I can't say that I recall bringing my toolkit along for the flight! I had some paintbrushes in my checked bag though... :-P
Now it looks like somebody painted a hole on the side of that plane. I'm beginning to wonder if the whole world is just a cartoon.

I suppose you can see all of it as having some meaning, or none of it as having any meaning. I am still curious about the seat number though!
I believe your presence on that exact plane weeks earlier "blessed" it.
I really do.
Awww! I hope so!
And about your flight on the same airplane three weeks earlier . . . didn't I read somewhere that that particular plane had only been in service for a month? Am I remembering correctly?

It came in service in lte October of 2023. That's not encouraging...
ouu! you're a lucky woman!
heads might roll on this one . . .
Same damn plane. And ok I have not flown for 5 years, but usually they cram people in like sardines.
Mam May I help you sit in the ejection seats helmets provided.
I like that DJT fence around New Mexico. Dang I wanted to visit Alburque and Tucson
Tucson is Arizona methinks. Albequerque has a prettiness coming off of the mountains on I40 Westbound but all I remember last time was a bunch of chemtrails! Is there something in the air?
Things are all but quirky in Albuquerque.
It's spelled Albuquerque!! lol
Love from Texas!
LOL I always spell it wrong!
I meant not Tucson Sante Fe lol
What I know I live PNW
You know, LV is like the second least sustainable city in America....

Yeah, cold is a challenge but a wood stove and a root cellar has it's charms, and winter makes the warm months that much more enjoyable.

where in Ohio?
Toledo
Cincinnati, here ❤️
I don’t know if this might work https://theflight.info/seat-map-boeing-737-max-9-united-airlines-best-seats-in-the-plane/
LOL apparently they skip unlucky number 13 so it goes from 12 to 14 on their map. It doesn't look like it is lining up but I can't say for sure...
I couldn’t find any articles or posts with the seat number ? Maybe in the coming days
It seems lie such an obvious thing but I couldn't zoom in anywhere to it either...
Seems like the plugged door would be at row 30. From what I can tell, that's halfway between the second wing exit and the galley exit.
I know I tried that 😆 🧐
Two points;
While you may (or may not have flown in the same aircraft) B39M is not the specific aircraft, but the acronym for that 'type' of aircraft, a Boeing 737-9 Max (B39M).

Other than that, thanks for the memes.

I am ashamed of myself, but I did TOTALLY laugh out loud at the Stephen Hawking one. Totally funny!
Next time you fly, wear a parachute!!
It might be impractical on a commercial flight! They'd probably force you to put a parachute in checked bags...

Plumbing is the most expensive thing to do...but leave room for it..eventually you will appreciate not having to go in the house to "go"...
