DFW wasn't too bad when we went through there back in August to/from Seoul. The worst part was trying to do all of the aforementioned movements through customs on a freshly sprained ankle.

We came back from Italy one time. I had GE and the wife only had TSA.

We tested it.

I waited for her for 90 minutes at the tram terminal and had 2 bloodies and a beer.
so, it worked!

F me. Now I know why my brother went so crazy. Dealing with people in the public as a business owner can be difficult. 

I have a job for a customer, new construction. Not much there except a few dozers etc. I knew it was getting late, after 6 pm. I called him, no answer. I then texted him I was going to swing by to do a site visit real quick, 6:24 PM. Stopped by in a truck with signs on the side, parked in the driveway, walked to the house pad. Still daylight, but obviously the last little bit. In and out, 5 minutes. At 6:58 he texted me back that he was pissed and called the cops, I assume because he saw me on his trail cam, which I already knew was there. Which is the reason I texted him. I then called him and explained that I did call, and then texted..he hung up on me.

We are heading on a trans-Atlantic cruise at the end of April. Going to fly back out of Paris to Boston.  Haven't done customs there but I know Global entry was great coming back from Mexico and coming back from Rome.
I love trans-Atlantic cruises coming back from Europe. Not going. I like it when we get home and there's no jet lag. They change the clocks every two days.

I get much worse jet lag headed east to Europe, than I do headed back west to the States.

I'm considering it, and may do it, but I really do need the work after the slow start to the year we had.  

To give a little backstory...this guy is from Dallas, moved to Houston (for unknown reasons).  He actually has a business himself as well.  He told me he wanted to move out of the city into the country, he's building a pretty nice place in the country.  The particular area he is building in is kinda close to meth central.  In fact, I have a cousin who is serving about 40 in the pen for murdering somebody (with a knife) on some kind of meth induced craziness, that happened right down the road from there. 

He told me when we met up he had been broken into a couple of times.  He has a storage container or two there, and some equipment.  This is very much in the country, 1-10 acre spreads on backroads, a trailer park/RV park across the street.  I practically grew up there, the school bus went by there everyday.  

So I knew he had cameras from our conversation.  Which is why I called him first and then texted him, at 6:24 PM that I was going to swing by for a site visit, to see how far they've come on the house pad and if we would be ready to drill next week.  Still daylight, albeit the very end of daylight.  I am going to chat with him this week.  If I get any more bad vibes, I may bail.  But I can see why he maybe would be pissed, since he did get broken into before.

Maybe he'll say he misread your text, or didn't see it, or the dog ate it.
