Here's what has happened thus far -
We were supposed to leave Boston at 10:40 am. The flight gets delayed multiple times due to mechanical and weather issues involving Boston and Chicago (from where our plane was flying). We finally depart Boston around 3:20 pm. About 10-20 minutes away from Denver, DIA puts us on holding pattern due to weather condition in Denver. We stay on holding pattern for 40 minutes or so when the captain tells us that we are heading to Lincoln, NE since we're running out of fuel and DIA won't let us land yet. We arrive at Lincoln (7.00 pm CDT) and find out that we need a new flight crew since the ones that had been flying are at their daily flight limit or something. Now we get to wait until 10.30 pm (CDT) for the new flight crew to take us to Denver. I'll believe it when my two feet are actually touching the ground of Denver.
They (United) are giving us all a $250 coupon for our next flight we book with them within US in the next year. They're also putting us up in a hotel in Denver tonight (a lot of folks were flying to San Diego with layover in Denver) but I'll see if they'll instead pay for our cab fare as we already have a place to stay in Boulder.
One silver lining is that there was a chance we would still be at home, trying to reschedule another flight tomorrow - I found out our flight was the last flight to leave from Boston today as they shut down Logan Airport since VP was flying in to Boston.
It's this one - TK3 Model Trebuchet. It's closer to being a desktop model than a backyard model, but it's supposed to be able toss a projectile over 40 feet - got them for part of groomsmen gifts.
They also offer much bigger backyard models - [url=http://www.trebuchet.com/10101]Floating Arm Trebuchet
I love Maine Coons. My parents have one who is pretty big, though she isn't quite as big as yours. Our Maine Coon, on the other hand, is a tiny little thing, though she'll probably fill out a bit more as she's only year old.
