Re: Have I made a sacrifice to the ZR-1 god?
Just landed in Dubai from Dhaka on the way home to DC...78 degrees. Just have a sport jacket and am going to freeze when I land. Oh well, have 15 hour flight so will have to drink single malts to keep the blood flowing when I get off Emirates.

Re: Have I made a sacrifice to the ZR-1 god?
Reminds me of a trip to Buenos Aires (SP?) Argentina I took in June of '97. Left the USA in a humid 90* heat, wearing a light summer suit - never thought about traveling to the southern hemisphere...UNTIL the captain announced our approach to the airport and informed us the temperature was -2ºC. (SAY WHAT!!????) The worst part was, I was to deliver a hands-on (ride along) "train-the-trainer" course to some field technicians! Somebody lent me a parka to wear, but I was soo embarrassed! (But, I had to laugh at myself anyway! And, I "fell in" with one of their attractive, blue eyed brunets that Buenos Aires is famous for; a secretary who's warm (personality) made me forget about the cold...)

Re: Have I made a sacrifice to the ZR-1 god?
Yup, when I landed after 15 hours on Emirates Airlines, did not feel the cold or much of anything. Looks like a good warm up for all in a few days.

Re: Have I made a sacrifice to the ZR-1 god?
Used that exact tool today. Part of the service I was doing, decided to relieve the fuel rail pressure prior to changing the fuel filter, as recommended somewhere on this forum. Unscrewed the cap and dropped down into valley. Luckily I could see it and managed to retrieve with the claw type pick up tool. Couldn’t use the magnetic pick up tool as the cap is aluminium.
