Looks like everyone is having fun! We thought we would make it on Thursday but it doesn't look like it is going to happen. Someone eat some ribs at the Otter for me!

Hey, save that seat! I'll see you guys tomorrow! Weather looks like it will be good for a few days - here in Bloomington/Normal, IL, just had a bad storm which split half of a pear tree that fell on the garage right where my wings are stored near the ceiling

. Fortunately, no damage to the garage. I think I'm going to cut the %*&$ down to avoid any future issues.

Glad to hear from those that made it to OSH, I too wish I could be there.

Good news/bad news Carl, we've been having our share of nasty storms this summer. Have fun at OSH as well.

Willie Weez, I had a beer for you last night! I probably had enough Captain Morgan's for the rest of you guys! These beer brats they have around here are killing me though. I have been making Havanna omletes all morning! They go through me like a laser beam!

John R, sorry you can't make it here. I will put a rib in my saddlebag for ya. See you maybe saturday or sunday?

These guys crack me up! Here's wishing you all were here with us!

CJ

Sounds like you all are having fun. This is my first time in 5 years not attending and to be honest its a bit weird.

Ill be at next years though as Ill need to purchase an engine and electronic things. Enjoy your steaks tonight!

John

Jeez, I stopped by last night at about 8:30, and nobody was home--

What did you guys do to have to camp so darn far away!!

Maybe next year---Lance

Hey Lance! Sorry we missed ya! Larry and I went to the Broken Arrow movie, and Brad and Joe went out to grab a bite to eat...I have no clue where CJ was...

Hope to see you next time!!

Ya, I went to the theater after I stopped by to see John Travolta do his intro, but headed back to camp before the movie started. I saw the Motorcycle, and I snapped a picture of the campsite to prove that I was there

Next year I will find you guys, This year the trip came together at the last minute, not much time for planning.

By the way, I had a 20 knot tailwind on the way to OSH, and anywhere from 5 to 18 tailwind on the way home---So I am sure that for the next 20 trips, I will have headwinds both ways.

150kts GS in the 180 was a nice trip there, about 3 hrs flight time to get there, with a little wait outside OSH at a little airport when it was closed thursday AM for the Lancair accident.
