Pre-OSH Party Wx

[john smith]

It appears as I would have to cross the warm front to get from Ohio to
Iowa Saturday, so I don't think the party is going to happen for me.

On the positive side, the weather will move off to the east of Wisconsin
by Sunday morning and the party participants will have excellent
tailwinds to the big show.

AND IT'S RAINING HERE!!! Finally! first rain since July 4. It may even be
enough to green up the grass at OSH! Then it's supposed to dry up and get
warm again for a few days.

Good luck and blue skies!

Ha! Yeah, crap.

I was sitting in a 3-man tent for that four-hour gully-washer this morning.
1/2 inch hail and the whole nine yards, down in Prairie du Chein where we
were camping...

It did the same thing yesterday morning, on a smaller scale, and then
climbed up near 100 degrees to give us that wonderful high humidity-high
temperature combo.

The drought is over! Whoopee!

So... at least you know your tent is ready for Oshkosh.

Hey Jay...


Those "dorm rooms" attached to your hotel ... they weren't used for the same
purposes that a lot of Nevada hotels have attached "dorm rooms", were they?

Different tent.

The tent for OSH is what we call "God's Own Tent" -- it's the biggest one we
could find when we found ours wrapped around our starboard wing two years
ago.

The one for motorcycle camping is an old, hand-made (in America!) 3-man Moss
tent. I paid something stupid, like $400 for it in the 1980s -- but it's
STILL waterproof and can stand up to any weather. It'll probably out-last
me.

Heh. Nope. The building was purpose-built as a dorm (remember, the
University of Iowa is here) the same year the hotel was built.

It was meant to be temporary, but is still there, 20 years later. We intend
to tear it down in a year or two, but -- for now -- it's perfect for any
"overflow" guests we might have...

Fly safe tomorrow, Jim. We'll expect to see you Saturday afternoon
sometime?

It has been doing that here, for weeks, it seems. The dewpoint has been in
the mid 70's almost every day, with temps in the low to mid 90's.

Can you say sweat?

That's the daily forecast for Mobile from mid-May to mid-September, with
occasional interruptions for tropical cyclones.

You guys stop whining; at least you get a break once in a while.

BTDT.

15 years or so ago, my wife and I went to Mobile to visit distant family.
We arrived at night, went from the airport to the "guest house" to settle
in for the night. It was kinda hot, but not too bad.

The next morning, after we showered and such, we were to go up to the house
for breakfast.

I opened the door, and the heat and humidity hit me square in the face, and
the lungs! I literally gasped for that first breath! Mind you this was
only around 08:30! My wife still enjoys telling that story.

Something else, is a good description. I know you kinda get used to it, but
I can't imagine you ever do, completely.

*click* ... ahh. hm.
they brought a report on TV many years ago about such a fly-in ranch.
a runway out in nowhere, some small 'buildings' attached with girls waiting
for customers to fly in.
