I haven't had a summer to myself in 34 years, I haven't been to a summer
airshow in California in too long to remember because it has always been
Oshkosh, Oshkosh, Oshkosh. Well, dammit, it's time to stop and smell the
roses ... and I am.


2006 will be my 4th OSH. That *is* stopping and smelling the Jet-A for me (6
or 7 hr drive over from the Twin Cities).

For me, it's not a show but more like a week at the lake. Hang out, relax,
enjoy, sit, drink, relax, eat, walk around, drive home on Sunday - or
whenever. Maybe you could knock off doing the forum (and all prep) and just
enjoy the show this year - maybe leave Thursday morning? Just a thought. On
the flip side I know what you mean about - let's try something different
....for once!

This year, for me, will be two scheduled days at the flight line, in a white
plastic chair, for oh ...about 6 hours each day - starting early in the
morning. I'll walk around during the airshow.

Always wanted to do that - this year I will.
