Pix of Oshkosh this week

If you like lamb, there are a couple of Basque restaurants over by the
Stockmen's Hotel that have the absolute best lamb I've had on the planet.
Don't miss them if you are a lamb fan. They serve home-style which means
they keep on bringing more out of the kitchen until you say "enough".

What hotel do they stuff you into in Elko? BTW, that means you are coming
home Friday, and Jack Allison and I will be coming directly over Elko
International Friday about 9 on our way to Torrington. Tell the captain of
that torch to watch for a blue 182 or an Arrow on climbout. If you've got a
handheld radio I'll give you a call going over if you haven't boarded yet.

We're flying (It's a Frontier jet *called* Casino Express) to Elko, NV
tomorrow. $88 per person - RT flight, 3 nights hotel ...includes
EVERYTHING, except food. Visa was charged $176 for two of us - that's it.
Price even covers the ride to and from the airport :-)

Yeah, that was an amazing year, 1988. We had just bought our first house,
the summer before, and knew that we'd have to paint it the following year.
Typical summer in the CA central valley...*maybe* one shower in August.
Never mind the week long 100 degree plus days (that we're in right
now)...it's a dry heat! Ya, right. Toasty unless you're doing air work
over a lake where the OAT was a comfy 69 degrees a couple weeks back.

Now if only it cools down a tad before OSH, it really WILL have been a
perfect summer!
If it's any easier to turn down the humidity-o-meter, request that Jay!
Heck, 85-90 degrees would be a nice change for me right now. :-)

WOW!!!
No haze, no clouds.

Ya Paul, you warn that executive mail tube driver that a couple low
level slow movers are in the area or you could hear something like this
on frequency: "Blue lead, Arrow-1, good missile tone on the MD-80,
engaging...".

Paul...Elko? Man, one more state left and you'd be in the promised land
of CA! I know you're just trying to weasel a ride in the Arrow and if
it wasn't stuffed full of camping gear...well, you know the rest.

I can't complain to much , alot of rain and that has kept our temps way down
for this time of year. But I have to cut the grass every four days or it
gets knee high to a giraffe!

WOW!,
Only 80 degrees and your grass is brown?

It's not the 80 degrees that turned the grass brown, it's the 90's, the
wind, and the lack of rain that we've had for the past 2 weeks. But all
is
not lost, the weeds have loved it, they're growing, well....like weeds!!
We've got lambsquarter that is 4 and 5 feet tall and all budded out, and
the
ragweed is coming on strong. My eyes can hardly wait.

I kid you not... I mowed our lawn once in June and have not cut it yet in
July. The only reason I cut it in June was because the weeds had headed out
and were much taller than the grass.

Best Western Gold Country Motor Inn - Elko, Nevada (I think). It might be
the Red Lion Inn & Casino across the street. It's either/or with this
outfit. Looks to be east of town 1 mile, on Idaho St.

Scheduled to depart Elko with my winnings at 8 am Friday :-)

We only get two full days (Wed and Thur) in Elko..../Idaho/Utah g

122.75 this side of the Rockies. We'll switch to 123.3 if it isn't too
populated from Nebraska eastward.

and were much taller than the grass.

My son has been thrilled to not have to mow the lawn at home. He, too, has
only mowed a couple of times since the drought got started in late June.

Unfortunately we've got a very nice underground sprinkler system at the inn,
and I therefore still must mow *that* lawn weekly. The areas that are not
hit with the sprinklers are completely, 100% dead, to the point where when I
go over them with the mower a big cloud of dust and dirt goes flying...

We're starting to get some good sweet corn here, though, so apparently all
is not lost -- yet.
