Thanks to all that could attend and to all that contributed to the
party. Much fun was had by all and we're looking forward to next year.



Thanks also to you and Tami, Jay, Montblack and others that helped make it happen. It was great to put
faces with some of the names, and the food was great!

We had an excellent week, departing Thursday morning and getting back to Phoenix Friday mid-day
after a night seeing relatives in Colorado.

I just got back from a business meeting over by SFO and I have seen absolutely nothing posted about the Wednesday
night party in OSH. Are they all still there? Did I just miss an entire thread? Inquiring minds want every
trivial detail.

It is a big secret. If you want to know about these things you just have to show up! Just kidding Jim!

Actually since the wife and I were first timers we just kind of hung around the fringes and pretty much played like
wall flowers at the party. We did talk to Paul Tomblin, Montblack, Mary, and several others including those who
described themselves as either lurkers or semi-lurkers. I thought I was doing pretty good as far as not imbibing too
much in the alcoholic refreshments. However, as I grabbed one for the road from the cooler, I couldn't for the life
of me get the dang twist top bottle open. I tried as we walked in the dark all the way back to the tent site.
Finally the wife looked at me and said something about "I think you had to much". "Why"?, I say. "Because that's
one you need a bottle opener for". Sure 'nough! I didn't even know they still made those antiques bottles!
Somebody set me up. I plead innocent, though. Jim Riley brought some home made apple brandy. I'd had a couple of
hits of that and so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. The food was great and the companionship was better.

BTW, I took a few pics of your chair. You were toasted in your absence. I'll try and send the pics to Jay so maybe
he can post them on his website.

BTW: That was *Richard* Riley who brought the awesome home-made apple
brandy.

Quite frankly, I had forgotten all about it, since, after passing it
around the party a few times, I had forgotten just about everything!
That stuff had some KICK -- although John O. said it wasn't even close
to the potency of that infamous "Muzzle-loader" from Pinckneyville....

Strangely, that fact didn't seem to prevent John from drinking it....I
think...

Yep. As an experienced Muzzle-Loader drinker I just had to try to
competition. I had several shots of Richard Riley's 'Falling Block'
Rocket Fuel. I'd rate it about a 8.5 for drinkability and a 7.0 for kick.

OTOH, I rate Muzzle-Loader about 5.0 drinkability and 10.0 kick.

A head to head competition between Richard and Chuck would be a lot of
fun... and leave most participants laying on the ground.

Good Party, Good Food, Good drinks, Great Company. Thanks Jay, Mary,
Paul, Jim, Tami and everyone else that helped.

It was a damn shame I couldn't find my Wrong Brothers Hat.

It's sitting on a table at a garage sale in central Oregon.

Son, that's called "Muzzleloader" and you'd better get used to it. Normally
it is peach or blackberry, but it lurks in various fruit varieties. I'd
plead "no contest with an explanation, your Honor."

Toasted, eh? I've been toasted enough at Oshkosh that a few drinks thrown
my way would be appreciated {;-)

No, it's not. It's Falling Block. Chuck and I were going to have a
taste-off, but he got scared at the last minute and didn't show.

Sorry for the name mistake Richard. I can't remember names even when I'm sober.

No problem. Jim was my dad's name, he was there in spirit.
