Default Anyone Got an Extra Oshkosh Dorm?

Friends of ours had a dorm room reserved for the duration of Oshkosh --
and then forgot to mail the deposit balance in that was due by June
15th. Now the folks at UW-Osh won't even put them on the waiting list
for cancellations, as they say that there are already over 700 (!)
people on the list.

Anyone got a dorm room reserved for the whole week, but not planning to
stay the whole week? Our friends are prepared to pay for any nights
you may not use.

If you, or anyone you know, have "extra" rooms, please let me know,
either here or by emailing me at

Thanks!

I wonder if there are any specials on camping gear at Walmart or
Academy? (grin)

Well, I happen to have a full set of camping gear that I will cheerfully loan to
anyone who has a spare seat for me and my gear flying from New Jersey.

Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry,
and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.

If you don't find anything and want me to check some hotels in my area, as
well as a rental car, just let me know.

Thanks, Jim.

I've forwarded your kind offer to them, and await their reply. I'll
let you know!

Hey George! Why do I always yell when I'm 'see' you? I had a very
good friend once named George, and every time I saw him, I yelled "HEY
GEORGE, LOOK IT'S GEORGE! HEY GEORGE!"

Anyways, hoe come you're not flying there yourself? Just wondering...

Well, Bryan, it's pretty simple. Got laid off in November 2002. I've been doing
odd jobs the last year or so, but it doesn't quite pay the bills. I haven't been
buying plots of property, but this should sound familiar to you. For this and a
few other reasons, I sold the plane early this year. I'm now living on the
proceeds. Didn't even bother to renew my medical last month.
