Jay brainstormed:
Crap, I suppose you're right. We'll STILL have to transport the stuff
out to the campsite, somehow.

Wait -- a TRAILER! That's what we need! Keep all the supplies in a
trailer, inside the storage facility, throughout the year.

Then, when you come to OSH next year, you simply hook it up to your van
(which you have somehow magically transported onto the grounds, and
driven right up to the Exhibit halls without anyone noticing) and drive
it out to the North 40 -- where we won't have arrived yet!

You will then have to predict precisely where we will be camping, and
drop the load right *there*...

Okay, maybe there are some holes in the plan here...but we'll fill 'em
somehow!

:-)


This is getting complicated. We're going to need to hire some interns or
something.

Wasn't that a Burt Reynolds movie about convicts playing football?


He star'd in both of them...

He was most certainly not in the Longest Day.

I couldn't remember the movie, The Longest Yard (1962) was my guess.

GI asked the question to his GI buddies, of a surrendering Nazi...um,
....*after* it was no longer an issue - IYKWIM.


"The Longest Day," actually. The end of the Ranger assault on Point Du
Hoc.

The Longest ...Day. Doh!

I was doing three things at once - thinking obviously wasn't one of them!

The Longest Day

Although y'all 're nuts or drunk, I like the trailer idea. Of course you'd
have it painted with the Alexis Hotel and Suites Traveling Road Show logo on
it. And I think that the PMC would be housed inside the trailer, would have
to take on a new life form, something like one of those little refrigerators
or a tank and ice that would hold say... um... a 1/4 barrel?? CO2 system or
a compressor run off the generator. Soda, water, and beer taps would extend
out the side of the trailer in several locations so there would be no
waiting for service. We could have a restaurant sized fold out gas grill
and griddle on the side of the trailer. Every morning the North 40 could
wake up to the smell of pancakes, bacon, and eggs. Each night a laptop
w/DVD and a LCD projector would project the day's pictures and airplane
movies onto a roll down screen. A roll out awning with roll down sides
would make a temporary tent for those unable to navigate homeward. A couple
orange rotating lights would make you look "official".

Build it and they will come! Think big Jay!

I've got room to store it and I'd even drive over to OSH the day before and
pick you up so we can get it tranported to your site, then after OSH I could
pull it home. The gate Nazi's be damned!

No more hauling around the PMC -- "Pimp My Cooler", AKA: "The

Coffin"??

Wow, I can almost see Jim (Burns) and Montblack pumping their fists

and
shouting "YES!" from here!


Call me a defeatist ...but this building will need an access point, no?

:-)

Your papers please! "Mach Schnell....schnell, schnell."

Clearly you have lost your mind, Jim.

Let's do it!

Um, well, hold on there, pardner. I don't know about the gate Nazis
letting us pull (and keep) a trailer onto the North 40 for a week --
especially not one with beer tappers and grills sticking out the sides!


Jim Weir, are you reading this? Montblack is good, and smooth as
refried beans when it comes to getting his van out to our campsite --
but whaddya think the EAA folks would say about such a contraption?

Hehe... partypooper... Ok... gonna have to make it a "service vehicle".
Alexis Inn and Suites Mobile Airplane and Pilot Service
Jim Weir A&P/AI
Jay Honeck Crewchief
Make the trailer look like a mechanic's service vehicle (more orange lights)
Lots of diamond plate polished aluminum
Tool boxes to hold all the dry goods and non perishables

Standard opening line: "Sure I'd be happy to look at your plane, I'll even
take some pictures. How 'bout a beer?"
