EAA UWO Dorm Room (Air Conditioned) For Sale

Due to the recent loss of a deeply beloved furry member of our family and
the concomitant training requirements of a new puppy, Gail and Jim will not
be going to Oshkosh this year. First time in twelve years for Gail; first
time in thirty-three years for Jim.

We have a room in the newly air-conditioned Taylor Hall reserved for most of
the Show. I don't want to make a penny on it. If anybody wants this room
and is willing to pay me what I have on deposit ($50 or so) and take over
the "payments", then give me an email

First "regular" in these newsgroups gets it. I'll filter down to the
unknowns later. Paypal is the preferred method of payment.

You're missing OSH '06 to train a puppy? No way.

This *has* to be an imposter, scamming Jim's email address...right?

OK, so we care as much for our furry family as we do for each other.
Airplanes and dogs have equal weight in our eyes. And airplanes don't sleep
on your feet on cold nights and lick your face awake in the morning.

Sorry, Jay, there is more to life than cold aluminum airframes and hard
steel engines. No, this is not an imposter scamming my addy, and if you had
half a heart you'd understand how bad I'm hurting from my loss.

Jim, I feel your loss. It took me years to get over the last critter
that I lost. If one of my critters needed expensive medical attention,
and the only way I could pay for it was to sell the plane. The plane
would be gone.

I'm feeling for you, buddy.

Maybe not at your house..

Well, Jim, I've cried a thousand tears for my dogs over the years.
When we had to put Princess down last year, we pulled the kids out of
school so they could spend time with her at the vet's before, well, you
know... We're STILL hurting about it.

But, for crying out loud, OSH is six months away! I think it's safe
to say that you can potty train any puppy by then?

I'm not insensitive to your loss, but I think you're premature in
cancelling your reservations. There are many people -- myself
included -- that regard your forums as the ONLY "don't miss" forums at
OSH, and it simply won't be the same without you and Gail...

So that's it, is it Jay? Just potty train her and let the little *******
fend for herself for two weeks while we're (for her 6 month old mind) gone
forever? Or stuff her in some kennel where if she's lucky they'll take her
for a walk once a day?

What doesn't your brain understand that for you what is a day-trip, a 2 hour
flight up the boulevard, is for us a bitch of three days going, three days
coming back, and a week at the airport? Two weeks out of an already
shortened summer. Not to mention the two weeks before the show coming up
with an idea for the forum, building it, testing it, drawing up the plans,
making sure that the CDROM is burned right, stuffing the project in boxes
that will fit in the airplane, schlepping it from North FondDuLac to the
forums plaza and back, then schlepping it back home.

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.

Quite frankly, I don't give a hairy rat's ass what you think. And to hell
with what Jim and Gail want. Jay is going to miss a forum that he likes.
Isn't that just too frikkin' bad? It's not what Jim and Gail have decided
to do, it's that Jay (the center of the known universe) will be
inconvenienced.

I understand that. We spent Christmas with my mother in Tennessee this year,
which meant our coonhound spent five days in a kennel. She lost about 5 pounds
-- just refused to eat. Next time we go, we're taking her with us and putting
her in a kennel down there. Then we can visit her every day.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.

Well, Jim, I'm sorry if that's the way you feel. Clearly there's more
going on here than we know, and I hope it all works out for you and
Gail.

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.
