Default Fuel Prices For The July Pilgrimage

The problem, Jim, is that I'm trying my best to wend my way across country
taking as little 100LL as possible because of the fouling issue. As a
matter of fact, I plan on landing at Portage between IOW and PCZ just to get
a good load of mogas for the flight home. Thence Blaine and Aberdeen
before I have to start taking on bluegas.

ups.com...
100LL.com has consistently beat Airnav.com on price accuracy and
timely updates for all of the long cross country trips I've taken
during the past 2 years. It's saved me more than $1000 over what
Airnav found for lowest priced fuel near my destinations.

have you experimented with your plugs?

on the o-200 the usual REM40-E plugs foul up dreadfully on 100/130
avgas but switching to REM38-E plugs gets rid of almost all of the
problem. I run 100/130 avgas with no problems at all.

Blaine?

When you know your tentative (Depart: OSH) schedule, let me know. You can
hunker down at Blaine (if need be) or soldier on. A place to bunk (with
shower and flushing toilet g) ...and a car will be available - should you
want it, or need it.

We (@ ANE) will take care of Gail ....and you.

That said, I'll be returning from OSH early Saturday evening (8pm-ish), so I
won't be around when you stop by our 'little' airport.

Your OSH event chairs:
Taking them back with you?
Leaving them behind when your week is up?

Your call. I'm open either way. If they're heading West, don't forget to
leave room.

Like the diapers say, Depends. If we get an early morning VFR departure,
I'd like to be in western Nebraska for the evening. If we get the usual
crappy Wisconsin IFR mornings, I'll take you up on that.

Flushing toilets? FLUSHING TOILETS??? We don't even have those up here in
the wilds of Grass Valley {;-)

Bless you.

Keep 'em. They are the "Oshkosh Chairs" from now on.
