There are two 'cartoon bubble' images in the head of this 21 Century
Huckleberry Finn:

First - Sawing some logs ....zzzzzz

Second - I'm sorry to do this to you Joe, but let's just say...

Substitute "john smith" in captions where appropriate. :-))

"Be careful what you wish for." g

You're bad. :-)

I was just looking at the pictures again, and was trying to figure out
why some parties at OSH look so impressive, and some (like ours) just
look like a whole bunch of people standing around drinking.

This is it: Tents. They've got 'em, we don't.

I don't mean sleeping tents -- I mean display tents, or gazebo tents,
or whatever you call them. If you look at the Bonanaza guys, and the
Women Fly gals, they've got party tents at their parties. We need 'em
next year.

We've got a medium-sized one that we use for expos and airshows. It
would work fine, just to give the party a "center" -- but, of course, I
can't fit it in the plane.

I actually looked for one on our pre-party shopping trip to Sam's. They
didn't have one or I would have bought it. Next year. Plus extra guy
wire/rope/cable & stakes so Atlas doesn't end up wearing it. It would have
really sucked to have it all put up just a few hours before the party this
year.

Can't fit it? time to upgrade Atlas.... :-)

That's what UPS is for, they ferried all of our camping gear to OSH and
back.

Somehow, that seems like cheating.

Jay, you just need an airplane with some CAPACITY !!

We brought one this year, and it was nice to have, but we were worried
about it in the storms. We ended up getting extra rope and stakes to make
sure it stayed put. If it had broken loose and banged into the airplane it
would have definitely been not worth having!

I haven't had time to add some videos to this page, yet, and I've got
some pix that others have sent me that I'd like to add -- but otherwise
it's largely complete -- enjoy!

Mary and I had a fantastic time, as always -- and we're already
counting the days down to OSH '07!

Blue skies...

I missed the Beach Boys!, Damn. A long as I stay in the airborne fire
fighting business there is not going to be any OSH for me....

The Dakotas are a little dry this summer. Then there's the (BWCA) Boundary
Waters Canoe Area fires in northern Minnesota. Jim Burns could back-burn
some prairie restoration acres near Stevens Point, Wisconsin. And to bring
you the rest of the way in to OSH - the 1,000-ft 'Wall of Fire'.

There. A hop skip and a jump, and you're at Oshkosh.

A water drop on the final Saturday would have been welcome.
