Gorgeous animal...have him tested for thyroid. I've seen more dogs perk up
when they get the thyroid working correctly than anything else.

Jim

He's still with us, but he's starting to slow down and I just know he's
going to break my heart some day.

His problem is arthritis, plus a congenital defect (he's missing one of
his hip joints, though that actually doesn't slow him down much). He's
on meds and they do help. But he's ten years old now, so he's not a
puppy any more. The days of ten mile hikes are over. But he still
bounces (literally!) when he knows it's time for dinner.

????

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

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


Well, Jay, not everyone thinks airplanes are ALL there is in life. Some
of us have other loves and interests, such as motorcycles and guns (in
my case) and puppies apparently in Jim's case. I'm as surprised that
you can't understand that as you are that Jim is skipping OSH. It is
only an airshow for crying out loud. And it will be there next year...

What sort of training takes 6 months and doesn't allow a week's vacation?
Something doesn't smell right here, and it's not the dog.

So Jim...Who gets the room at Oshkosh? I'd like to go if I had a place to
stay. Never been before. Be glad to pay you what you have in it.
Thanks,
Dave

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.

Sorry, Dave, Montblack beat you to it, but if he isn't bringing his
significant other, perhaps you could split the room with him. How about it,
Montblack?

What????
No more stories about sleeping in the van!
No more tales of the air-mattress going flat in the middle of the night!
No more ranting about the rain leaking in through the window where the
electrical extension cord comes in!
What are we going to do for entertainment around the MOAC2 this summer?
Say it ain't so!!!

Somehow I don't think having a dorm room will stop Montblack from bringing
PMC2 ("Pimp My Cooler"), and helping us to consume the contents.

But the visual image of Montblack sleeping on a too-big airmattress -- which
cocked itself at a 45 degree angle -- in the back of the mini-van will live
with us forever!

While you guys were at the IowaCityAlexisParkInnFreeBeerandFoodPoolParty
(with swimming poll cannonballs provided by John O and Jim W for
entertainment) I was helping someone move on Saturday ..."Hot Saturday".

I threw together my stuff at around midnight for the drive over to OSH, not
thinking that a 20" high self-inflating queen air mattress "would not" fit
the 4' x 8' confines of the minivan - what little focus I had left was on
the 8' part of that space.

The freshly retired United pilot and his wife, in their brand spank'n new
mobile home complete with canopy porch and porch furniture, almost wet
themselves when they saw my predicament. g

Next morning I was at Wally-World buying a 20" high "Twin" air mattress.
Ahh, dignity restored.

The rain I licked with some foam padding, thicker than the cord. Rolled the
window up on the pad ...two pieces, cord in the middle.

My air mattress (queen - Doh!) didn't go flat - which turned out to be one
of the problems. g

I told Jim W if his plans change, the "reserved" room is for him again -
I'll hold it for a few months (April/May) THEN firm up my roommate options.
Like I told Jim ...camping in the minivan is not a bad Plan "B" fallback for
me.
