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!!! |

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! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

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? Significant Other is already lining up vacation days for '06 OSH dates - she's not sure what she'll do, but it won't be with me! She loves her week home ....alone. Reply to john smith: 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. So yes Dave, I'll sure keep you in mind. I think around Mother's Day I'll revisit the dorm room options. Jim will have his plans firmed up by then, and I'll know more what's up for roommates on my end. If I'm not attending the show this year (for some unforeseen reason) I'll do what Jim did - offer it back to the group for face value. Montblack |

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. Montblack |

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. (rec.minivan.homebuilt) 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.

Ahh, dignity restored. Ah, but there are other visual images, too. Let's not forget OSH '04, with Montblack camped next to us in a driving, all-night rain, sitting upright in a chair, inside a tent WITHOUT a rain fly, holding an umbrella to stay dry... Have you ever heard from your tent-mate again? ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

She can join me in Las Vegas!
1) air conditioning 2) room service Vegas is a winter sport. We're planning to partake of its wonders in March. In July, it's a blast furnace. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I was there this past June (14th through 29th) and it wasn't bad. 109 a couple of days, but it really is a dry heat and it felt very comfortable to someone used to 95/95 here in PA during some summer days. 109/3 (yes, the RH was 3%!!) was very comfortable. And I could exit the pool at the hotel, and during the approximately 100 yard walk back to my room, have my hair completely dry (OK, there isn't THAT much to dry) and my swim trunks would be nearly dry. It was amazing... Matt |
