8. Showering one-handed.

You get to stand in a 2ft x 2ft x 7ft stall and use a kitchen sink spray
handle attached to a 3ft hose to rinse your body.

6. Idiots on Scooters. This is expanding exponentially, at roughly
the same rate at American's waist lines. The Korean War vet with no
legs deserves a scooter. The guy who hasn't seen his knees in 20
years should either walk or stay home.

Seems a tad harsh, if not downright insensitive. There are people with
serious heart conditions or other problems that keep them from walking
long distances. Who appointed you to decide who is worthy of a scooter
or not?

So far, that's $36,978 just for appliances not including any granite
countertops which could easily run $100 per sq-ft for very high end
full thickness edge type slabs... Assuming 20 linear feet of
countertop and it being 2 ft deep, that's an extra $4000 for a total
of $40,978... Add on top of that some high end cabinets with dovetail
joints, solid wood construction, and possibly exotic woods you could
definitely be getting up there in price...

If you've got the money, they've got something for you to spend it
on...

Wow... you need to join that Buy-Direct Club like the guy who was going to
spend $63,000 on cabinets! LOL

And lest you think these are real stalls, all it is are 3 slimy mouldy
shower curtains.

Is this why there was a huge tent full of Ford cars and another full of
Honda generators? It's just a larger scale version of the expandable
flag
pole booth.

Ask the folks who camped around me what they think about Honda
generators in the airplane camping area.

Although your new generator is very cool (EVERYONE used it to charge
cell phones, cameras, and laptops) I get Viperdoc's point.

At least Honda is sort of getting into aviation. No one knows what
Ford is doing there. ...

They were spending a pile of money - Duuh....

:-)

The company was hyping this up on the internal web pages - number of people,
"exclusive automotive sponsor since 199something" - had some pictures too,
but I didn't see you in them - so how do I know that you were really there?

I think they're a bit larger than 2ft x 2ft... I suspect that the
reason for the kitchen sink spray handle is to conserve water (and as
such reduce costs)... They wouldn't want to use a higher end type
spray handle like we had aboard ship in the Navy since it would cost
more and someone might be tempted to steal it... It's probably a safe
bet that no one is going to steal the low end Wal-Mart kitchen sink
sprays that they were using... Temperature control would be nice also
since sometimes you want a cool shower and sometimes you want a warm
shower...

They're bringing back the Tri-Motor.

1. NOT flying. This may sound counter-intuitive, but we fly less
during the week of Oshkosh than any other week during the year, simply
because it's SUCH a pain in the butt to fly in that area and return to
your campsite. (Just ask the guys who went flying Friday, and then
couldn't get back to their site when the airport was closed due to the
Mustang collision.) By the end of the week I find myself looking
forward to the flight home, just cuz it's FLYING.


This is one of the main reasons I don't do Oshkosh. I have limited time
off, and I like to spend it flying.

Last week, whilst flying and camping around Montana, I was asked (for
probably the 1000th time) why I wasn't at OSH. After all these years, I
finally came up with a response that brings the OSH conversation to an
immediate close. My reply :

"I'm not really into that NASCAR stuff."
