EAA Beer Bash

What I want to know is what I did to cause you to go back on your
decision to 'kill file' me?

Two things happened.

1. A new computer
2. Using Google Groups at work.

Suddenly, *poof* -- there you were again!

;-)

BTW: You still remain the ONLY person I've ever kill-filed -- truly an
honor, in the rarefied atmosphere of Usenet.

And, now, you have the singular and unique attribute of being the only
person I've UN-kill-filed...

Dearest Larry,

Please GIVE IT UP!! Jay provides at his own cost a party for all of
those who WANT to come. If you think the "enticement" of a free beer is
enough to drag a unwilling pilot to a party and force them to spend the
night at Jay's hotel you don't think much of pilots. For those who wish
to imbibe they would have the choice of staying at Jay's or I'm sure
they could walk down the road to some other establishment. They might
even have some self control and drink, dare I say it, water!

To bash Jay for offering up a lovely social occasion is out of line!
Now, if only it was early enough for those of us who park the planes at
Oshkosh ...

We will see you when you land and I'm leaving Wed. night open to drag
myself all the way to the North 40 where Jay hosts (with the barbequeing
brilliance on Mont Blanc) another lovely party.

Cheers to Jay!! (and Mary, and the kids). While I disagree with Jay on
almost every political topic in the world the Honeck's are in my view
the pinnicle of "flying family".

Margy

"Marketing ploy?" Larry, a marketing ploy is designed to MAKE money.

A "party" is designed to COST money.


Perhaps. But it would seem that you have a rather captive audience,
in as much as pilots will be unable to depart for 8 house after
consuming the last free drink, and you are in the business of renting
rooms for the night.

Is there a free sober-up room to go along with the free beer?
:-)

Well, you could lay down in my hanger, I suppose.

We've got two couches there -- one comfy for sleeping, and the
other that we got from the "University Surplus" store. It's hard
plastic, and was obviously designed to be cleaned with a fire
hose, for those "post party" power yawns...

It would seem that your policy is not to provide complementary rooms
to the guests you entice with beer, so it might accurately be
characterized as a marketing scheme if they are made to pay for a room
at your establishment.

I was perfectly willing to drop this issue, but you keep drawing my
name into it, so you force me to go on reminding you of the facts.

I wouldn't characterize my follow up article as 'bashing'. I merely
responded to Mr. Honeck's taunting me (or did you overlook that in his
initial post in this thread?) by quoting his words back at him.

I prefer not to stoop to bashing fellow pilots. But if I did, there
would be no mistake about it.

Larry - IMHO you've mellowed(?) here lately. Easier read. Your
ideas/thoughts are coming across more clearly these days - to me anyway. Not
sure why, maybe I'm finally getting used to your style. But I think it's
something else - not exactly sure what "it" is?

Also, looks like you've recently added a bit of humor and irony. Nice change
:-)

Anyway, I know longer fear your posts. g

He just isn't any fun any more. Hope he gets back to normal soon.

We will see you when you land and I'm leaving Wed. night open to drag
myself all the way to the North 40 where Jay hosts (with the barbequeing
brilliance on Mont Blanc) another lovely party.

Thanks for the spirited defense, Margy. Sometimes Larry just can't tell
when I'm kidding him, and when he needs to mellow out, God love 'im...

This upcoming North 40 party should be one for the books, if all goes as
planned. We're talking a pig in a roaster, thanks to Montblack (ooooo
la-la! BTW: I really like your French derivative, "Mont Blanc"... It makes
him sound so,so, I don't know, fountain pen-ish... ;-) and Jim in NC, plus
God knows what all everyone will bring to drink!

Shoot, last year it took Montblack's mini-van to hold all the food. I'm
hoping he can sneak back in again this year, or we'll all be hoofin' it back
over to Friar Tuck's...

FYI: I am also planning to break a bottle of champagne over the snout of
your new Navion (figuratively, of course -- you *know* I wouldn't waste good
booze!) in celebration of you and Ron's successful return to the air -- and
hopefully we will see you (and Mary and the newly plane-less Christine)
dancing on Atlas' wing yet again...

Ah, yes...can life get any better than OSH?

Yes, sadly, Brian & Christine have sold our Baby to some strangers in
Monticello, IA. Hopefully they'll treat her well.

But B&C are hoping to build an RV-10, so they should only be plane-less for,
oh, five years or so...

Poor folks, I think building would be fun, but only if I had a working
plane and time to build and fly. I guess retirement can't come soon
enough! I tell you having the Navion down for 3 years almost killed me.

Look where you ended up working ...a little something to help ease the pain
