EAA UWO Dorm Room (Air Conditioned) For Sale

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.

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!!!


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.
Like I told Jim ...camping in the minivan is not a bad Plan "B" fallback for
me.

I've never met another man with so much luck when it comes to winning
houseing... first the Alexis Park Inn Name that Suite Sweepstakes and now
the Jim and Gail Great OSH Dorm Reservation Transfer! What in the world am
I going to tell my kids when they ask why Paul isn't staying at our house
one night this year??!! They'll be heartbroken.

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.

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.

Hey, a sleep over in the dorms! I've got a couple of extra 20" high
airmattresses. g

All we'll need are some 4x4's, lag bolts, a cordless drill, and, oh yeah -
popcorn!


Montblack
This year bring the kids, they'd have a blast. Plus, it's a hell of a lot
cheaper than paying babysitters! :-)

Did everybody hear that?? Montblack will be hosting a daycare center at the
dorms! lol
(actually, you could probably make a fortune!)

She can join me in Las Vegas!

1) air conditioning

2) room service

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?

Vegas is a winter sport. We're planning to partake of its wonders in March.

In July, it's a blast furnace.

I don't know. 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...
