Is this the summer of the dicount tent?

That would be perfect if not for the typo - "discount". I love it !! LOL.

My idea?

Next year in Vegas!

Air conditioned hotel rooms
World-class restaurants
And...a chance to win back part of the expenses


Are you back home? Plane still for sale?

50/50 is (Black or Red) (Odd or Even) at the roulette wheel - that's about
it. Most everything else in Vegas is house advantage. Good luck.

Ouch! I hope you are not including me, and others who use a scooter, with
zoom!

Have you looped, spun and rolled it? If not, you aren't in his class of
people...

Roulette is one of the worst odds games - almost as bad as "Wheel of
Fortune".

Now of course, one could expect an EAA convention attendee of
being able to build his/her own (see http://tlb.org/eunicycle.html
or http://www.tlb.org/scooter.html for a couple of interesting
examples from a very creative guy!)

I think anything not in a sitting position would not be allowed on grounds,
but a sitting 3 wheeler would be. May suck, but that's that.

What? Vanity's not a good enough reason? grin

Yeah, I hear you! g

There's probably a couple of reasons, I guess... Resorting to a scooter
would be admitting that the injuries over the years have won...

I understand. I'm not there yet, but soon.

That would
be the first step in admitting that the adrenaline induced behaviour of my
youth was not necessarily a good idea and I'm not quite ready for that
declaration right now... Frankly, I didn't think that I would live long
enough for the sort of abuse I put my body though to come back to haunt
me... grin

I didn't do anything to cause my problems, but I have them anyway.

I'm also not all that crazy about something running on batteries so even
if
it was a battery powered bicycle / moped, I wouldn't use it... The
mechanics
of the act of bicycling does not put the strain on my knees that walking
does and it even has the benefit of being a form of exercise...

In order to convince the OSH authorities, you will have to be on the
batteries, but there is noting saying you can't park the scooter, and walk
for part of the day, when the time comes. That is what I probably do.

Good luck with your personal battle, but don't let it win, even if you have
to do the scooter to keep active. Losing is stopping what you do know.

Nope, you forgot about green; the house has the advantage.

What kind of accommodations did you stay in? I saw your plane, but never
caught up with you.

By the way, you had one of the nicest planes in the HB show area, IMHO.

I rode a corkscrew roller coaster one time, and I think it did all of that.
That counts, right? g

Not even 50/50 on those. if the d*mn 0 or 00 come up, you lose either of
those bets. which makes the actual odds of winning 47.36+:52.63+ A 'mere'
5.55% 'advantage' to the house.
