Jay brainstormed:
Crap, I suppose you're right. We'll STILL have to transport the stuff out to the campsite, somehow. Wait -- a TRAILER! That's what we need! Keep all the supplies in a trailer, inside the storage facility, throughout the year. Then, when you come to OSH next year, you simply hook it up to your van (which you have somehow magically transported onto the grounds, and driven right up to the Exhibit halls without anyone noticing) and drive it out to the North 40 -- where we won't have arrived yet! You will then have to predict precisely where we will be camping, and drop the load right *there*... Okay, maybe there are some holes in the plan here...but we'll fill 'em somehow! :-) This is getting complicated. We're going to need to hire some interns or something. -Tony Goetz |

I couldn't remember the movie, The Longest Yard (1962) was my guess. GI asked the question to his GI buddies, of a surrendering Nazi...um, ....*after* it was no longer an issue - IYKWIM. "The Longest Day," actually. The end of the Ranger assault on Point Du Hoc. Ron "IM IMDB" Wanttaja The Longest ...Day. Doh! I was doing three things at once - thinking obviously wasn't one of them!

Although y'all 're nuts or drunk, I like the trailer idea. Of course you'd
have it painted with the Alexis Hotel and Suites Traveling Road Show logo on it. And I think that the PMC would be housed inside the trailer, would have to take on a new life form, something like one of those little refrigerators or a tank and ice that would hold say... um... a 1/4 barrel?? CO2 system or a compressor run off the generator. Soda, water, and beer taps would extend out the side of the trailer in several locations so there would be no waiting for service. We could have a restaurant sized fold out gas grill and griddle on the side of the trailer. Every morning the North 40 could wake up to the smell of pancakes, bacon, and eggs. Each night a laptop w/DVD and a LCD projector would project the day's pictures and airplane movies onto a roll down screen. A roll out awning with roll down sides would make a temporary tent for those unable to navigate homeward. A couple orange rotating lights would make you look "official". Build it and they will come! Think big Jay! I've got room to store it and I'd even drive over to OSH the day before and pick you up so we can get it tranported to your site, then after OSH I could pull it home. The gate Nazi's be damned! Jim "Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com... No more hauling around the PMC -- "Pimp My Cooler", AKA: "The Coffin"?? Wow, I can almost see Jim (Burns) and Montblack pumping their fists and shouting "YES!" from here! Call me a defeatist ...but this building will need an access point, no? :-) Your papers please! "Mach Schnell....schnell, schnell." Crap, I suppose you're right. We'll STILL have to transport the stuff out to the campsite, somehow. Wait -- a TRAILER! That's what we need!

Clearly you have lost your mind, Jim. Let's do it! :-) I've got room to store it and I'd even drive over to OSH the day before and pick you up so we can get it tranported to your site, then after OSH I could pull it home. The gate Nazi's be damned! Um, well, hold on there, pardner. I don't know about the gate Nazis letting us pull (and keep) a trailer onto the North 40 for a week -- especially not one with beer tappers and grills sticking out the sides! Jim Weir, are you reading this? Montblack is good, and smooth as refried beans when it comes to getting his van out to our campsite -- but whaddya think the EAA folks would say about such a contraption? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Alexis Inn and Suites Mobile Airplane and Pilot Service Jim Weir A&P/AI Jay Honeck Crewchief Make the trailer look like a mechanic's service vehicle (more orange lights) Lots of diamond plate polished aluminum Tool boxes to hold all the dry goods and non perishables Standard opening line: "Sure I'd be happy to look at your plane, I'll even take some pictures. How 'bout a beer?" |
