Yeah, sounds like us... we were in a red, white and blue Kitfox 7A.

Jeez, I can't believe I never made it back to see you.

It's funny, after the first couple of days I start to get that
"Thousand yard stare", and fall into what I call "Oshkosh Time."
From that point on, I can't remember anything, nor can I be relied on
to return phone calls or meet anywhere at a certain time.

Come to think of it, I met just about everyone during the first couple
of days. After that, I fell into "blinder mode" and stopped looking
at people. Sensory overload, I guess.

We are in Rochester MN for the night right now, and take off at dawn
to fly back to Idaho. Sorry I missed you, just wanted to say hi...

We had fun drinking with the Kitplane Builder guys Saturday night.
They are from Toronto and were a real kick in the pants. They had an
RV-7 with leading edge halogen lights and so we had a landing light
competition. They conceded the light output battle pretty quickly,
especially since they couldn't leave their lights on their battery for
more than 5 minutes. We left ours on for about 45 minutes and only
turned them off so we could concentrate on drinking.

We had a good laugh when Whelen stopped by our booth and their sales
guy chatted with use while the young engineer sulked behind him with
his name badge turned around so we wouldn't know he was an engineer...
after being an engineer for 20 years, it's not hard to tell what he
was up to... :-)

We made some really good industry contacts during the show so the trip
was well worthwhile.

My business partner has family in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines. Maybe
I can stop by Iowa City one of these days.
