Default Pool Party Report -- A new record!

Actually, opening time on sat/sun are kinda slow for the first 1/2 to 1
hour for incoming traffic. Then its a slow but steady stream...sometimes
with big gaps for part of the morning, then about 10-11, its picks up a
bit. Then there's the mass arrivals.

Nah, I think it'll only be a few of us. Maybe 5 or 6?

The RV guys wanted to get a VERY early start, no matter how many times
I told them that they did NOT want to arrive right when OSH opened
today.

It was kind of funny -- all the activity at the pool party occurred
between 3 PM and 9 PM. At 9 PM, about 50 pilots headed off to bed
(and people think pilots are partiers!) to get an early start today,
leaving just the "hard core" circled around a couple of tables,
yacking.

15 minutes later, some poor guy arrived, fresh from having just flown
all day from Arizona. Of course, the food was gone, the crowd was
gone, and no one was in the pool. I felt sorry for the guy, but all
we had were beverages to offer.

I'm sure his "Pool Party Report" would be quite different from
mine...but that's what you get when you show up late...

;-)

Now, it's off to the hotel, to rendezvous with our gaggle. Wheels up
at 10 AM!
