First Call -- You're Invited to TWO Oshkosh Parties!

Regrets from the Left Coast. After 33/34 years of dragging a ton of
aluminum from Kalifornia to Winnebago County Airpatch, Gail and I have
decided that there are other things we want to do with our big summer splash
than OSH. We may make every OTHER year, or every THIRD year, but not EVERY
year.

Sun'n'Fun? Perhaps. Copperstate? Maybe. The fact of the matter is that I
got myself elected (fancy that) to three state positions with the Community
College folks and since last year I've been to conventions in New York
twice, Philly, Los Angeles four times, San Francisco half a dozen times, and
testifying at the Puzzle Palace in Sacratomato more times than I care to
count. Bottom line is that I'm about traveled out and I've still got a
Monterey trip in June, a Los Angeles trip in June, and a Washington DC trip
over the 4th of July weekend.

Besides which, I've gotta pull the prop and send it in for looksee. My
logbooks don't show that prop having been o/h since it was put on the bird
some 30 years ago.

Have one for me.

Jim

Not this year anyhow. Haven;t been in a long time. No much point. It isnt
what it set out to be....

As evidenced by how fast the Bombay Sapphire disappeared, even AFTER we ran
out of tonic, I think I won. :)

Lays chips, ok. Intel chips, you gotta by 'em retail. Hmmm, then
again, if you want an "old Intel chip", I could let you have the 90 MHz
Pentium that's in my....keychain! :-)

Sounds like Jay wanted to give up the beer pooh-bah title.

I vow to make sure we don't run out of tonic this year. By the time Jim
mixed up my G&T, there was way too little tonic. Funny, didn't stop Jim
from making sure the Gin was gone :-)

Rats, you guys will be missed Jim. As for me, I'm opting for the
aluminum tube transport method to keep some of the costs down. I have a
bunch of travel planned over the summer so need to rearrange the AMUs
accordingly.

As we had plenty of limes, the G&T's simply became gin gimlets. We'll just
call it a navigational diversion to our alternate as filed. ;)

Forgot about the abundance of limes. So you were two for three in terms
of ingredient quantity...withing PTS standards. The real question is
did Paul have the scooter and if so, why did the lack of tonic continue
to be a problem?
