I'll likely be there Friday and Saturday.. but I'm flying in so weather might have a say in it.

I've never been so I'm making assumptions. This much I know; If I'm there (with fearless co-pilot Rotty) we'll be in a green on white, C177RG, N177MJ, general aviation camping.


hey you wouldn't mind swinging by KPWK or 06C to pick me up on the way, would ya? i thought it would be cool to ride in style  ;)

KPWK = palwaukee - Wheeling, IL (9nm N of KORD)
06C = Schaumburg - Schaumburg, IL (11nm W of KORD)

If you don't mind being on this ever-ambiguous passenger list.. I'll leave that (stopping in Illinois) as an option. Seems nobody's plans are getting any firmer.. mine included.

It might just end up being undecided, right up to that Friday.... and even then , weather can mess it all up.

I'm not even gonna bother speculating right now.. LOL

This is where questions get personal

6 weeks... and still no approval on my vacation request.
Looks bad... this project I'm involved in now is a mess, and they keep changing stuff. Yippee. ::)
Oh well; I'll just have to make sure I clock lots and lots of overtime in July, to compensate for missing Airventure.
Somehow I don't think that will be a problem...

Well oshkosh is two weeks away and I'm wondering who is still coming up or down for it. I am going the entire week so I was just was wondering if anyone was still going to make it.

Believe it or not, I still don't know if I can go. I'm supposed to get a final answer today, but I'm not banking on that. ::)
I could quit my job, I suppose... ;D
