Finally my summer vacation has allowed me to go to Osh this summer! I am somewhat of a Oshkosh newbie, being there only one night, sharing a romantic evening in CJ's tent
. My preference would be to camp with my airplane. Anyone have any advice to what to bring or not to bring? My plan would be to fly in either Sunday or Monday, and head back Thursday.
I appreciate any advice!

Mikey, I will be at OSH again this year. Michele will be with me this year so things will just never be the same...
Anyways... If we score some good digs we could count you in. Only problem is, we still haven't determined how we are going to do things for this year yet.
So, if you want to keep us in mind we might be able to set you up with some digs and transportation. Let us keep in touch.

Big question tho Chad..... Is grass cutting written into your contract at EAA?? I mean, that's the main reason they hired you, right??

Robert, I very well might be driving as well.
What day is ale day? Did we plan on Monday or Tuesday for the beer tasting night?
I guess I had too many in the meanwhile!?!
Wednesday is Otter night, correct?
