Sorry I missed dinner with you guys. Was going to call but my phone went dead and normally that wouldn't have been a problem, except it is the only place I have your phone numbers!
Sounds and looks like you guys had a great time and a great slab of cow flesh! Maybe next time. For CJ, Thermos and WS, I will see you at the wiring seminar.
For those that wern't there, OSH got hit with a typical midwest thunderstorm Monday night about 2100. We were airing up our air mattress when it hit. Shannon jumped in the tent and I jumped in the car. About ten minutes later, I turned on the lights to see the tent poles had snapped and ripped the rain fly apart, while the tent collapsed. Pulled Shannon out and we managed to find a hotel room about 50 minutes away.
We got a new tent on Tuesday and had great weather the rest of the week. Tuesday was actually cold and windy (we had nothing but shorts and t-shirts) after Sunday being in the upper 90's!
Just returned and the drive back to RI was great except for the miserable state of IL! From now on I will avoid northeastern IL at all costs while driving. First of all the state nickle and dimes you on tolls, and then there are massive backups every 20 miles because you have to stop and pay another $.80 toll. They should make it like OH where you take a ticket when you get on and pay one price when you exit. OH was almost $9.00 to cross, but I only paid once, rather than the 10 times in IL.
NYC is easier to travel through!Overall it was a good time. CJ ordered his fuse and I saw many a beautiful RV's and friendly builders. Even ran into Aaron from Hartford, CT (had the blue and yellow RV-8 at the Boston fly-in last month).
Hope everyone had a good time.
Take care,
Jim
CJ
