Man, I hope I'm not coming down with a cold. My throat and nasal have been scratchy today, it'll be hard to keep up this schedule with a bug hanging around. It's been dusty at the airport in recent days and I'm hoping that's the cause. Nearly everyone I know has seen the series, "Band of...

Glad you could make it and made those memories with the family. The museum is open year-round, so maybe a day-vacation would be in order. Thanks for the kind words!

We probably set an Attendance Record today. We won't know the numbers until next week, but it sure looked and felt like a record crowd. Wednesday's are a busy day anyway due to the afternoon air show, nighttime show, and then fireworks. There were times the staff was overwhelmed and by the time...

Probably busy counting the dollars I saved from buying Gas, Oil, Tow Vehicles, Lodging, Meals, Licensing and Permits. And with the money saved, quite possibly spending it on a Divorce Attorney after spending an entire Winter, at home, annoying my spouse.;)

We woke up to Rain Showers in this part of Wisconsin this morning, but they should be ending by noon. My only day off this week so I'm playing catchup around the homestead today. If I had to pick my favorite area of the show, it'd be the Warbirds. I wish I could spend more time there. The...

Honestly, there are so many planes here that a squadron wouldn't be noticed. But yes, there are a lot of 51's here, maybe more than usual in the warbirds area. The shape and sound are unmistakable.

Day One of E.A.A. is in the books for me. My shift started at 6 a.m. and I've never been a "morning person" but the payoff is we're done by early afternoon and have the rest of the day to do as we please. I guess to start things off, we had a crash today when a small plane came in way short of...

This will be my last entry on this thread. It's getting rather lengthy and I'd like to post current events, links, photos, etc. so watch for a new thread to follow. Our last organizational meeting was on Tuesday and we have our marching orders and everything's a go for AirVenture 24 in Oshkosh...

Ok, so one week to go to AirVenture in Oshkosh. We have one more meeting for organization and then it's Go Time. Campers have been filtering in all this past week. In all the wisdom that Madison can offer, we've got lane restrictions on the nearby Interstate for construction so be patient in...

A guy walks into a crowded bar with a pistol and says, "I've got seven rounds in the clip and one in the chamber, now who's been sleeping with my wife?" There's total silence, not a whisper and after a long pause a voice in the back of the room says, "I think he's gonna need more bullets."

how the story ends... First off, thanks to those that responded. ddhanna, that was my first chuckle of the day and yes, I had the correct tip on the gun for applying soap. After dinner last night, I went back out to the garage. I wanted to look at the check valve that Whitedust mentioned. Took...

This appears to be the place to go to fix toilets and oil leaks, so I thought I'd join the fray with my latest challenge. I have a Generac 3100 Pressure Washer. It's great little machine, always starts, plenty of pressure, etc. Fired it up this morning and found that it wouldn't draw soap from...

Did our ancestors have these problems with the Outhouse? Nope, just splinters and an occasional rat. Life is Good!

Let's be careful out there.

There should be a Service Valve below the tank. Is it open all the way? If it is, you've got a blockage or closed valve somewhere else.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KTIV/Gray News) - Police in Iowa say a man who appeared to have been trying to steal copper wire was electrocuted. Officers were dispatched for a possible burglary in progress at around 4:20 a.m. on Wednesday, according to Sioux City Police Department. When officers arrived...

Remember last winter? No snow, no fun it's just nature's way of keeping things balanced.

Reminds me of a couple of years ago when my cell phone caught on fire. If a charging battery or overworked processor becomes too hot too quickly, it can ruin the chemical makeup of the phone's components. With batteries, a chain reaction called thermal runaway can cause the battery to generate...
