Hi @MarkR and everyone - thank you so much for the kind words! I miss seeing y'all's smiling faces across from some big cooking pots already :sad: We will be at 6Y9 (accommodations have been reserved); early planning for Sunday breakfast is in process.

NexStar remote - haven't invested enough time in it yet to justify the cost of adding on StarSense - that's plane rental money! Also gives me incentive to make sure I understand the manual alignment process. Similar to flying: the pink GPS line is nice as a supplement, but don't lose the...

Celestron, C6-S GT, Schmidt-Cassegrain tube. Been a while since I cranked it up, hope to find a good portable power source for the mount. I'm still somewhat new at the astronomy waters too; we can all test the waters together! What scope ya got?

Looks wonderful -missing y'all this year :(

Artisanal baking is complete..

Great weekend, weather and friends. The apple picking was successful - one deep-dish pie is currently in the oven. Or, should I wish to sell it, I would have to rephrase: "An artisanal, small-batch pie, featuring sustainably-grown, wild-caught, fresh-flown-in apples from 100% organic orchards...

Correction, VFR. Dang iPad logic :)

Grant and I Just departed KLOT, very, N284M. Will see how far we get.

May take you up on that grocery store run.... sounds like I'll have access to kitchen facilities, so I'll plan on making fresh cornbread on-site.

Tim -are you at 6y9 yet?

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the party! Was fantastic to see everyone again, a true group effort and success! And, in keeping with tradition, I do not cook breakfast on Wednesday morning..... Time for 'cooler specials' and trail mixes, leftover Kringle, etc. The fun flip side...

Hi, all! looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday night; the 'brand X' chili powder, a good size package of andouille, and a bigger jambalaya pot, are currently rolling on I-294 en route to OSH! If folks are looking for things to bring, we could use beverage cups! Thanks, Leslie

Thanks to all for the replies so far. I don't know about this individual's immune system status, although being immunocompromised would certainly be a key consideration. On the topic of treatment centers; I won't say that one town is better than the other, although Chicago does have some...

Morning, all - I need some advice on finding the best transportation option for a friend of one of my staff, who has been diagnosed with colon cancer. I don't have all of the specifics, but what I know is the following: - patient lives in Chicago area - has been accepted for trial treatment in...

Good to know about the headcount, and chicken. Will focus on something to accompany that.

Anybody got an estimated headcount for the Friday potluck? I'm firming up menu ideas.....

Having started life as an Air Force kid, I'll always have the T-Birds in my DNA, I think :) Looking forward to the show..... Noise? Bring it on!

Decisions changed - we are out for today. Will spend some time running many errands, and celebrating our anniversary a little early today (the official day is Monday, but I fly out for business tomorrow afternoon for most of the week).

Was great seeing and meeting folks today - Tim, thanks so much for getting things together! We had a few bumps heading home at 4500, but not too bad.

Flightline, friends, food and drink - lots of good memories of Gastons. Got me through my unexpected surgery a few years ago, a mental escape from the hospital bed. It's been a little while since we've been back, perhaps time to consider returning; will have to prioritize packing the magic...
