On Wisconsin!

Hit the road early this morning out of Chicago bound for Oshkosh. Aside from the construction, things moved pretty well and I'm well on my way. About an hour left.
Saw the Harley Davidson factory, passed Cheese Castle, and the Briggs & Stratton factory.
The weather is nice and I look forward to seeing some folks on the Hero Stage and at the Authors Corner so I can get a lay of the land.

What's great about the highway? A Shell station with a built in Dunkin' Donuts. Good Morning!!!

Pre-Flight Checklist...

Getting ready to leave for Chicago, then on up to Oshkosh.
It was as I left work, and had packed up my office, and turned on the air conditioning when it FINALLY hit me that YAY! PLANES is being sold at the biggest airshow in the world! I got this big grin, and just let out a big YAA HOO!!!! Last year, all I wanted to do with YAY! PLANES was to have it appeal to the core group of pilots and their kids. Now, I guess I get to test that out.
I have to thank all the great people at EAA (the Experimental Aircraft Association) for inviting me to AirVenture 2009.

Argyle & Jim? Check.
Crayons? Check.
Sharpies? Check.
Paper Bag Puppets? Check!

Hope for a great time at AirVenture? CHECK!!

Thanks to Robyn for her help, love, and support. YAY!

A test for AirVenture 2009

Hey all.
Since I'll be going back to Oshkosh, thought that I would fire up the BlogMachine again.
Really looking forward to seeing the turnout at this year's show.
