My only 'time' window was to leave Friday morning, but with the Huge system, that was centered over Kansas City (tops @ 50,000'), I couldn't go over it, or get around it. Chuck G.

The pork chop dinner at Brodhead last night was great. I have your Guinness in a cooler in the trunk of my car. Don't worry, I will save you one, guess I will have to dispose of the rest of them myself up at Oshkosh. Rick H.

Just thinking about that Guiness and those pork chops makes my mouth water !! I look forward to Brodhead so much, every year...I guess sometimes the best laid plans still go awry. I'm sure everyone had a great time, and I hope you gave a great Oshkosh !! I see where they now have a HUGE movie screen to watch after dark. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:07:56 PM PST US From: TBYH@aol.com Subject: Pietenpol-List: Brodhead There was definitely some rain on Friday and some late Saturday -- on the north side of Brodhead. We drove to Brodhead from La Crosse on Friday afternoon -- rained most of the trip, but stopped once we got to Brodhead and there was a lot of flying going on. Saturday morning it was nice weather and lots of flying going on again....kept watching for Chuck G. to make a smoky arrival, but as he mentions, too much weather to the south. Yours truly was treated to a ride in Ken Perkins Piet! (Many thanks again, Ken and Richard!) What a thrill! And yes, big guys can get into the front pit and yes, she flew just great despite the front seat load! There's nothing like the sound and smell of that little Model A crackling away up front! I'll try to post some pictures in the morning. Just to give you an idea how "jazzed" I was -- we headed out away from Brodhead for a few minutes. Saw a red-tailed hawk and made a turn with him...and then we were flying along and I was so excited and taking pics like crazy and then I looked down and saw this little airfield and I thought to myself, "Geez! Look at that cool little airfield and all the planes and there's even more landing and taking off!" And then I caught myself, "Oh, yeah, that Brodhead where we just took off from!" Well, after landing I think I would have given Ken a million bucks right then and there for his little orange and cream gem! The pork chop dinner was great although we saw some flies (yes, the little six-legged insect kind) take off with a pork chop and head west! Another group of flies had the apple sauce cup and still others had the dinner roll! No lie! They even flew in a stacked echelon formation! Ran into lots of rain just north of Janesville on the ride home -- was all tucked into bed by 10:30 Saturday night dreaming about Piets -- and I was up early this morning so I could work on my own Piet! I always head home Saturday night 'cause I'm so fired up I just have to get home so I can spend Sunday working on my own "kite" -- wish I didn't have to go to my real job tomorrow! Bought a complete set of control horns from Ken P. -- very nice! And they fit my elevators and rudder just perfectly! My wife went along with me this year -- first time to Brodhead for her and she said it was one of the top five vacations we've ever taken -- even if it was for only two days! She was very impressed by the activities and how friendly everyone is...well, that's what I've been telling her for the last two years. So, we'll be back again next year! More later! Best regards to all! Only 363 days 'til Brodhead '07! Fred B.

How much? Tom B.
