The weathe r was great on Friday and Saturday. Lots of flying, measuring, talking, lyi ng etc. It was great to visit with all the characters on this list, meeting many for the first time. The Piggly Wiggly fresh brats we had at Jack's Br atfest were the best, graciously served by Jack and Susan from their RV. J ohn (slather) Racine brought the spaggetti sauce and Shelly provided the no odles for a scrumptious Thursday night dinner. YUM. For me personally this year was most satisfying in that after 10 years of building NX929DH and two more long drawn-out years of flying through my 40 hour test phase, I was f inally able to give passenger rides. On Friday morning Chuck Borsik (sp?) f rom N.C. was my very first passenger ever. After that the word spread and t here was a steady stream behind him all day long. Hopped at least 20 rides that day. The IT girl Shelly did a wonderful and tireless job setting us up in the cove as usual with her kitchen tent, coolers etc. A HUGE THANK YOU to her and Kevin!!! There seemed to be a huge number of photos taken this year. Dan Yokum and I did two different air-to-air photo shoots with pro photographers. Shelly g ot a couple a GREAT money shots from last night's sunset flying. We will ge t to see them soon here. This morning (Sunday) we awoke to a dark mass head ing our way from the west. Dan Yokum had to roust the EAA chapter guys out of the kitchen in order to open the fuel pumps for us early. We hurredly re -fueled and left just in the nick of time as the rain started to fall. I ac tually flew through the first two minutes of rain before I could out run it . A georgeous morning the rest of the way back to Poplar Grove, headed east , with light ground fog- the early morning sun dancing and glistening as we crawled our way back home ahead of the storm. A wondrous place to be, Brodhead WI. at the annual Pietenpol fly-in. No par king fees, no entrance fees, no hassle. Warm friendly people from all walks of life, literally from across the globe, all milling around, savoring eac h sight, and loving each minute. Makes you really feel good about being a p art of this human race.

For those of us who for various reasons couldn't make it this year, it was good to read that life is still good at Brodhead. Actually, today I feel good knowing that I'm NOT there, because Sunday morning at Brodhead always seems sort of sad. Safe travels to everyone getting home, and I'm already planning next year's trip.

Most are about grandkids, mis sing Brodhead, rides, etc but there is a lack of "Do Not Archive" tags on t hose posts.- Please don't clutter up the archives with messages that are not going to be of use to listers in the future. Someone looking for building info years f rom now doesn't care if you had OSH tickets that you couldn't use in 2012. Larry (Top Curmudgeon) Williams ps. If you check out Shelly's signature she has incorporated "Do Not Archiv e" into it.
