Is that a dry rub?

MT because I tried to save a few pennies I utilized Greyhound for my trip home from KC. On the return leg the bus got there at midnight and NOTHING AT THE AIRPORT OPENDED UNTIL 5AM. I stood thier for 15 minutes staring at some fat old woman witha mustach waiting to buy coffee and ciggarets. she was doing nothing but reading a book and wouldnt open the door till 5.

moral: KC airport is not like a real cities

dude I spent over 12 hours in the KC airport in 1985 or 86. Pretty big airport but man it gets REAL boring after oh about 20 minutes

I don't plan on being in the airport any longer than it takes to rent a car and hit the road.

I sure hope you 13th TAS guys are in town.

Come to think of it, your virtual cut 'n paste jobs don't seem to have that effect either.

hehe

er... But it's no big deal. Most folks find that "rubbing off" on your guests is rude if not downright disgusting..

I lead by example. Have you lately?

Not to hijack, but...

One of the guys in the unit has an F4F recovered from Lake Michigan in his hagar in Lawrence

How did he work the deal with the Navy? I know there have been many ownership/recovery issues with most of those recovered so far. I did get to see the private flying F4F-3 at Oshkosh a few years back. Still had air in the tires and a working battery when they pulled it from the lake.

the best steak I ever had was a resteraunt that was damn near next door to the stock yards (Golden Ox, I think but it's been over 10 years).

Apathy, I've heard this before about West Coast beef but I thought the beef sucked in Maryland, (Never been to Kansas tho.)

I think it has to do with proximity to the cattle. I lived in Central California (ranch and farm country) and had some excellent steaks and beef ribs there.

MT, I apologize but I'm not going to be in town. I had looked forward to stuffing your liberal belly with truly outstanding right-wing KC BBQ and Boulevard Beer!

However, there's a very serious illness in my family and I'm in attendance in DC right now. I'll be here for an unknown amount of time until the situation resolves itself somewhat.

I'm sure String, Milo, Rude, Zip and the others will take good care of you. I hope you make it back another time when I'm in town. You would have enjoyed seeing the Labs work too, I think.

Enjoy!

Rip, yeah, sold the PT last summer. Nice thing is it was to a guy on the field. He kept it in the same hangar and joined my CAF unit with it. So, all went as well as it could.

NP Toad, Hope all goes well with your family, and yes I would enjoy watching a trained lab..... mine is just lovable in a Homer Simpson kind of way.
