Any Midwesterners up for lunch on the 29 Feb?

[ScottM]

I was gonna head out somewhere on Sunday for lunch. I have no preference which direction. Anyone want to meet up somewhere?

Some suggestions:

Sheyboygan
Valparasio
anything out west
etc!

My calendar lists Sunday of this year as March 1st, Scott.

Otherwise, have fun! A bit too far of a trip for me to bother with tomorrow. Got a few other things going on.

There's a pancake thing at SBM on Sunday.

You should buy a new calendar with all the dates on it then

I know, the date is was a joke. I did it because I still have an analog watch and it will say the 29th on Sunday, probably until I notice the date is wrong sometime on Monday the 30th ;-)

The getting together is not though.

I wish I could Scott but had foot surgery this week and I'm self grounding for at least a month.

Well I hope your foot heals pretty quick!!

 

[vontresc]

Personally I'd vote for something other than SBM I keep going there too much

Valpo sounds interesting, and I'm pretty sure someone could give you a ride Barry.

 

[bstratt]

Thanks for the offer but right now I'm enjoying my time on Vicodin!! or is it this!

 

[jesse]

KLNK would be a good choice

KLNK would be a good choice

+1
Hope to see you here.

 

[gprellwitz]

I'll need to talk to Leslie. She's up now working on her flight review. I'm not even current to carry passengers at the moment. KLNK would be a little far; we can't afford a 1 AMU lunch.

I am thinking Strowbow INN since SBM is having a fly in.

Yeah, but we'll be clipping the corner of NE heading to 1V6 in CO. KLNK is just about on the route, and half way there.

 

[bbchien]

Scott, I'll watch this string. I'm game, but LNK is a bit far....

 

[vontresc]

Soooo when are we meeting in Valpo???

 

[tonycondon]

ICT seems like a good choice.

 

[purdue1014]

Ugh...If only a ittybitty 10 page paper on the locus of control in teenagers didn't exist, I'd be there...

I'll get there one of these times, sigh...

 

[gprellwitz]

Sorry, but we're out.

 

[bbchien]

Scott I'd be up for Morris in the AM if you're interested. See your PM for cellphone.

We might be up to a drive to Morris! Scott, you've got my cell. We'd need a couple hours notice.

 

[bbchien]

Ooooh! If there's a car we can go 2 miles to the "our place" restaurant, simply one of the BEST truckstop restaurant in the state.

Yes, we'll have to, because the restaurant on the field is closed. But we'll be happy to shuttle people. I think you have our phone number too. Later is better for me (you can see when I'm going to bed), but with two hours notice we could make it as early as 9:00. Don't need more than 3 hours sleep!

 

[vontresc]

So where we going Morris, Valpo???

 

[ScottM]

So where we going Morris, Valpo???

Then there is also Griffith-Merriville for Mexican food! I am waiting for 'she who must be obeyed' to wake up and let me know.

Winds look a little fun today! But other than that no adverse weather.

 

[bbchien]

Scott:Got the pm; Valpo is ok but at the edge of call range. Let us know when SWMB Obeyed is awake; mine is away in NYC.

She is leaning towards Mexican at Griffith Merrilville (05C) which is inside you cellphone range. How does meeting there at noon sound?

 

[ScottM]

Ok just looked at the WX and there is lake effect snow at 05C and Valpo. While VFR now lake effect can be fickle and end up dumping lots of snow.

So how about we fall back to Morris?

I spoke with Grant and he and Leslie will drive and do a shuttle service from the airport to the restaurant for the us who fly in?

 

[ScottM]

Ok spoke with Grant, Leslie, Pete, and Bruce. noon at Morris it is.

 

[gprellwitz]

Cool. We'll bring two cars and a transceiver tuned to 122.8. Just include "P.O.A." when entering the pattern.

"Any POA traffic in the area please advise"

 

[gprellwitz]

We had a great time. Pete wasn't able to make it due to electrical problems, but the rest of us enjoyed "R Place", only a couple miles down from the airport. Scott made friends with Mustafa, the airport cat.

 

[tonycondon]

pete have electrical problems again? that guy has issues.

 

[vontresc]

Well it was more of a self-induced electrical problem. I seem to have warmed up the plane, and taken off with the alternator part of the master switch off.... D'oh! ended up getting a jump at Campbell. Just bummed around on the way back home to Madison and the battery seems to be happy again.

 

[gprellwitz]

Yeah, he commented on that too. We also called ApacheBob, but he wasn't able to make it.

 

[bbchien]

Hey, that's a great shot!

That is a good picture! Mustafa is a great cat!! He turned to look at the camera almost on cue! It was a pretty good flying day too. The winds were a little gusty but not too bad. The ride back up north was faster than I thought it would be, we had a 100knots GS the whole way. Winds at my home aerodrome were straight out of the north. A 90 degree crosswind. But the landing was easy, just slipped it in, not even exciting.

Pete sorry you could not make it and had a switch that appeared to set it self to OFFicial mode without any known human intereaction It was just like magic!

Grant, Leslie, Bruce, good to see you guys and get a day away!

Pete: It's all because you didn't call to tell me you were going and take me with you to read you checklists.

You couldda called me.

Darn it. I had not checked POA this weekend, but would have went. Oh well, next time.
