Sorry, I did not see who posted the last message, I was clicking the mouse button to stop the WebBoard. I will try to post updates on what will happen when we come back up, but it depends on what I am allowed to say. See you all in a few weeks.
The hamster can finally relax (at least for a little while).

I posted a message that had a time stamp of 5pm, the board appeared to be available for about another 10 or 15 seconds after that.
Does the last poster get an AOPA hat?
I ask as I lost my last AOPA hat, the headband on my Mooney hat broke and I ran over my Maule hat with the lawn mower.

Thanks, Robert, for keeping us informed! We all look forward to news about how the remodeling is coming along.

Incidentally .. the AOPA chat server is still operating if you
have mIRC or Pirch to access it:
65.125.13.143 Port 6667
I don't know if they'll kill that too when they figure out
it's still operating.
Quite often there's someone there about 8pm central.

Richard,
Last Thursday was the first time I was up in a GA aircraft since last October...enough penance. New engine should be in and the plane ready any day now.

Wouldn't you know it?! I went in and unsubscribed to the mailing lists. I didn't even think about getting the last post by email.

Hey, I was still subscribed! The last email I got was Len's (timed at 5:00) about the fish. I didn't understand the fish part though.Carol said:Wouldn't you know it?! I went in and unsubscribed to the mailing lists. I didn't even think about getting the last post by email.
The next to last email was from Beth (at 4:59), I understood that one.

Did he say something like "So long and thanks for all the fish"?

It's from "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" trilogy. (Four books in the trilogy)
So, what does it mean?
It was interesting today looking at all the people who were online at the end. Like we were all watching the end of an era.

Diana, I am shocked that you haven't read the HHG. You really need to get those books and read them. They're really weird but it's a kind of right of passage thing. Scary bit is that they actually make sense after a while.
Long story short and without giving way the plot in the least: It was the dolphin's last message to the Earth.
Very appropriate in context and delivery as we all said goodbye to the webboard.
Diana said:
It was. I missed the end by about 3 minutes.
Any chance you still have that message? It should go in the archives.

Very appropriate. Diana, if you still have that would you email it to me?

Legs. Who can forget Ron's legs? (part of LM, but a classic in and of itself).
And Karin's windsock calibration....
Wish some of those had been saved.

I need another book to read when I am at FBO's. Does anyone know if you can still buy those at Barns and Nobel or some where like that?

If you can't then we need to take a serious look at what we call "progress". I'm sure Amazon has them.
