...who wouldn't have wanted to see what I saw and heard this evening. At 6:40 pm CDT I was barbequing ribs on my daughters deck and heard some round engines. I looked North and there was a 4 ship of T-6s (daughter lives in Antioch Il, just south of Wisconsin border, coulda been from Oshkosh or more likely Kenosha, where there is a large EAA chapter) at about 1500'. They were heading South and I guessed they were practicing formation for one of the local July 4 parades. Whoever they were, they flew great formation and looked and sounded great. Then, just 15 mins ago at 8:40 I saw a 6 ship of what appeard to be Cessna 310s also doing great formation and putting out smoke. Wish I had had an unrestricted view (trees interferred) but it was a great break. Cool! GB

Living in the desert, I see the military practicing occasionally, but I would have loved to have seen those 310s!

Gee, Kofi, that would have been a real problem. ....lessee-one dead mod, one new member in jail,yep, a real mess. There were a lot of ribs on site, two racks of St. Louis ribs and 2 of baby back ribs.....well prepared with greenbean's special rub. Flavored with smoke from mountain mahogony chips.....fries, spinich salad, garlic bread, and beer from the Point brewery in Stevens Point Wisconsin. Yepper, a good day made better by free airshows. BTW, say hi to henry for me. GB

Roger, it was pretty good, if I say so myself, BUT on this trip I have been ignoring my diet and spoiled much of the 23 pound weight loss I have sustained for 3 years.I will have to go strict Atkins when I get home. Break-break Kofi, the Point beer is better than I had remembered, kinda like a Pilsner Urquell or Budvar. However, as above, I will forswear beer when I go back on Atkins, even Old Peculiar . GB
