FSS at Oshkosh this year?
Has anyone heard if FSS will be at the show this year? Due to the Federal budget sequestration, if the FAA was holding back on staffing ATC, I'm sure that FSS staff was also cut. Having FSS on the field for weather briefings is just as important as having ATC working.

OK that's fine for folks that have those "toys"; I'm too cheap to buy the most current technology, especially when I just don't have a real need for them. I do have a cell, but it's one of those dumb phones. Most of the time the phone is turned off or not with me.
Since when must I be talking to someone at any given moment? I frankly don’t have that much to say most of the time anyway
We are on our own, thanks Washington!
I guess I'm turning into a grumpy old guy!
