Made it to our first stop to spend the weekend with friends in Indiana.

WAR DAMN EAGLE!
Welcome to Oshkosh. Heat index for tomorrow is 100-105 and chance of severe storms. Sound familiar?? Cooler after Saturday.

At least I didn't have to pack and fuel the airplane this afternoon in 97F temperatures, which is probably 120 in the hangar and on the ramp.
I actually spent the past week doing what I do every year at this time...cosmetic work on the plane, as if I am going to display it in the Warbirds area. Didn't plan it that way. With covid vacation, I actually thought I would get it done before now. Habit prevails. The family is still planning on the post-Oshkosh visit to family in the Midwest we usually make every year, so there is some need to get those things done.
I am looking forward to the virtual forums, and the "Sim-Venture" arrival on Tuesday. I am getting the X-Plane simulator we have in the chapter house ready for that! (Too bad Simventure doesn't allow for flying my own airplane in the sim.)
The heat and high humidity made eastern WI a pretty miserable place yesterday. Don’t think tent camping would have been much fun. The predicted storms rolled thru the the area around 0300. At least the humidity has moved out albeit a little gusty this morning. Would be a great day for arrivals.

Better miserable in Oshkosh than miserable at home. There's at least airplanes in Oshkosh.
