Only one week to Oshkosh, and I’ve barely started getting ready. I think I need to write what I need so I can strike them out as they’re done.

You’ll note that I only plan to prepare breakfasts. OshawaPilot will verify that after a day of walking around Oshkosh I’m so wiped out that I’m useless for doing just about anything around the camp, so I’m planning to eat brats on the show site.
I’m also still having camera trouble – I bought a Minolta Maxuum 7D DSLR on eBay, but it was broken so I had to send it back, and I haven’t heard anything from them since.
Did you find someone to tag along?
No. I’ve tried the PilotBloggers, RFC and UpstateAv mailing lists, and now I’m trying the EAA Rideshare site.
Wow, I can’t believe you’re having problems with that – I figured that there would be countless people chomping at the bit for that sort of opportunity.
BTW, maybe add “preflight a few days ahead” to that list, perhaps. Just in case. 😉
