[erco]

Hey m8's,

[JensenPark]

Where in the world is Waldo.

And Oskosh for that matter?

[erco]

Well, Waldo is about 20 miles WSW of Sheboygan Wisconsin, and Oshkosh is the center of the aviation universe, but can also be found around 45 miles NW of Waldo, as the crow flies, on the shores of picturesque Lake Winnebago. 

[Sid]

Hope you have as good a time as we had at Duxford

[Klinger]

Damn, thats some science fiction firetruck Sid.

Heres the effect it had on the crew :

[Blairgowrie]

I could be talked in to a visit to Oshkosh next year.

[erco]

Indeed Sid, those trucks are built in Oshkosh, also made there are the Oshkosh B'Gosh clothes (at least, the headquarters are there) and Oshkosh is also the home of Basler Aero, the guys who make the BT67D, ie, the stretched turboprop version of the DC-3/C-47.

I had plans of going this year till I lost my job back at Christmas, and took a $16,000 paycut, two kids in college, and left paying a $560.00 truck payment the Company was doing for me. But now that I'm out of management after 15 years and back to being a Technician, I am a whole lot happier, and its like a working Vacation compared.

Guess what you can't get rid of a 2007 Z71 Silverado Crew cab now days.

If I can get things turned around I would love to go next year for sure.

[BadAim]

That would be great, I'm not sure 'bout driving it though, I'll have to break out the map and compass.

[DD_Bucky]

Y'know,this could be do-able for me.As for finding this place,I know I could face West,..and then real sudden-like,turn Left and go..lol

Well I live near Springfield Mo. on I-44 and if we were to camp, and car pool, from here, I can supply a truck and some camping equipment, I no longer have a tent, but most everything else.

Well I have a truck as long as I keep making the payments. 5 guys could fit 4 comfortably.

I hardly drive it, and it has just barley 10K on it, and will have barley more than then by then too. Should be quite dependable, and it avrages around 17 mpg per tank, highway/city combined.

I would love to get together with some Dogz.
