RE: Lost my shop buddy last night
I feel for your loss. We lost a wonderful long time male cat (Smokey) earlier this year - he "escaped" through a screen window to chase bugs and never returned. He was deaf and could not hear us call him during our many searches. We then picked up two new Main Coon mix kittens from a shelter 8 weeks ago, Bullwinkle and Cubby - a brother and sister. Now, we just found out (after $800 in vet bills) that Cubby has FIP and only has a week or two left in her life. We really get attached to these guys and it hurts to lose them under any circumstance. Pets are great companions and are always there for us. Too bad more people are not that way.... Steve

RE: WW II weekend this weekend Reading, Pa
I have been attending for a number of years and I also felt it was a bit light-all around. Some years are better than others and as you know, things can be affected by the weather and condition/availability of the planes (like the B-24). I was there on Sunday and a surprise rain storm cancelled some of the late day activities. I did not see a P-51 fly other than early in the morning as I was driving in. I was a little dissapointed but even during "off years" this remains a great show. I will be back next year. Hopefully they have the engines mounted on the P-61 and have a P-47, P-38 or Spit at the show. Steve

RE: RE:
If you do a search on the internet you will find multiple hits for more info. Can't wait for the documentary! I remember seeing the documentary about Glacier Girl a number of years back and then had the chance to get up close to her at WWII Weekend in Reading PA. The plane looks better than it most likely was when it came off the assembly line - absolutely beautiful restoration job. Hopefully these spits follow the same path. I realized after the fact that I posted this in this forum - not the Warbirds forum where there are at least two other threads..... Steve

RE: WRAMS Show-2012
I hope that the new venue will allow the show to grow again to what it once was. The economy has not been a big help either - hopefully for all of us, that will also improve. I always like to see what the manufacturers/distributors have to show and what may be over the horizon. The past few years have been anemic with respect to the presence of the larger suppliers. That being said, it seemed a bit better this year. I was impressed with Robart's booth and Sullivan was there with a nice setup as usual. Some of the booths remain small and one absence I noted was Dave Brown Products. Although I like to pick up a "deal or two" at these events, in my opinion, I generally felt there were too many vendors peddling low quality merchanidse and not enough of the manufacturers showing their products. The static display and boat pond were great. It was also nice not having to pay for parking and bridge tolls! Steve
