Somehow it wasn't NEARLY as funny the second time around. I think you had to be there, and part ownership of the keg was probably a requirement. There's a photo of the crime scene at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/redoak2003/030913214.jpg .
I won't swear that I'm going to fly to the Gathering, but I DID call my DAR today and start getting that stuff lined up. I told him to be looking for a call for me in a month or 6 weeks. If I can get away with it, I'm going to take a month off from work. If that happens, I'll be flying! Yesterday I wired up about thirty wires that had been dangling, including the stick. I now have trim, flaps, and PTT in the stick grip, and they WORK! Still waiting on seatbelts and the Ellison though. If I don't fly it to the Gathering, at least I should be able to converse intelligently about taxi testing, I'll bet...
