It's been a busy few days. Tuesday I took the day off to finish getting the aircraft ready for the huge EAA Fly-In at Oshkosh. This evening I finished packing and pilling all the stuff in the trunk of the car. Tomorrow morning, weather permitting, we'll fly to Green Bay, WI, with a customs stop at Chippewa County airport, just south of Sault Ste Marie, MI. We'll spend a night or two with one of Terry's many sisters, then fly to Oshkosh on either Saturday afternoon or first thing Sunday morning. Terry wants to get the full Oshkosh experience, so she'll camp with me for a few days before bailing out to spend time with her sisters. We're really looking forward to the trip.

The weather forecast for tomorrow looks a bit questionable at the moment, with a low pressure area, associated warm and cold fronts, and some thunderstorm activity moving through Wisconsin and Michigan. I'll see how things look tomorrow morning and decide on whether it is feasible to do the trip, and if so, which route we'll take. If need be, we'll delay a day.

Update 6:45 AM 23 July 2010 - The weather story changed quite a bit overnight, with the convective activity now much further south than was forecast last night. We'll launch for Sault Ste Marie, MI in two hours or so, and then on to Green Bay. It won't be a very scenic trip, as we should either be in cloud, or be above an undercast layer for much of the way. But, there shouldn't be any convective activity, and the ceiling and visibility for the approches should be VFR, or close to it.

Update 6:00 PM 23 July 2010 - We made to Green Bay - it was a great trip. More details to follow later.
