Maybe we could have a big WIX campout in the desert complete with all kinds of exhibits, artwork, performance art (airplanes flying), keggers...we could call it BURNING BILL and have a big bonfire at the end. :lol: :twisted: I kid, I kid....for those of you who didn't get it, go to http://www.burningman.com/ to see where I got the idea. No I've never attended.


Now that there's funny. I don't care who ya' are.

Usually, humor on the forum will get a smile out of me. This made me laugh out loud.

Mudge the :lol:

:?: :?: Bill :?: not cool. bygones be bygones


It's ok, it's ok :shock: <breathe in> and exhale...3...2...1.... You got it dead wrong. Bill's a friend of mine, he still lurks this site and we're in regular contact since we share a common interest in not just warbirds but skiing in Aspen and info on colleges in Colorado for my daughters. We give each other sh1t in bare-knuckle good humour, so all's well.

Mudge, thanks for "getting it" that I was just razzing Bill. He already got in touch with me to suggest a good use for a lit T-33 tailpipe would be to light the bonfire at Burning Man

Getting back to the WIX bus idea, I think the crew bus from the Old Stick and Rudder Company would fit the bill perfectly......................

The question is. who goes upstairs, who goes downstairs and who do we trust enough to drive?

Maybe this driver? You'll get to the airport quicker:

...or this one? (in which case, stay downstairs!)
