This the temp

On the inside of the roof of the green tent. The temp on the side of the green tent is 108

Hot

Work this morning -

Today it was cool enough to assemble the silver canopy.  Huston is off to visit a customer today. So, tomorrow morning we will finish the assembly as it will take all 4 of us.

We did cook breakfast in the campsite.

Almost 11pm

The rumbles have started. I hope there is some rain, as it's still 82 here in the camp site

Oshkosh

Only up here when it's 100 deg's would you find this sign. I guess it's only a month till everything freezes over

Inside the green tent

Flying the ARDrone

Tomorrow

Tomorrow will be the aerial flight and video of the camp site using my ARDrone

If I don't crash :-)


Tonights storm

I uploaded this video to Vimeo, rather than the Google Blogger as some cold not play it.

Tonight the storm

Bob

How hot

Is it on the inside of of the green tent

It getting dark!

Severe thunderstorm warning, again.

Still alive in Oshkosh

No one died last night in the storm. From a rain standpoint it was a dud! Thank God. Just a few sprinkles, but the lighting was great.  One strike was close by, but it continued across the sky to land somewhere on the other side of the airport.

It is now sprinkling just a little, which is going to keep the heat down for a while.  Of course when the sun does come out the humidity will go to 150%.

Today we will get the remainder of the camp set up, except the large silver canipoy over the trailer.  It to big and heavy for the 4 of us. Where is my Joe and Paul's Peter when you need them?

A hot rainy day at Oshkosh is better than any day in the office.

Oh yea one more thing

Oh yea, I forgot to mention... Remember last year the BILLION flys, caused by the hay.... With no wind last night, and none this morning there are mosquitos, Lots of them, no LOTS of them. I took shower in deet. They hovered about a foot away looking hungry.
Hello All from Oshkosh,

It's 5:30 here, just woke up. Just to let you know the camp site is a MESS! It was HOT yesterday, but today the heat index is predicted to be over a hundred! Right now it's 70 or so, with a high thin cloud deck, very nice.

Work on the campsite was very slow do to the heat. Our tents are up and the frame for the green tent is assembled. It turns out that we had it wrong last year. Some of the poles were assembled incorrectly. We lost an hour on it. The cooking gear is still in the trailer. We figure today we can work till about 10am before it will get to hot to do much (the productivity will go to hell). First up is the green tent, after we water proof it, so we can get some shade.

Pictures later

What time is it in Indiana

As we were driving across Indiana we were trying to figure out what time we would arrive at the hotel.  We thought that Indiana did not observe daylight savings time, well they do, BUT.......

As far as time is concerned - INDIANA is screwed up,

Read this

What time is it??

Welcome to Indiana


More than in California.

No web cam

We do have electronics. That is my iPad running Navigon, a great turn by turn system

No web cam thanks to Continental. What does an airline have to do with it. They lost my bag with the modem in it.

We left at 7:30 today, the bag arrived last night at 5pm into EWR. The bag arrived at 2 pm today at my house.

So it took my bag 5 hours to get to EWR from LAX (on a different flight than I was on).

So 2450 miles in 5 hours is 490 MPH. Then the 32 miles from EWR to my house was at 1.52 mph.

So the total trip speed was less than any of the Canonball coast to coast races at 95 miles per hour!

Thank God I have a spare cpap machine.

Also why was the modem in my bag Paul P gave it to me so I could set it up last night to be ready.

Bob and the road team

7:30 am departure

We are now out side of Lock Haven PA
