Tuesday, July 29<\/p>\n
In the morning we all loaded up in the car and drove to a lot that had a sign next to it that said EAA BUS.\u00a0 <\/span>A bus came up that said “EMPLOYEES\/VOLUNTEERS”.\u00a0 <\/span>We asked the driver if there was another bus we should wait for, but she said we could ride her bus.\u00a0 <\/span>When we asked what bus we should take, she went on and on about how everyone was trying to save a buck and she’d take people as long as she wasn’t full of volunteers.\u00a0 <\/span>(It was only when we came back home, we noticed that the other side of the sign next to the parking lot said “EMPLOYEES\/VOLUNTEERS”.)<\/p>\n The rest of the week was a series of attempts to solve logistical issue of getting all of us to the event grounds in the morning and back home at night.\u00a0 <\/span>We settled on whoever wanted to get there early and leave late would take the bus. Unfortunately, the city bus stopped running before 7 pm, so Randy would pick us up in the car wherever the bus ended up if we couldn’t get the bus drive to stop at 6th Street.\u00a0 <\/span>To get there in the morning, we had to leave the house at 7, walk the four blocks or so to the city bus stop at 5th Street, wait for the 7:23 bus, take that to the bus terminal downtown, wait there another 20 minutes for an EAA bus that would then go by the college to pick up a ton of people and then take you to the event bus stop. That would get us there in time for the first workshops of the day at 8:30 a.m. On Tuesday after the air show it started raining while we were in line for the bus to the airport terminal.\u00a0 <\/span>Fortunately, I had carried two umbrellas and my waterproof jacket with me, enough for Uncle Stacy, Berck, and me.\u00a0 <\/span>It started pouring as soon as we got on the bus, and Randy picked us up at the airport.<\/p>\n We ate a lot of terrible vendor food at the event center.\u00a0 <\/span>All they had available to drink was Pepsi products, usually just Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and Mountain Dew, but you could get a root beer float at the A&W stands.\u00a0 <\/span>There was a concession tent at the far parking lot just outside the event area that had pretty good brisket sandwiches, fried cheese curds, and beer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tuesday, July 29 In the morning we all loaded up in the car and drove to a lot that had a sign next to it that said EAA BUS.\u00a0 A bus came up that said “EMPLOYEES\/VOLUNTEERS”.\u00a0 We asked the driver if there was another bus we should wait for, but she said we could ride…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-flying","category-wanderings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3720"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3720\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3722,"href":"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3720\/revisions\/3722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
