Yeah we even felt it's affects up here in the GWN! (Great White North).
The end of season and Canadian Ontario Regionals was rained out on Saturday in Chatham. We didn't suffer to much though as we got to droool over some very nice cars Saturday afternoon courtesy of 3D Donny.

Don is one of the shop managers of RM Restorations in Chatham Ontario and aranged a Private Tour of the facilities and Museum/Show Room. We even saw a 1936 Lincoln Continental owned by Kidd Rock. We got to peek inside and go behind the ropes at the Museum Not bad for not beeing able to fly!

Ok, Ok, seems like I am not the only instigator in the North Central. The Chicken Wing will indeed be held this year at the Cincinnati field on November 1 and 2. All are welcome to come down and participate. We try to have the proposed knowns for all classes for the next year so they can be flown and recommend changes to them.

A few things I would like to clear up:
1. You will never hear me say y'all.
2. I do not foot the bill for the chicken wings and/or beer--I think I heard Rick say something about covering that (Kroeze not Musselman).
3. We will have some form of lunch available at the field but bring your own drinks.
4. Very cool tour arranged by Don McLellan--I wish I would have been there--thanks for the pics!
5. Momma, love the avatar!

I will post a flyer and map once power is restored to our home (it's been 48 hours now). We've been told to expect to be without power for most of the week. We did indeed get our butts kicked this weekend--the local news has been comparing it to a hurricaine as some of the wind gusts were over 76 mph. The really weird thing is that it was only wind--no rain--so at least we didn't have to contend with that. I know have a little idea what our southern bretheren go through when they are hit with one.

Bottom line is give me a little time, more information is forthcoming!!!

We are fine, just a little banged up. Shingles off the roof, gutters down, trees down everywhere. It is kinda like out of a movie or something--people waiting in line almost 2 hours to fill up their gas tanks, stores that are actually open have empty shelves, looting... Apparently a significant number of our electric comapnies service personnel went to Texas for hurricaine relief and left us to deal with a major wide-spread power outage with a skeleton crew. I heard on the news that a bunch of service workers were coming up from the Carolinas to help out!! Thanks to them! Things seem to be getting better today--I saw a lot more places with power this morning on my way to work.

Yes, Rick, you need to bring your wallet. As you know, the North Central crew can put away some brew and throw down a lot of chicken wings!

WOW....
Ike was a b*itch!

But they don't take Canadian currency!!!

Glad to hear you guys are OK. Now the important question is, no planes were damaged right?

Definately sounds like you've earned a beer or 2 or ... I'm buying at least one of them.

Y'all was referring to a joke that was told at the last wing.

There were no airplanes damaged and that goes for models and full scale as well. I think we lucked out there since our airplanes are tied down facing south and that was where the wind was coming from. And you are correct, we have earned a beer or two, but we have already had those since we had to drink them before they got warm, you know, there was no way to keep them cold so they had to go.

I do remember the joke from the last "wing", I was just trying to yank Cheryl's chain!!

Marian, glad you all are ok. I sent you an email.

Marian... You weren't out on the tarmac trying to hold the planes into the wind?
