July 25 - EAA AirVenture - Day 6

Today once again, I got up early and took the dogs out on their morning walk. However, this time I went back to sleep. George fed the dogs this morning. And yesterday, I forgot to mention in my blog that George appeared to be suffering from a weird ailment to his hands where they were a yellow orange color. With the Internet spotty here we texted our one daughter Jenn to ask her to look up fatigue and yellow orange hands. She couldn't find anything, although, when we were on I-41 in certain areas I was able to get my phone to work, and I found out it might be an allergic reaction to the sun.   But that was ruled out when I saw images of the ailment on Google. We decided to watch it and if it got any worse we would go to an urgent care. This morning George's hands were considerably lighter. It was really odd because I had the same weird thing on my right palm. Well today when George fed the dogs he found out what the weird yellow orange color was...food coloring from the dog food. Since he is scooped the food out with his hands that is how his hands became stained. I don't understand if dogs are color blind, why food manufacturers feel the need to put food coloring in the food. My biggest pet peeve is the red food coloring in dog or cat food. Anyway, I'm glad we didn't go to the urgent care. (That would have been a riot!). Today we went to the EAA museum. At first we thought we needed to buy tickets but then George noticed it was free for those who had the orange wrist bands, which we had. The museum was very nice and had a lot of hands on exhibits.  Didn't bring my camera to the museum so we had to use our phones. In the parking lot near where we boarded the museum bus there were a lot full of motorcycles and one of them was a trike that reminded me of a motorcycle version of "Herman Munster's" car only in yellow. At first we were going to go back to the RV but then decided we would get lunch in the AirVenture cafe and then take the tram down to the Ultralight barn. We had pulled pork sandwiches which were very tasty, and a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. Funny thing is we ended up just taking the tram for a ride and never got off until we reached the gate we had parked our scooters at. After dinner we went out in the nearby field to see the night air show but it just wasn't the same as being down on the Tarmac with the loud engine noises of the planes, jets, explosions & fireworks. Around 10pm we heard the fireworks going off and Abby barked at the distant noise. Tonight was the first night when the Mosquitos were thick, probably due to the fact that there was no wind at all.
