July 26 -EAA AirVenture - Day 7

Today is the last day of AirVenture 2015. Yesterday I forgot to mention that in the afternoon when everyone was at the air show, George took the RV over to the dump station to dump the black & gray holding tanks and to replenish the potable water, so this morning when we got up, there was easy 50 RVs in line to dump their tanks. 

We rode our scooters down to the Ultralight barn, and the first thing we noticed on the way was all of the planes were mostly gone. Yesterday all the fields were covered with parked planes. The numerous acreage of fields that were once filled with wall to wall RVs also were beginning to thin out. Well the plan was to see the ultralights and then take a connecting bus down to Lake Winnebago to see the sea planes moored. That plan was dismissed when most of the ultralights were gone and the bus service to the seaplanes were discontinued. George bought orange cheddar deep fried cheese curds which we ate while waiting for the tram to pick up. At first we were going to ride the tram to the shopping area but George said he was worried that we would be miles away from our scooters if they should discontinue the trams. It was hotter than hades. And the humidity was 56%!!! There was no breeze at all hardly, and a tent in the shade with a fan was a blessing. The very first day we were at the EAA AirVenture Convention, we didn't have our chairs and we didn't want to repeat that. So the plan was to go back to the RV eat lunch and grab the folding chairs and go back to the Air Show. What I want to know is what happened to the 78 degree temps? Anyways, we decided not to go to the air show since it was a repeat of Friday's show. I wrote checks to pay bills so we went to the post office by SUV and then to Target to find a bike lock with less tension in the cable. Ended up going to a bike shop for the lock. Then we went to the Pick & Save grocery store. While we were there the F-22 flew over as it turned around to perform at the air show! I love that jet, and part of the love affair is the sound it makes! George asked me which plane was my favorite? I said the F-22 and his favorite was the Screaming Sasquatch which was part jet & part propeller driven plane by Jack Links jerky. Earlier in the day I marinated pork chops with crushed pineapple, Worcestershire sauce, teriyaki sauce and soy sauce. George grilled them along with bell peppers for dinner. George put away the outside stuff and I put away the inside stuff in preparation for our departure tomorrow. I had tried to get reservations in Madison, Wisconsin for the day before the FMCA Rally but all were booked so I had to get one an hour away in Portage, Wisconsin.
