Not yet sure about Oshkosh. I do need to get an ANR headset (being deaf in one ear now and all) so I'll probably come in midweek for a spell.
How about a larger version of the picture - or did I miss it?

And the bill is in from Mayo: $800.

There goes the new headset.

Bob,

If an ANR headset is all that is keeping you from Osh, I am sure we can come up with a few dozen loaners!

Default I've got one I can loan

Come on, Bob...after everything you've been through, how can you NOT get to OSH and let us congratulate you??? Your public awaits! I have a noise attenuating David Clark headset I can loan you. From one "deaf in one ear" guy to another, get to OSH! I'll be there to say hello!

Congratulations Bob! I remember getting the phone call from Transport Canada informing me that my medical had been restored after my heart valve replacement. I was on air for the rest of the day. Then I was IN air as soon as possible! One of the best days of my life. I distinctly remember whooping at the top of my lungs as my wheels broke the surly bonds. I am incredibly happy for you
