I was told that this was the wettest July in well over 100 years for the Oshkosh, Wisconsin area. Fortunately almost none of it fell during the EAA Airventure 2010 event.

Finally got the caps out - what a job!! The first one fought me ALL the way. Needed a 2 1/2 foot breaker bar and a second person. Even then it was tough going.
