MAX Update No. 55: No Go in Rally Green

Reader Contribution by Staff

Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.

— John Lennon

I didn’t make it to Rally Green. These last two weeks did not go according to plan.

I’d given myself a full week to get MAX from Oregon the Iowa, so it could be a leisurely drive and I could show off the new body to some friends. I even had my doctor give me a physical the day before my departure.

“How long have you had that unsightly growth on your face?” she asked. When I told her all my life, she said “Not your nose, the other one.” Shen then went on to set up an emergency appointment with a (gulp) specialist in such things … an appointment which I missed because it turned out there was an aircraft accident scheduled for the same time slot and I was busy being first responder instead. So I spent the next week haunting the dermatologist’s office and waiting for somebody else to miss their appointment, and calling Bill Bushholz of Rally Green every evening and saying “I’ll catch up with you guys soon; no I haven’t left yet.” Of course, once the rally started, catching up with it got easier because they were coming west.
