My boyfriend loves Oshkosh overalls, but his last pair just hit the rag pile. I know the company discontinued their adult clothing line, but I was hoping to find someone who knew of a place they could still be found.
The company itself does not sell them on their website, only children’s apparel.

I need to find a good cheap moped in Oshkosh or very near. Any suggestions? It doesn’t need to look pretty!

I just don’t know where to look first. A used one is fine by me, prefer it to be in Oshkosh so it is easy to check out and hopefully affordable enough to buy.

Senior Pilots Drawn to Light Sport Aircraft
Filed Under Oshkosh | Comments Off
Dan Pimentel asked:
Copyright (c) 2008 Dan Pimentel
A good friend returned from EAA’s 2007 Airventure Oshkosh Airshow holding delivery position #426 on a new Cessna Model 162 Skycatcher. I’d been trying to track down a C162 buyer for a while, so this is great timing as I want to find out what is drawing current, licensed private pilots to the Skycatcher. What I found did not really surprise me.
At 78.5 years young, Fresno pilot John Pugliese has amassed 7,000 hours in a pilot career that has included ownership of a Fairchild PT-23, a Cessna 120 and his current bird, a 1952 Cessna 170. After a heart attack in the early ’90s, Pugliese must now undergo additional scrutiny each time he is re-issued a third-class medical card. And while he has good health today to flies with an FAA medical card, he knows that may not be the case forever. “I’m hoping that Cessna can deliver my Skycatcher before the day comes when the medical card cannot be re-issued.”
I’m certain Pugliese is not the only “senior” private pilot who is looking at Light Sport aircraft as a sort of “workaround” to current FAA medical rules. And as a refresher, let me pass along what the FAA says about the subject of Sport Pilot medicals.
Sport Pilot licensing rules require either a third-class FAA medical certificate or a current and valid U.S. driver’s license as evidence of medical eligibility (provided the individual’s most recent application for an FAA medical certificate was not denied, revoked, suspended or withdrawn). So as long as a pilot can move into an LSA before he/she is denied, all is well and good. However, once FAA takes that card away, those denied pilots cannot use a driver’s license in lieu of the medical card.
As an experienced aviator, Pugliese picked the Skycatcher for a number of reasons. “The main thing was the hydraulic brakes” he said. “I’m an old taildragger driver from way back, and sometimes you have to almost lock up one wheel to keep things straight. And nothing against Rotax, but I like that Cessna is putting Continentals in the Skycatcher, since it will be easy to find service coast-to-coast on that engine. I also like that I will be able to get parts through an established Cessna dealer network. And at just over five feet tall, I’m happy the Skycatcher’s rudder pedals are adjustable. The plane fits me fine, and is really a great looking airplane!”
As a successful businessman, Pugliese knows that the $109,000 base price will climb before delivery day. A clause in the Cessna contract allows for cost of living increases and with California sales tax that he says is a staggering nine percent, John expects the Skycatcher to come in at around $140,000 without wheel pants or a ballistic chute. He expects that by the time Cessna delivers the 162, the Garmin G300 panel will change for the better, as avionics always do.
Bottom line: John Pugliese is one of those older pilots we all love…nice as can be, true to his fellow pilots, and always willing to take a young kid flying to spark their internal fires. When he gets the Skycatcher, it’ll make a perfect platform to serve his mission profile, which is to poke holes in the sky while converting fossilized dinosaurs into altitude to chase down the elusive airport hamburger.

I am wondering how you think I will end up paying at the end of the month with water, electric, tax, whatever, all included. If you include heat do it seperatly since it won’t be a year long thing.
Remember Wisconsin’s price of living isn’t like New York or Cali.

Nursing School Students: Is An Online Degree The Right Choice For You?
Filed Under Oshkosh | Comments Off
Ruby Nicholson asked:
Prospective nursing school students, are you considering an online nursing degree as one of your options? Well, we’ve got good news and bad news for you.
You can already imagine the many advantages of online courses: setting up a schedule that’s convenient for you, no commute, no parking hassles, saving on gas money or public transportation costs, and being able to work and go to school at the same time.
However, it is not possible to get every type of degree online - and there is no such thing as a Licensed Practical Nursing Degree or Associate’s Degree in nursing that can be obtained entirely online. This is for good reason: one of the most vital components of a nursing student’s education is to gain practical real world experience in a hospital or other medical setting, under the observation and direction of a registered nurse.
To our knowledge, there is only one nursing school program in the country which allows its students to complete even the majority of their course study online to get an R.N. degree - the Online Accelerated Nursing Program at the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh. It is intended for people who already have a bachelor’s degree. The school’s online program accepts only a very limited number of students. You must have numerous prerequisite courses completed, and have excellent grades in those courses, before you can even apply. Many states do not offer the clinicals that students must take, under the supervision of an RN, in order to complete the course, so students who live in those states can’t take the program. Also students must go to the Oshkosh campus several times in order to do clinicals and take various tests there.
So what kind of nursing degree can you get online?
After taking a one-year course at a community college, vocational school, or private career college, to become a Licensed Practical Nurse, and after getting licensed as a practical nurse, there are many online LPN to RN programs, and they are becoming more popular as the demand for registered nurses grows greater.
There are also online paramedic-to-RN courses, and there are online respiratory therapist-to-RN courses.
In all three of these cases, it is vitally important to contact your state Board of Nursing to make sure that they accredit the school that is offering the online degree.
If they don’t, then even if you successfully complete the course, you can not take the NCLEX-RN and work as a nurse in your state. Some states will accept online LPN to RN programs, but not other types of online nursing programs. Some states will accept certain schools’ online LPN to RN degree programs, but not other schools.
There are also online LPN to Bachelor’s Degree of Science in nursing programs, online RN to Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Nursing Programs, online Master’s Degree in Nursing Programs…so there is a lot that can be accomplished with online nursing schools. However, you can not get all of your nursing training online, and that’s actually a good thing. Think about it. Would you want to be cared for and have your life in the hands of a nurse whose only training was online?
