looks like more of the same.  There appears a slim chance I can get out on
Friday - always assuming the weather forecast is correct.   So its looking
at bit problematic whether I am going to make it at this point - keep your
fingers crossed and I'll rub the rabbits foot.

DRIVE? Did you say DRIVE?.  Drive 6-7 hours on interstate highways with 18
wheelers, SUVs, construction zones and senior citizens?( not to mention the
bears)  Drive? you say.  I consider the 10 mile trip to my air patch the
most hazardous part of any trip and you want me to drive 350 + miles?  Do
you think me daft?{:>) (no response required on that question - after all, I
do fly a rotary powered experimental aircraft ).

Come to think of it, I have not driven over  50 miles one- way since 2001.
Yeah, Ok, Ok -  I admit it, I am really spoiled by being able to hop in my
own aircraft and fly to destination and my hat is truly off to those of you
who drive much longer distances.  I can vaguely remember what those trips
were like, but thankfully most of the details have faded from memory.

In any case, I am betting that the weather is going to provide an
opportunity for a launch between now and Saturday - if it does not - then I
will seriously consider the (Ugh) alternative. {:>)
