Weather precluded launching for the Rotary Round up today and tomorrow
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.

Ah, come on Ed. If we can drive from S Florida (4-5 hours)to hear your
expertise, you can drive 5-6 hours from S Charlotte to the flyin.
Just get in that car friday afternoon if you can't fly and you'll be here
around 10-11pm :>)

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. {:>)
