Yep, looks like the major stuff will be through by 3, but there's always the possibility of more developing behind it. If so, it should be small and quick. I maybe should have come and taken a hotel room last night....

I'll be hitting the road at around 3pm, but might push that back if it will mean avoiding lot of the rain.

Not really feeling it today, what with tomorrow's forecast looking blown out even at Woodstock (for me at least). I applaud those heading up just for the festivities, but I think Liz and I are going to stay home. If only the Pulpit wasn't such a long drive. Sorry. :oops:

If you're thinking of bailing today, you might want to RE-think..... Take a look at a radar loop, and you'll see that the front is pushing through at the Pulpit *right now*. And I don't see much likelihood of anything behind it. Yeah, there could be a pop-up or two, but even if so, that's not going to ruin the day. And the chance of rain on the NWS hourly is now only 23% at 4pm. Woo-hoo!

Come on up!!!! 8)

ah shucks. I'm always loath to back out of something I'd said I'd do. damn stuff's been mostly packed already. maybe someone would need that extra wireman.

Four gliders set up. None flew. It was crankin' all afternoon without even a sucker lull. Still we had a better turnout than predicted, including from those who knew they weren't going to fly. Maybe 15-20 people altogether? There was an abbreviated nocturnal airshow commensurate with the smaller attendance. As always more than enough food and drink for everyone. I always seem to come home with more beer than I bring.

The fire was a major challenge requiring constant care. However, given the conditions, it was remarkably successful.

Tim from Ellenville(?) showed up around midnight on his way down south. Gary, Mark, and I left him in the parking area as we left this morning.

I wonder if Tim made it to Woodstock today? He was definitely interested.
