Sun01Mar options : Training Hill yet again?

Post by markc »

Trying not to armchair-QB the obs from the Woodstock stn Sat afternoon.... Didn't break 30 degrees, so I'm telling myself it was a good call not to fly! :D

And now there's Sunday : Light WSW going SW. Yet another day at Taylor? I suppose it wouldn't hurt... Anyone else giving it some thought?

On second look, it *did* break 30 degrees at WS launch on Sat, for 45 minutes! Balmy!!

Was kinda hoping for crickets on the Taylor idea. And here's Matt chiming in, darn it! Now I gotta go I guess... :-)

Will prob head that way unless the forecast changes radically tomorrow AM. Launch-n-land, launch-n-land, it's good for ya!!!!

I spent the day making two trips to Harrisonburg and back up 81. Winds were gusty all day. Not fun driving truck and 9,000 lb trailer. I don’t think you missed anything....beyond freezing bodily parts off.
