The latest weather report says that the speed flyers will be wet, but once again it'll be decent weather for stunt & carrier.

Hopefully it won't be torrential downpours.

Leo,

    Planning on being there Saturday and Sunday.

    Do you know where I can park the new camper that replaces the VW ?
     I've got a new Mars, much better than last year's.

The VW was in better focus.  Be careful with this vehicle in traffic. People may have trouble seeing it, as fuzzy as it is.
