Sunday was quite an adventure!  The TEOSAWKI can now be declared to be suitable for all-weather operations!

I really wish I could have been there.............

[Jim Morris]

Sorry I missed it. I did the usual practice on Sat. here at home then drive up Sun. morn. and fly in the contest. Woke up, pooring rain and windy. Went back to bed. Saved  $1000.00 in gas.

I wish I could have been there too, at least Saturday.  You missed very little on Sunday, except the experience of being cold and wet.  The CD and his troops did a great job of salvaging something out of Sunday,especially the judges who were soaked in about five minutes but toughed it out.  Mother Nature handed them a real raw deal.
