The Barry family leaves Harlem, GA at approximately 7 PM Friday afternoon putting us in Muncie around 6 AM Saturday.

What time are you guys leaving and when do you expect to be there?

Derek I had planned to travel Friday (11 hours) but since this wind won't quit here in KC and can't get any practice I'll travel Thursday and will be found on Muncie grass Friday.

My bass would fit in the Prius fine, but I let 'em go alive! Amp is an energy drink, right? I don't do any of that stuff. Coke Classic is a pretty strong 'upper' for me.

I'm leaving home Saturday morning to be in Muncie in the afternoon. Kinda hard to leave this 70 to 80 degree weather with no rain or wind. Salmon are starting to show up and our refrigerator is stuffed with Dungeness crab. I'll tough it out somehow, it is only a week.

We are planning to arrive Saturday afternoon early. I won't be flying this year, the knee isn't ready, but Ben will be flying beginner Sunday.

I need to get some of those from you to try on the Matrix. If they make that plane fly, they truly are amazing.

I have some that PJ was kind enough to send me but they are far too nice to put on an old dog like the Matrix.

Eric Viglione · « **Reply #36 on:** July 09, 2013, 01:49:44 PM »

Me too Randy... I could do 12hrs driving in a day, but I will not do 19hrs again. It's not worth the time to recoup being a zombie the next day.

I'll prolly roll in late Sat night, if I can sneak out a half day on Fri.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #37 on:** July 09, 2013, 04:16:20 PM »

Heck, Randy, I just drive until I get tired, get a motel room, and do it again the next day until I get there...................

You could do it in (2) 16 hour days, (4) 8 hour days..........

Just thought I'd put up a picture from last Sat. Roger Wildman and his new "California Beamer". We had the L-pad all to ourself.

I plan on doing some VG testing in the upcoming year. I have a feeling that they could help my heavier planes.

Hey Will, after seeing your post in the scale section, it dawned on me that 2 1/2 hours is a daily commute to and from work for some of us.
