Attention fellow ROCC'ers...
The weather forecasts have been pretty consistent about rain Friday night into Saturday morning, about the only uncertain thing is how much. Anywhere between 1/2" and 3/4" has been the amount most mentioned which would soak the field for Saturday. As of writing this on Thursday morning it's at .65"

Sunday looks to be the much better day, with Saturday left for drying out.
 We will therefore only fly on Sunday.
Ken is due to be with us then so bring your shopping lists.
It will be chilly on Sunday, high of 50 degrees with winds toward the south at 5-10 mph.
Set-up at 9:30, we'll fly about 10:30. See you on the field!
