Well, the weather gods seemed to have given us a small break, in that the rain chances have slacked off quite a lot in the last few days.
There's a spike to 50% chance of rain that ends at about 9 AM. That's why I wanted to hold off arrival until 10. Hopefully that'll give that little bit of rain a chance to pass. It also doesn't look like much accumulation so let's give Saturday a go.
Sunday looks very windy, 15 mph or more for most of the afternoon, and without Ken here we'll ONLY fly Saturday.
SETUP will be at 10 in the morning, or once the rain has passed.
PLEASE, before you drive out, CHECK the site Saturday morning. If we get more than Kip is comfortable with we will scrub.
Remember, if you want to flog some extra rocket stuff bring it along and we'll have a boot sale, since Ken won't be with us.
Remember if the field's wet wear appropriate shoes and drive down the SDIES of the runway.
 
Fingers crossed!!
TB/dr
