[Talkrc] Anybody Fly This Weekend?

[Steve Sterling]

Linda and I loaded up yesterday (Saturday)and headed for the field. Wind was
pretty calm here in Kennewick.

Got to the field about 11am.  Stepped out of the rig to open the gate, and
almost ripped the door off. Wind was cross runway from the north. We decided
to get a couple of flights in anyway. Unloaded the gear, and discovered I
hadn't loaded the wings at home.  Oh well, just the little time out there in
the breeze and my hands were cold and that wind was cutting through the
coat.

This morning, I am ready to try again. Forecast is for light & variable, but
the Hanford telemetry tells the story. Windchill 32.7, gusts to 17......

 Bahhh Humbug
