Rhonda and flying at Pine Friday

Hey all,
Rhonda's been laying around eating bon-bons in my garage for a month now, and it's time to put her back to work. Brendon and I are on board for reinstalling Rhonda (I expect 1/2 hr. max) and flying if conditions are good Friday.

If you're interested in flying, stay tuned, watch the weather, spin the prayer wheel, and chant "Southside" 100 times. If enough of us join in, the weather gods will smile and years from now pilots will say "remember the time we installed Rhonda and ..."

If you've never flown Pine, but would like to, I found driving was a good way to watch, listen, and learn about the site. You see all the LZ's on the way from Ojai, the launches, the conditions, etc., in air-conditioned comfort and never wishing you were on the ground. Of course after the first time you'll want to fly, but then you'll be ready having seen it all once.

So, charge your batteries, check the weather, and watch this space!
Robb

Best guess from today's weather is that it looks good for Pine tomorrow. Of course we will have much better information in the morning.

We were thinking a little bit of an earlier meet time due to the need to stop for Rhonda. Maybe 9:00 or 9:30. Further details to follow.

If it turns out to be unfavorable for Pine tomorrow, we always have Chief's as a backup plan. Chief's "always" works.
