May the 4th be with you
The leadup to the weekend was a great one for destroying productivity. Over a week out the prognosticators are calling for good looking conditions. Soon, good was upgraded to great. Then it even looked like it would align with a weekend day. By mid-week the NAM , the RASP , XCSkies, Matt, Darren, Walt (WX) were pumping Saturday as the day. The consistency of the blipmaps as Saturday approached continued to build confidence. What would the task be? Straight-out? Across the valley to the Sierras? Around the Horn? Friday morning Julie learned that her Saturday had just been freed up. Thankfully my offers to the back seat of the Duo had been declined by those I'd reached out to and she was able to claim her right. Saturday morning we arrived at the airport a little later than intended. Damn battery stop to replace the batteries in my Spot that I had left on the week before. I think almost every private ship at Avenal was rigged or being rigged. GD, Russias 1 & 2, 5H
