If Warren can’t make it Saturday I will move my LCO slot up to 10-12.

8) Dave Way (L2 3/4) Mark Hayes (L3) and myself (L3) will be around all 4 days. We are flying lite, some big stuff, but not a lot of flights. We can (and will) LSO, RSO, or help with the pads as needed. We will be at the ‘Elk Tent’ if needed. Tim Thomas

As of today it has become clear that I will not be able to attend MHM. My apologies to all.

[AdrianParticipant]

Sorry you couldn’t make it, and thanks for letting us know.

Aside from being a bit thin in the wallet, my wife is out of town and I can’t find anyone to housesit and take care of my two geriatric animals even during the day. Such is life, not ready to fly anything anyway. Looking forward to O-fest though.

Could someone who is definitely going to be there, and has a smartphone that they know works at the top of the hill, post an update here Friday and Saturday? Long drive for me, and the weather sites don’t really tell the full story on wind. If weather site says 8-12mph winds, its all the difference in the world to hear someone say “its great, come on up” versus “we are spending all our time controlling tents, ez-ups and flight cards”.

Thanks in advance!

Y’all who live up north — PLEASE tell me that the 8 hours of drizzle & rain we’ve gotten down in the Denver area (0.35″ so far in Parker) has also fallen on the grasslands…..

Please?

A good soaking would sure help the fire danger this weekend……

[edwardModerator]

We got .31″ here in Fort Collins. Looking at a couple sites the North Site got about .03″.

🙁

We are set UP and ready to go.

Still dry but a tiny bit better than the last launch. very tiny.

The grass is real short.

Blast deflectors at most of the pads.

Plus double the covering below the pads.

Please bring extra water. There will be 400 gals. on site but
more the better. Some talk about filling the litter containers
and setting them around the area, also.

Everything is aok.

See ya at the launch.

What about 5 gallon buckets with lids full of water placed near the pads? Rip the lid off and pour! Or take the lids off when you get them out to the pads?
