Yep! They lied to us again! {:>). It
looks like I can make it to Charlies tomorrow which I intend to do. But
unless the weather (or me) moves much faster than predicted, looks
like the front will be between MS71 and 0TX1 by the time I arrive. So will
likely end up spending night at Charlies and fly in Sat morning. I think
Charlie may plan on driving, but I need my bird to fly to San Antonio afterward,
so can't drive.
In any case, hope to see you there, but naturally
fly safe - can always make another flyin.

Me too Ed. Unfortunately, I made my flight date decision late last
night. The weather guessers were predicting 50 kt headwinds for me today
and weather OKay for Friday with lower winds, so......
Guess you have checked it yourself by now but the forecast for
Texas on Friday has rapidly gone downhill. Hope they are
wrong.

Have
a safe trip, Buly. I plan on heading out in the morning myself,
weather permitting.
