<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I've noticed trends in weather and first took note of it
when I was a CD ten or fifteen years ago. Crazy as it sounds, if it rains the
second weekend in June this year, odds are, it'll rain the same weekend next
year and the year after. Went thru that for 4 years at my contest and finally
convinced my Co-CD that we should change the date by 1 week. We did and the
weather was great. Oh yeah, it rained the weekend we normally had it that year
too. We had lousy weather last year at the Shootout and called it on Sunday as I
recall. Maybe we should think about having it a week later.</FONT></DIV>

Congratulations D5,proud holders of the Ryder trophy for 2006</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV> Do you realize that this makes 3 straight days that we've had total
washouts at the shootout? This is because we didn't fly last year on
Sunday.</DIV>
<DIV> I think that we call contests way too early. It's a shame that we
didn't at least attempt to wait till the afternoon and get in 2 flights. I've
been told that someone actually stayed and flew in the afternoon. We had
people that drove some long distances that dissevered a better attempt.</DIV>
<DIV> I don't get why so many are in such a rush to go home. When
did it become a rule that we have to be done very early on Sundays also. I
remember Rough River in 1987 waiting out the rains on a Sunday and having the
award ceromony in the dusk. Bottom line is we got in a contest. This go home
early stuff is bad.</DIV>
<DIV> What's to say that we couldn't have flown 2 rounds today?</DIV>
<DIV> Is it getting to the point where if the weather forcasts show the
slightest possability of rain that we should just stay home?</DIV>
<DIV> I love coming to contests and seeing all my friends but to be
honest its the flying that I'm there for. </DIV>

the D4-D5 shootout was a washout. Rained all day<BR>today in Muncie with a
high probability of the same<BR>tomorrow. In a joint decision between D4 and
D5, it<BR>was decided to award the Ryder trophy to D5 due to<BR>their
tremendeous effort in recruiting pilots to<BR>represent their district this
year. They outnumbered<BR>us handily, and would have probably prevailed had
we<BR>had the opportunity to fly. Congratulations and good<BR>work!<BR><BR>I
might add that dinner last night on the patio at the<BR>Texas Roadhouse was
another one to remember, great<BR>friends and great food. <BR><BR>The
gauntlet has been thrown, it is on D4 to get the<BR>pilots to Muncie next
summer to win back the trophy.<BR><BR>Bob
