Glad to hear you guys are able to fly. It's been warm here in Texas, but slightly breezy. 25 - 35 MPH seven out of the nine days so far this month!! And no slope anywhere in 100 miles, bummer. We have our third monthly contest today and the forecast is for it to build to 20 - 30 MPH with gusts to 35 again. And Chicago is the windy city? ;^)
