Roseburg, Eugene and Seattle all look good the rest of the week.

Any suggestions on when to meet for dinner?  Some of us still work - helloooooo - gotta plan it pretty tight!

Bruce, am probably going to arrive direct from CA to Friday Harbor and you'll have to hitch a ride with someone from Arlington, sorry.  If it's before 6 I'll miss altogether and just go direct Arlington.

PS: crystal clear all the way at 1 PM today.

If meeting for dinner entails where to go at Friday Harbor, I recommend Downriggers (http://www.downriggerssanjuan.com/) on the waterfront, adjacent to the ferry landing.  10 minute walk from KFHR.  Can't make it myself - Medical held up by FAA backlog...

Well, Arlington is over.  We had about 12 or 14 canards.  I did not count.

Thanks to Joe Person, Dale Martin, and others for the meal.

The weather was GREAT.  Best year I have seen for 12 years.

Attendance was down last year and down more this year.

The military guys did a very good job with "Camp Davis" but not many airplanes.   The P-51 put on a great show.

The auto club a had VERY good display of cars.
