I think all the ponds in the area are pretty much full now. We've had a butt load of rain between Debbie and Isaac. Think I'm going to go flying for a while in the morning. Light winds from the east make it ideal for planes at SRQ.

Mind if I tag along?

Come on along. We'll probably be leaving here around 7ish in the morning. My flying buddy Brian is going too but he drives his own truck down.

I flew some last night here at home. Tomorrow will be testing for the DH Vampire edf I built a week or so ago.

Thanks.

The quad-copter is pretty dang cool. You're gonna be freakin' out the neighbors with that gizmo!

[HRC]

That quad is very cool Bill . Got any UFO reports yet

[bill34207]

No UFO calls so far with it. Most of my neighbors have seen it in the daytime too.
If I ever get good enough with it, I plan to put the GoPro on it and try to get some aerial boating vids.

Still a little early to know what the weather this weekend will be. Heard on the news this morning that Isaac was heading back south again and may be re-christened as another tropical storm after it gets in the gulf.
I would like to run some boats if it's weather fit though.

[ron1950]

which way is the storm going anyway? saw that it was passing pensacola....u guys can have this one....we had enough flooding around here.....some still without power

[osprey21]

The leftovers of Isaac (90L) has been drifting southward during the past few hours.

40% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next 2 days.



Downgraded to 30% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next 2 days.

no matter which way it goes it still sucks

[bill34207]

Sunday is finally showing on the aviation site and looks like it not only sucks, it blows as well.

perhaps we can start running heavy slower gas boats on ackerman again until they say something

[RayR]

Heavy Gas boats? I have one of those! Just don't have a motor in it!

[tiqueman]

then its not heavy enough. perhaps we should get into sailing?

What's that old saying? On yeah, "Like watching paint dry!"

[tiqueman]

Or grass grow. Something about molasses.

rain chances up to 70 percent Sunday looks like I might just plan on working yet another weekend
