That makes better sense, yes apparently we will be graced with the presence of Mr & Mrs T. Ball around thursday, I think they are going to a concert, then hot footing it across to the main event.

You actually publicly state that MommaD could be wrong?, it maybe late, but that takes a larger than normal set of nads!!

Practice starts Saturday (Right Billy? just not too early, gonna have a late Friday night). I'll try and post some pics, but if it's like any other trip, I'll be too busy to actually take any.
Jason,

Good luck, I snaped a picture of you working on your freestyle which I have so kindly included.

Amdrew: put the SNOW Tires on so you can get out of MI. Good Luck and both of you have a good time.

Al

John,

It was great helping you last year. I hope the plane flew better after all that work.

A little update from Shulman,

He arrived in Tucson about 12:30 this afternoon went out to a flying field and hung with Krause and Matty. He said after this he went out to Sierra Vista to pick up his 260 that Chip hauled back from the Masters. He sounded really tired said it had been almost 40 hours since he slept. He told me when he wakes up from his long nap he will go to DA get some pics of Raymond and Wilson's crate then some flying pics.

Andrew

I'm leaving Cincinnati on Saturday - hope to be flying by Sunday afternoon for a couple days of hardcore practice in the desert. This is my first trip out, and I can't wait to see everyone.
