Sunday, Box ,Glass Off
Any one planning on flying Box later this afternnon - possible glass off?
As of 11:30 am forecast, winds are out of the West @11mph @6pm, then West @ 8mph at 7pm. Could be good! This also gives you time to spend with Mom in the afternnon, and the boogey. Gunter 520-906-0182 (c)
