There are probably enough medically trained people on this site to deliver both in the field if needed. No need to cancel your trip.

Congrats to both!

Now that it's out, congrats Zane. You too Rob! My anniversary is on the 23rd, but instead of bailing I'm hoping to set a good example to the rest of you guys that keep bailing for family events and be there anyway! :) Details on the negotiation to follow!

A Jedi mind trick would come in handy! Luckily Dee is pretty flexible and understanding.

According to Wunderground.com the record high temperature for Yerington for 22-25 October is 78, record low is 30, the average high is in the mid 60s. Late October should be pretty nice out there!

Re: 6th Annual High Sierra Fly-in 2015 Oct 22-25

I 100% PLAN on going. Of course, something could always happen that precludes me from being there. I'll try my very best not to have that happen. But just in case, you should have a plan B to fall back on. Let's hope it doesn't come to that though!

Re: 6th Annual High Sierra Fly-in 2015 Oct 22-25

Given youll be 3 weeks from father hood let me assure you i have a plan B :wink: that wil be my original plan of just grab a car and drive up so I wont be stuck either way.

Ill start looking at how to get to you from lax and probably shot you an email in a week or so and get your thoughts

Thanks again mate
