Arrived in Muncie on this beautiful Thursday afternoon around 2 PM.  
Windy, but with beautiful blue skies and a perfect fall temperature.  
About 30-40 pilots (maybe more!) already here.  Bungees were the 
preferred choice of transport today, with some just handlaunching to get 
the hang of this whole skeg-less thing.     I noticed a lot of Supras 
out today, along with good number of Sharons and Icons - and a few 
Espadas were spied as well. 

Weather is going to be positively heinous (but par for the Muncie 
course) next couple of days - winds 15-25 with a 60-70% chance of rain 
Friday and Saturday, lessening on Sunday.  Excellent contest weather, 
though!  Wet grass with an 80-point tape and 12-minute tasks will no 
doubt make this a "soaring" contest and not a landing one :)

Bright and early start tomorrow @ 0830!
