I didn't go the Bremer yesterday because ceiling looks too low and started blowing west at Mossyrock around noon , Blanchard looks really good today but I decided to fly Dog again instead. Few of us will be meeting at Dog patch today around 3PM.

Dog was cloudy, cold, windy and gusty yesterday (Saturday 6/22/19). Lifts was more consistent and smoother than Friday. We can fly to Elk, Radio Towers , Back Bowl, The Cliff (Larry and Justin made it) .....between 5 through sunset. Reached up to 4,200ft (2K above launch) around 6:30pm. I launched at 5 and flew till 7 with Larry and Tina. Other pilots who attend included : Justin, Tim B, Tim D , Alan R, Chi T, Kt B, Brian. Kind of quiet for another good day at Dog.

 Today is the first day of summer (06/21/19 Friday) but it feel like a early spring weather. It was cold at Dog mountain (approx 50F°/10C°). Stas, Alfredo Moreno and I launched in light north conditions around 5pm and we hooked up a good thermals that took us up to almost 5,000 ft MSL. I flew from 5:15 to 7:30 pm. Kim, Tim D and Alan had a great flight earlier too.
