Doug, my weather source comes from cyberspace. I have no idea where or who. It just arrives like magic on my screen and I believe it. Sorry I can't be more specific. But it seems quite good information. I've even learned what "wx" and "ebonics" mean! Wx, for those like me who didn't know, means weather.

The latest is:

The next attempt will be Sunday. They have a small problem to correct and then try again.

The winds came down to 102 and they needed 100MPH or less. Oh well that's the business. They were debating on a Sat or Sun launch.

PS: I guess it is all waiting until I'm there! Hahaha!

Here is the Purdue U Aviation Upper Level Winds page. You will find what you need there.
wxp.atms.purdue.edu

For the non-aviators; the solid pennants on the poles represent 50 knots, the long lines equal 10 knots and the short lines are 5 knots. So a combination of:
pennant
long
long
long
short
is 85 knot wind comming from the tip of the pole to the base as the direction.

doug, now that Walt Bishop has given you what undoubtedly passes as the most obscure URL for upper level wind whatever (is the internet a wild thing or what?), what I want to know, given the lovely price action in the Q today, is do you have a boat left to go sailing in? :) Mike Doyle
