My current plan, since it's so nice out, is to ride my bike down (2001 HD Road Glide). I ought to be on the DZ early tomorrow morning.

I will find myself with 4 data capturing devices that will run out of data storage space during the course of the 3 days of Z-Flock. (I just couldn’t justify lugging my ancient laptop along with all the rigs and things I have packed) I know it’s a silly obsession with data, but I know it is shared by some others too. So if you have an interest in data from the Z Flock, I will gladly share all the data I capture with you in exchange for the opportunity to download it. These are my toys: 2 Protracks. I have the download cradle and software. Hardware required: serial COM port. 1 Neptune. . Hardware required: IRDA port. Software Required: Paralog 1 Suunto X6. I have the download cable and software.
