TEST FIVE--LAND/WATER QUAD
Two Flyers, Two Retired Birds and an Honor
Good Morning...
Day Four dawns slightly warmer with earlier temperatures hovering around 50. The forecast is for temperatures in the high seventies with a 20% chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Winds will pick up throughout the day but will be worst after 8 p.m.; by then the test will have wrapped for the day as tonight is the Worker's Party.
Good luck to everyone!
