I'd like to go tomorrow, but it doesn't look like a great day for a beginning PG pilot. Please let me know what you have in mind. Maybe I'll drive if nothing else.
I'm tied up Sunday morning, but available in the afternoon/evening.

Forecast winds
Today looks like it will probably be blown out for paraglilders. Tomorrow could be a better day - possibly Mustang. It's worth checking in the morning.
I flew the A today, 1pm to 2pm. It is still perfect for soaring there, 14 gusting to 20 at TIA.
Jason showed up and helped me launch along with Chad.
I was able to cross to Tumamoch.
It looked real good after flying as well still blowing in, 15 os so.
The gust were too strong for PG, any HG could fly even a Falcon.
Any way thought you might want to know.

Sunday Update
The morning update is not quite as strong as predicted last night but still too strong for a trip to Mustang. The A might happen again today if you caught just the right window between too light and blown out for the bag wings. As Eric implied, the A is a better HG than PG site because usually when it's soarable it's blown out for the paragliders.
