have you guys been playing with this new wind tool? http://www.ikitesurf.com/windandwhere.iws?regionID=216&Isection=Gradient+Animation
i like it much more than windbow. hopefully the pressure forecasts are accurate. windbow is weird because it's not clear they take the distances into account--it's pressure difference between two spots, not really the gradient. this one gives you the real gradient across every 8 miles. it also looks better and is more intuitive.
the weekend forecast looks like it's in much better shape now. thoughts?

Hey jsj,
Yeah, thermo was 28 years ago... Obviously I need a refresher. Anyway that's why I edited the post. I think I have it right now at 86 gallons. What do you come up with? It seems about right just thinking about the volume.
Should have checked my math after first looking at it, but the opportunity to ride came up. Gotta have priorities!  Still should have checked before posting. 
Electric pumps are for those who'd rather ride than spend time pumping. especially when time is limited! I'm pretty sure I've done enough in life to be assured of my non-girlieness without having to use a hand pump.

I have a Rack with Bars that were on a Honda Accord. The Q towers will fit most cars that do not have factory racks that may get in the way, you just have to get the right clips which are reletively inexpensive. Rack is in good shape with locks.
Asking $90
PM me or post reply if interested

Just for grins I pumped up a couple of kites with an air tank this morning so I could determine bladder volume. The results surprised the shit out of me!
'04 19m Fuel 86 gallons!!!
Now I know why I like using an electric pump with big kites!
The math: 26 gallon air tank. Starting psi: 150 psi, End psi: 90
19m Fuel Starting psi: 0 End psi 3
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2

Edited because I messed up the math. I think I have it right now. Anyone want to check this?
