I have a pair of Sporty's Foggles available for free, just pay shipping. They have a few scratches in them but otherwise in good condition. Includes the Sporty's microfiber pouch. PM me if interested.
Usually, gorgeous. The banning pass gets interesting with Santa Ana winds. If it's IFR, better mins going into UDD or TRM. The mins going into PSP are rather high.
I would just refile. I have no idea if and how that screws up Fltplan.com's interface with the CDM+ program but it seems to work. Otherwise, negotiate a new final altitude with clearance if you have spare time on the ground or center once airborne.
