Gordy’s babbling again; the poor
lost soul must be stuck in some godforsaken flea-bag motel room munching on stale
pizza and washing it down with warm beer. The life of a traveling salesman ain’t
all glamour, hey Gordy. J

...was just that.
The thread ran its course to its logical
enddisclaimers by posters that they aren't evil, hadn't said anything
negative and for the most part are enthusiastic promoter/supporters of all
things good and fun.
As expected the originator of the thread
did not (once a bevy of enlightened ideas were supplied) head to kinko's to
make thousands of copies of the 'non contest LSF achievement' sheets in
pink...or any there color but specifically not carbon or glass, just wood
products if you please. :-)
The silent hordes of rc pilots who we
waiting to start their first tasks to fame, still lay in the shadows and sink,
poised and ready for the forms to arrive.
I've decided to look at the bright side
of it allif indeed they are out there waiting to get started, let them
wait, because if they were to rush the fields of rc soaring America, the
'regular' LSF taskers would have no problem seeing all the lift and sink on
fields, having only to look around thru the clouds
of non-contest sailplanes floating around their fields.
The next thread would be about the
tremendous increase in mid-airs due to the congestion, the accelerated wear and
tear on winches and lines, and whining about club budgets being stressed and
the long wait times for turns on the winch line.
I'd have signed up just to be the first
to reach L-4 duality :-)
Oh well, life ain' t Perfect, but there
is one plane out there now that's pretty close :-)
Hope you all remembered to send
Deleware's top contest pilot a sympathy card for his well traveled...on
...Mantis fuse. ;-)

South Amboy, NJ tomorrow, still seeking
contests for the weekend!
