Got in at about midnite from Mexico, so kind of lazed around all day Friday, and had a bunch of honey do's to take care of this morning, a trip to the post office to drop some repaired servos in the mail..and headed home with the idea of taking a nap. But Karma (='s wife) had other ideas. That meant a few more things to take care of around the house . It has been an awful long time since I had a plane up on a winch (a week or two) and it was driving me nuts....plus the fact that Sunday I was catching a plane to Mauritius and Dubai for about 10 days...without my planes! :-( Here's how that happened....I came home she who must be obeyed managed to trick me into telling her about this trip...of course from the moment I put the plan together I had been agonizing ...Sportube? Wife? Sportube? Wife?.... well you guessed it, this is the first time in a long time my sailplanes weren't coming along :-(. I raced through the list and stepped out side to get closer to my planes in the garage when I noticed how nice it was. Cold but not chilly, no wind at all...and sunny. I quickly loaded winch, Baglady TrannyBag and World's Heaviest Carbon Supra Lite in to the car and zipped quietly out of the driveway to the field. And it was worth it. My Talking Timer tuned into channel 10mins and proceeded to have some really sweet flights. The air was buoyant with the occasional nice spot of lift to circle in. Twice Geese came by, stopping to make a few turns with my bird. Really great stuff. A good day for sure! Gordy Louisville till morning
