Re: Lost Kingpost Cover on Kagel

Thanks Vrezh. I sent him a text. Thanks again for saving my leading edges from the dust devil that kicked up as the wind switched. Fun day!

Really fun to watch and listen in stereo!
Wayne gave me this video not long before he passed. I finally got it to post to YouTube with good resolution.
The audio quality is amazing thanks to Wayne's work as a sound pro in the film industry.

Gliding Into A Smoke Filtered Sunset - 2020-08-20

https://youtu.be/_sI2teqbtR0 Massive fires all over the state obscure the skies in San Bernardino creating a beautiful light as I coast along late in the day.
