Are you calling Erika Klein a pig Bob? It certainly appears that is what you meant by how you phrased your post ... Anyone with reasonable intellect and reading comprehension skills would already know that's neither what my message says nor is intended to convey. It makes me wonder what sort of def...

It's lipstick on a pig, Jonathan. Are you calling Erika Klein a pig Bob? It certainly appears that is what you meant by how you phrased your post and after all you're a man who says what he means right? What do you predict she will do Jonathan? Her best, Bob. I predict that Erika will do her best i...

Re: Moyes exempt from aluminum tariffs
....Willswing could see a 10% cost increase if it imports aluminum from Europe. Isn't Moyes' aluminum sourced from the same source in Europe? Don't they have to declare this when exporting to the U.S.? What's BobK doing about this Trumpesty? I know he's got all of our backs. http://www.ushawks.org/...

Re: Owens flying
...(someone tell me how to make the images right) AFAIK Dropbox doesn't allow image hosting. It's a file sharing service that allows a link to the image but not an embed. All you can post is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nqgrmkd4s8ybdxp/Alabama launch.jpg and https://www.dropbox.com/s/st2ua708byis9f3/...

A Beautiful 8-Mile Glide Out!
Did a little cloud surfing yesterday from Marshall Peak then let myself get a little too low to stay in the thin lift band just below cloud base. This resulted in a an 8-mile glide out and arrival at my bailout with maybe 100' of altitude to spare. Enjoy! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myua...

Don't Get Taco'd Anywhere
Greg, I was hoping the topic of this thread was to inform everyone that Towers Launch has re-opened. But alas... Markus' accident at Contract Point happened at 2PM PDT, May 9, 2015. There is no time of year when any portion of the spine from Locals up to Contract Point is ever safe, mid-day. Somewhe...

Re: All it takes for evil to thrive ...
....Or maybe you can comfort yourself (as Jonathan Dietch has done) by somehow convincing yourself that my expulsion was "justified".... When and where did I say your expulsion was justified? I could have sworn I said it it was LONG OVERDUE. At least that how I feel about it. ....It's bee...
