Hey Chris... Glad to hear your having a blast. Keeping up with your comps on the OZ and I saw the picture! Hey, we have topless beaches here too, you just need to know where to go. As for the flying... So when is Johnny going to stop talking to you for a week?! Good luck in the next comp and beyond.

Vrezh, I agree with you! Hey, why the hell does everyone want to try and pry out a scary scenario like that anyway, other than for the curiousities George mentioned. By the way, next time we fly together I'll have some top notch brew waiting for us in the LZ. We can cool off, drink some brew, shoot ...

...not quite so fast Christian. My rebuttal to your post: I would rather not see Joe's roof AND CONTINUE TO SEE our local mountains, condors, hawks AND hang gliders instead of HAVING IT ALL BLOCKED (I see you snuck bushes in there when all I protested to are trees)! Oleanders can grow to 30' tall, a...

And for those of you who will say, 'what about when the sun is in the west'? Well, on those really busy days when cars park on the west side of the driveway, the last couple hours will shade them, but little else. Let's see, block the view to the west, more maintenance, more water and for what? I kn...

Trees on the west side of the driveway?

HELLO! Why trees??? They provide no privacy and WILL NOT give shade except to those cars parked in the street (please remember where the sun is and where the shade will be thrown). The only thing the trees will do is cover up the view of hang gliders going west! Oh, along with more maintenance and w...

Big news from Big Springs, Texas (at least to me, I'm jazzed for the guys there)! The guys had a very difficult task, I understand in the blue (no clouds to show the lift), yesterday, and possibly the longest ever called - 157.1 miles! The guys did a great showing, most notably Ron the Wiener, I exp...

I would never buy that thing. It hasn't been fully tested. No whacks, no leading edge rash. Nothing! So clean you wonder if it's ever been flown. And who wants to ever put the first damage on anything so pristine!

Good luck in Texas Chris!
