We had a nice Second Sunday with a number of Torrey Hawks members and friends showing up to fly.

And to top it off, there was a super guitar player named Mark Goffeney (http://www.bigtoerocks.com) who started off with a version of "Fire and Rain" that everyone enjoyed:

But Gabe Jebb couldn't stand to watch us enjoying the day. At one point he physically grabbed our cooler and tried to force us to move. We stood our ground and I quoted from the lease that the public shall not be wholly or permanently excluded from any portion of the premises:

Jebb backed down, but I should have guessed there would be more. Toward the end of the day I visited the RC mound and left our club cooler unattended. When I returned I found it covered with a pale yellow liquid:

I called and made a police report about the vandalism which rendered the contents of the cooler unsafe for anyone to eat or drink. I also took a sample for DNA identification before washing it down. I look forward to a time when the Torrey Pines Gliderport finally gets proper oversight.

The yellow fluid is more than likely Gator Aid or some kind of soda.
However DNA tests could rule that out.
Someone Gabe Jebb's age might not recall the Tylenol tampering incident of 1986 that resulted
in severe penalties for tampering with food and it was made a federal crime.
http://www.fda.gov/RegulatoryInformation/Legislation/ucm148785.htm
Federal Anti-Tampering Act
U.S.C. TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 65 - MALICIOUS MISCHIEF

§ 1365. Tampering with consumer products
(4) in any other case, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

(b) Whoever, with intent to cause serious injury to the business of any person, taints any consumer product or renders materially false or misleading the labeling of, or container for, a consumer product, if such consumer product affects interstate or foreign commerce, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Would you want to have a drug test of the sample done at the same time?

Yet another confrontation with Gabrielle Jebb :twisted:
I was chatting with the general crowd, when I noticed Gabrielle Jebb giving me stare down, grumbling words of hate directed at me....
So I asked him , "got anything to say to me"

He Flipped me off and continued to circle around me and the crowd,
He then stopped in front of me and said a few hateful word trying to start a fight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I then told him, "I will be filling a restraint order against You as You continue provoking me"
He then backed off, He knows I was serious
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I said the same thing to Robin Marian few months back during a Employee Crystal Meth issue.... "The Gliderport Mexican stand Off"

I am now seriously considering filing a double restraint order against both parties.... Letting the court work this out....

After the confrontation ....
while no one was watching came the "pissing on Bob's cooler thing"

>>> Any advice or comments would be welcome <<<

I hadn't seen Mel in a few years and I almost didn't recognize him.

It was a very nice surprise to see them on our Second Sunday.      :thumbup:
