I have said similar words such as what I will type here before now. But I know not when My Next flight will be. But Trust Me my next Flight absolutely, no Question will be my Finest Flight that I have made.

Wasn't there a Song By trhe Beatles that went like . . . . . I Get High with a little Help from My Friends. I will Get High With a Little Help From My Friends.

"With A Little Help From My Friends"

Billy Shears

What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)
No I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)
I need somebody to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love

(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Do you need anybody?)
I just need someone to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

" TTHE THIRD FLIGHT WILL BE THE CHARM"


It was the same sort of a deal when I had My second Flight in a Sail Plane, By the way I have only had two flights in a sail plane to date. Well my Instructor Mikael Schneider and I were in the LZ standing next to that Grobe Sail Plane. Mikael was looking a little peaked . So I said to Mikael: " Mikael get your Head-up" "You look sort of Glum, Cheer Up. We had a Good Launch, a nice Tow, I nailed the Landing, a good Flight over all, we had a good flight."

"Just because We did not Fly XC today is not a Failure" "We can fly XC on My third Sail Plane Flight."

I was going to put up a New Post, but for two reasons I choose not to put up a New Post. First off I forgot How to start a new subject.. second I do not want to Clutter up the message board with my posts.

Ok, Here I go. Being that I came so close to failing my Reality Check on March 28th 2010 when I pile drove Myself into the Ground. I've come to the Conclusion that I might indeed Die Someday. So What I have done is; The First thing that I have done is, I called Pilot-X to see if He would be Willing to take part in the Spreading of my Ashes, that is if He is still alive when I am dead? He told Me that He would be willing to help with this Project. The way I want this to Happen is for all my friends to be working a Thermal together, when a Pilot, a Good Pilot yet to be named at this moment. For really I want a Good Pilot to carry my Ashes while He or She Core's through all my friends. That way I will be able to be able to do what I did so many times in the Past. Now I do not feel as though I have to get this all together right now, even though I do not plan on Dying for 30 more year's from now. Please give Me your thoughts on My Finale Soaring Flight.

Well this Post quite possibly might be off topic, I have yet to find out. For My death will not happen for another 30 Years, when I am 90 Years old. You see I am and I have been in an aging {HOLDING PATTERN{}. You see on the one Hand, on Paper I am 60. But because I stopped aging at the the Age of 21, I am still 21.

Well let me get to it; I want to get My Death organized. I want to have it all set-up so that all My friends will take one last flight with Me, or more to the point. They will al be flying in the same Thermal while one Pilot The best Pilot flying that day will be Flying carrying my ashes well said Pilot will proceed to be coring through the other pilots, Topping out at Cloud base then proceed to fly an XC route of 100 Miles or More. I think that this will be pretty cool. What do You all Think? By the way the Pilot who is carrying my ashes will spread my Ashes over the Mountain. before heading out XC. I think this will be a cool way to go out.

MINDLESS BANTER



I decided to post what I am typing right now. I am saying calling calling it in a Mindless Banter Post. Well that is not an justified rightful way to talk about my Mind. You see I did pounded Myself into the ground Eleven Years 4 Months Sixteen Days Ago Days ago.

By Pounding Myself so Hard into the Ground. Hell it was the case that I hit the Ground so hard that I sheered Axons in My Skull. Can You say "Brain Damage".

Coming back from the effects of such a devastating accident has, and I am sure that It will be an Hell of an experience. I remember when I was oh about 10 or 11 Years ago A friend of our Family Bill WXXX's son Brian who was a Straight A Student at UC Davis. Brian was a scratch Golfer, quite a talented young man. Well Brian did Acid one time. He went Schizophrenic. I mean seeing this happen to a Person totally Blew my Brother John, my Sister Kathleen, and my mind. I remember considering the risk, how good can the High be? The result of this was that Neither my Brother John, My Sister Kathleen, nor My self, none of us ever touched that stuff.

I avoided the severely negative effects of LSD only to damage my Brain due to not properly managing my Predator ion an High wind Day of Flying. Go Figure.

Many lives have been destroyed with drugs. It's very very sad.

By the way, it's well known that music is helpful for the brain. I know you're playing your guitar, but you might also consider a keyboard or another instrument. You can get used keyboards for under $20 at thrift stores, and they're a lot of fun. And if you're really lucky, you might even get to try an elderberry flute from Frank.

Whatever you play, music is good brain food!!

Great suggestion Bob, in fact I have thought of pursuing playing the Flute My self.

Check this Out My Friend Mike F played an electronic Keyboard. Mike was Self taught, Mike learned entirely By Ear. I once said to Mike; "Mike you should take some Lessons. Mike said; "No not yet I am not good enough Yet" Mike sounded great!

I was over at My local Music Store Gils Music. I told the fellow who worked there that I thought that I needed to take some Lessons regarding improving my Plying of My Gibson SG. I told this fellow Dan that: "I only need to get as good as Angus Young. Not better than Angus, just as good as Angus Young" It is just like it is with My Flying. I only need to be as good as Kari Kastle, or Larry Tudor, or Tammy Bucar. I after all must remember to have realistic Goals.

One of the cool things about learning to play any instrument today is that there's lots of help on the internet. There are videos and sheet music and tutorials. Have fun!!
