I know, I know: Here II go again putting Up Yet another Post where I talk about My Desire to Once again to go back up to My Happy Place, up in the Sky. Now that This Six Foot Three Predator Pilot is now weighing a Pound or Two Under Two Hundred Pounds. I imagine that if I do indeed Fly My One Fifty-Eight Predator again. i might find out that I should see if I can: {Scale Down} and see if John might help me to procure a One Forty-Two Predator. I am all into regaining My Health. I have regained a whole bunch of what was Me, before I pounded. But there Are certain aspects of My Physical stats that I do not think I will ever recover. No, I do not think that I will ever weigh Two Hundred and Ninety-Eight Pounds. again.

So: this Six-Foot Three-Inch 158 Predator Pilot regarding My losing weight i now at a Holding point, I stay as far as My Weight goes. I am what I would cam a rite around being a 200 Pound Pilot. Yes, I might weigh 198 pounds then the next Day might weigh 202 the one day. So here I am thinking about how {THE POUND DIET} would work. But Oh Boy! II do not want to spend another three Months laying on My Back in a Coma in Intensive Care again!

Does anyone have some good tips on sharing How to easily loose 15 or 20 pounds?

{Two Hundred, or Less|

I swear, it Feels as it did when I was a Rank Mew Hang One. I am obsessed with Flying. No at the present time while I am not Flying. I believe that I willl have My opportunity to take Flight. See when the Weather starts to get warmer, that will be when John comes up North to do two things. One will be to give My 158 Predator a I--R-A=N. The other will be to take My Predator for a Test Flight. Trust Me, I know that being that I have had an ongoing rather strong Bond with My `158 Predator. It is good to have John as a HG Friend.

I have been thinking about how My Predator could become a Glider that could be Short-Packed. OK, why could it not be that half of each leading edge could not be changed, One Tube of a Leading edge could be used where the Outside Tubes OD was just a little bit smaller than the inboard Tube of a leading edge. Then One Tube could be slipped into the other.? I know that the change of the Leading-edge Diameter would affect how Stiff each leading edge would become this thought I will run by John.

So A Penny For Your thoughts. Good By Chris McKeon: The Phoenix Predator Pilot who is in the: {Q}.

{Flying Thoughts}


OK check this Thought out that I had this Morning, 3- 1 - 2025. I was thinking, is there a "LAW" that says that a HG Pilot cannot Fly when He. or She cannot Fly while they are Drunk? It would make sense that if a Person cannot operate a Automobile while They are driving on a Public Highway. Then can a Pilot Legally operate a Hang-Glider while They are Flying up in the Air. After all, is The Sky not a Public Space. Well, I imagine that if I was very Drunk, visibly Drunk. I had managed to execute a Decent Landing. But was then staggering around the LZ over at Fort Funston. I cvery well might be arrested for Being {DRUNK in public. So, could I not be arrested for Flying while being intoxicated also?

D-W-U-I?

OK I have been looking for anything regarding Drunk Flying, F-W-U-I. I imagine that there is a law regarding Flying say a Powered Airplane or a Sailplane. If there is indeed a law that makes it illegal to be Flying say a Piston Engine powered Plane. Then it makes sense that there must be a law that would make it a crime for Me to be Drunk while Flying My Predator. Heck. the Day I Pounded. March Twenty Eighth Two Thousand Ten. I weighed Two Hundred and Ninety-Eight Pounds. Noone would want Ne crashing into them at say 25, or 40 Mils an

So, here I am again writing about Flying. I know, I know that Me writing about Flying is really Pathetic. I know I should be posting a Video of My Most recent Flight, but no, I only am able to write about Flying, It's Sad but it is T rue.

Do not feel that Bad about reading this Post, after all, you clicked onto to this Post.

I \really do not know at this point just where that I will be Flying when I take My first Flight in Fourteen Years. But I know that the next Time that I fly, will be My Greatest Flight!

So, this is about it. Please Wish Me luck.

Goos By Chris.

Thoughts. Flying thoughts: Well, the first thing that I want to say is that I want to apologize for some of the content subject matter of while My posts contain Flying related adventures as the subject matter. I do not feel as though that they are all that they have been positive in nature. I have always been a very Positive in Nature. for this I apologize to everyone.

Anyways, I am really beginning to think that I will be able to begin to pretty much all that I had. Yes, I can now see the Day when I will once again be a One HUNDRED Percent recovered ABNORMAL Predator Flying Pilot.

So, I just now got off the Pone from talking with John. He told Me that there is an APP from I believe He said Google Maps, where I could use this app to get the elevation of My Mothers Street. I also suggested that We could use his Vario when He comes up here. See, my Vario disappeared after I Pounded into the Ground after My last Flight. See, I was in no shape to pack up My Glider, Some Firemen Broke down My Glider.

ELECTRONICS: So, I will need to get Myself a couple of new electronic Pieces Due to My having impacted the Ground in such a hard manner Fourteen Years Ago. '' The way I think about it is, I a survived. My next Flight might very well-done over at the Beach site Goat Rock, or it may very well be m0ade off a training hill somewhere. But I do know one thing, for Me anyways, I am sure that I will not get High, or Fly very far, but it will be one Flight.:

{GREAT FLIGHT!}

OK this about it, Good By Chris.

{DIET' CLIMBING, AND A MUTUAL AGREEMENT}

Well, it seems that all I have is The Thinking that I do regarding Flying, is that I can think and talk about Flying. Maybe I need to come to the conclusion that I will never Fly My Predator again Ys, maybe I will not eve Fly a HG again. But then again, that is a concept, a reality that I am not ready to accept, Not Today. I just got off the Phone where I was talking about, guess what We talked about? John and I talked about Flying. I talked about How I on the One Hand, I am blown away that since I went on the: {Pound Diet. This Six Foot, Three-Inch-Tall Predator Pilot Weighs One Hundred a Ninety-Eight Pounds! I have not weighed under Two Hundred Pounds since High School. I mentioned that while My 158 would be Stiffer, The Climb rate. That was so good before the Twenty-Eighth of March Two Thousand Ten. I told John that when thinking about having lost One Hundred Pounds. or a Third of My Body weight. How this loss of weight should be a asset regarding How well My Predator would Climb, John agreed.
