Same with me but I have been advised to the concept of: Time blindness is a reduced ability to perceive the passage of time, estimate task duration, or adhere to schedules, often causing chronic lateness and poor time management. Heavily associated with ADHD and executive dysfunction, it makes it hard to plan, "feel" time passing, or transition between tasks

So an extra hour per day to accomplish goals could help, Plus Shga lets members perform minor car repairs and many British men buy high maintenance Land Rovers so they can leave the house and get the car fixed, the wife accuses them for stopping off at the Pub.

You Guy's have no idea how much thought that I give the notion of My first Flight in 16 Years. Here is something that has been a Long Time coming, Such a LONG TIME COMING. Well next Monday I will be talking with a Doctor so as to hopefully convince Him to "SIGN ON) regarding being willing to sign the Piece of paper that the DMV requires to be signed by a Doctor in order that I will be able to take the behind the wheel part of the testing that I must complete in order for Me to have My Driver's License reinstated. See, I already have taken and passed the written portion of the Test that the DMV requires You to take. I passed the written portion of the Driver's Test with a score of 100 Percent.

Being that I have not Flown in 16 Years. I wonder what it will be like when I Fly My Predator Cross Country? Will "I" be the Pilot who the driver will pick up on their way to pick up some Pilot and their Topless Glider? I wonder if developments in HG design will render the Predator a: (Used to Be a Great Glider)? Had the Time finally come when I will be wanting some new design? I Doubt it!

Check this out; I have had three Flights controlling an Sail Plane, you know; . Axis Control stick and rudder stick and rudder. On both of the Flights I experienced a touch of PIO regarding the Roll control, the Stick. But everything else went well. So I have a question; Will, should this PIO go away as I accumulate more Airtime?

Ok I just woke up it is just past 3:00 AM. I am just laying here in My Bed. I am thinking, contemplating Flying. Sée, U do that s lot. Yes I think about Flying My Predator almost constantly. I mean and why not? For the Predator is such a great wing. It is easy to launch, easy to Fly. Oh Yes and this is a big one in My Book.bit is simply a Great landing Glider. But all Glider's must land. This is why I see the Idea the Concept of being able to Short Pack My Predator and be able to backpack My Predator to the nearest Road such a great potential asset. I must talk to John about the possibility of being able to Shortpack My Predator. Heck John Designed the Predator. I can see Myself having landed out due to My typical incompetent Flying, My having landed a few miles short of the nearest Road. I can just see in My Minds Eye, I can see Myself breaking down My Predator. short Packing My Predator turning the Predator into a Back Pack. Then Hiking it to the nearest Road. Ok any thoughts on being able to do this? Or does thé limitations of Carbon preclude My from doing this (Hort Packing)?

I just got off the phone from talking to Bob. We talked about what else? We talked about Flying. Bob told Me that He would not Fly today. What are the Odds? Funny thing thing both Bob and Myself will not be Flying today. We also talked about if I can finally get My tail down South this Day for the Otto Meet, I might finally after 16 Years have the chance to to Fly. Get this; Knowing beforehand that I will Whack His Condor if I were to Fly it, Bob will let Me Fly it. Would, will any of You Who will be at the Otto Meet offer Your Glider for Me to Fly? I think not. But Bob reminds Me of My Pilot Friend Ken Muscio. Both of them are, were the same. Note that I say were, because KM is no longer Alive.Yes, Both KM and Bob are, were the same.while They both Suck-Sucked as Pilots They both are-Were Very good People.
KM; what I said about KM being a Bad Pilot-Good Person was true. In fact KM was such a Great Human Being, His being such a Bad Pilot. This reality of Ken's. This was really quite note able. It was really something because as a KEN'S contrast was so obvious. I mean how was it as a Pilot Ken sucked! But as a Person KM truly shined. I miss KM oh about once an hour I think about KM. I have a question for those of You who might be able to answer My question I know about talking bad about the Dead. But what if anything does the Bible say about Smack Talk?

Being that I have been binder going a radically lengthy forced grounding due to My incompetent Flying of My Predator 16 Year's ago, I am positively going nuts with a case of (GOTTA FLY IT IS). I mean here I am walking and talking. By the way neither Walking nor Talking were not in the Kaiser Doctor's Prognosis regarding how that I would be able to recover. Get this; There was never a comment made by one of those Kaiser Doctor's having even a opinion regarding weather or not that I would ever Fly My 158 Predator again. My having Pounded My 158 Predator (By the way, the "158" Predator is hands down the finest glider ever designed. But these Doctors simply failed to address the root cause that got Me into Kaiser Hospital. I have Flights that even though a couple of them I have been close to surpassing. Such as the longest Flight for a Predator is 198. I hope to Fly My 158 Predator 200 Miles in 4 Hour's or less. I want to, that is if I could do it legally. I want to Fky up to 25,000 feet or Higher!

CONTEMPLATING, Yea I will admit it. I find Myself thinking about Flying almost as a Constant. A Flight that I would love to do, would be to launch from Mount Diablo, get up and Fly X-C to Vallejo. Land in the Parking lot of the Kaiser Hospital secure My Predator. Then I would walk into the Hospital and ask to see at least one of the Doctors Who worked on Me. Say Hello, shake His hand and I produce Myself to Him. Now that would be a great Flight!
