I hafe never been to Ocean Beach nor Pacifica. No, neither of these two sites are "The Dumps". As to having an instructor with Me when I Fly, No I will not have a instructor with Me. Bob, I think that You have appraised My Position and stature as a Pilot in a fairly negative and unfounded concept, that I am a Rookie, and a Hack as a pilot. Boh I must say to You that regarding My ability to Fly I Fly Fairly Well. NO I will not have an instructor there with Me, nor will I have My Mother there with Me. For I am entirely capable of Flying a Beach Site all By Myself. Come on Bob, why is it You think so lowly of My Flying abilities? You have never even seen Me Fly, what Gives? You seem to have an agenda against Me, why is that?

Well ... it has been a few years since you've flown. You've also been through a lot of changes - both physical and mental - since you've flown.

Besides, you may need an instructor with a radio to remind you ... to land.

Well it is like when I heard this lady on TV, she said to the Gal who she was Talking to. She asked; "So, Do You have a Ring and a Date?"

Well I do not have a Ring and a Date. I do have a Wing and a Date, Sunday.

yes oh Yes, check this out. I have an 330 Wills-Wing Condor to Fly. This Sunday Pilot-X, Dave Clement and I will be heading over to Ocean Beach for what will be My greatest flight since when I had My First Flight at Rim aria Beach down in New Zealand.

I need to get Batteries for My Radio. I also need to get My Oxygen bottle Filled.

Boy oh Boy, My Life is about to make a definite change. A drastic Change for Sure. For I will Fly, Yea Baby!

Well here I am, I am just about ready to go to sleep. But I thought that I would post a few thoughts.

You know that i will be Flying on Sunday. Sunday I will be going over to Ocean Beach with two of My Friends so that I will be able to Fly a 330 Wills Wing Condor. 330 Squarer feet! My first Glider was also a Wills Wing Glider. My First Glider was a 225 Falcon =1. I thought that My Falcon was Big. regarding Gliders, you Say Big by saying Condor!

The mere fact that I will leave the sand when I waltz that great Big Bird off into the Air, will be just awesome! JOHN TOLD me that HE WALKED a condor into the AIR.

TOURING ALL YOUR MOUNTAIN SITES VIA MY PREDATOR

You know when I get My life back up to speed. When I am once again Flying My Awesome 158 Predator. I should travel down South and after I have loaded the GPS numbers for each Flying Site. I think that it would be great Fun to launch from one of Your Mountain sites, who Knows? Maybe I will launch from say Little Black Mountain. Then I fly over to I do not know at this time. But I will head over to say Palomar, and then to ? I di not know which site that I will head to next. But I think You Guys get the Idea of what I want to do. Basically I could tour each of Your Launches by traveling via My Predator. Land up each Flying sites Launcg=h, Then I will re-Launch and head off to the next launch.

OK I have a couple of Questions for You Guys. Has anyone else either contemplated doing this? Or has anyone done a Day of Flying these sites like I have Just described

OK I really need to acquire the ability to find each site down there from The Air. Also if I were to do this ; Tour of all Your sites. I need to be able to launch from one site, I will just for the sake of My being able to convey to You Guys what I am thinking of. Is that I will just say here that say My First site that I launch from say is Little Black mountain. I will launch, fly and soar . I will Hopefully gain enough Altitude so that I can venture off in the Direction of the next site that I want to land at, then Re-Launch from site number Two. I will do this cycle until I have launched from every site.

What I am asking here is; Are there GPS Units that could be My electronic road-Map in the Sky?

I think that a Day such as I have laid out would be a Gas. Granted regarding distance, a Day of Launching from one site. Flying to another launch, land, launching Flying to your next site, land. Then simply re-peat. I think that this would be so much fun.

Well, I just finished a Game of Chess playing a Computer Program. I have found that when I slow down and think through all the Possible moves that Can be made By Me both the Moves that are available to be made By Me. Also I think about how My Move will prompt a counter move from the Computer. I strategize how to put the computer into a situation where the computer finds itself in a: "coffin corner" Naturally the Program raise's it's Game capability after each game. So I guess soomer or later I will fail to win.

I realize that it is the case with You Guys it is like My Physical therapist over at Kaiser in Vallejo said to Me once regarding when I would be One Hundred percent recovered. Chris Kowalski said to Me; "Only You will be able to say when You are one Hundred Percent Recovered. Others will not be able to tell, How Could They?" Well I do Not feel exactly like I did before when I pounded, but why I while |I am not 100 Percent recovered, I am in the High Nineties. Well Providing that the Winds are deemed fair this weekend. I will be flying George's 330 Condor. After John gets back from Utah he and I will get together where I will Fly John's Training Glider. I will evaluate My Flying as 100 Percent recovered when I can once again fly further than Topless Gliders. I also plan on Flying My Predator 100 Miles in under 4 Hours. Yes a Flight of 100 Miles in under Four Hours. That will be a good indicator of my being recovered. Yea Baby! things in My Life could be better. But things in My life have been far, far worse!
