Well, I did make a feeble attempt at actually to take to the Air yesterday. My Flying Friends Dave C, Gregg S, Pilot-X, Gregg S, and Myself all drove over to Benicia where There is Training Hill. We had George W's Giant 330 WW Condor. So there I was all hooked-in, I had performed a Hang Check. But that was as far as I got too taking to the Sky. That old nemesis of Pilots everywhere reared it's ugly Head, "GOOD JUDGEMENT" . I did not launch. I deemed it to blustery, and witchy. Plus I was hooked into a borrowed Glider. George W's Condor. I have waited this long to fly, 12 Years Two Months 12 days, What's another week or a Month or two. Eventually I will Fly. I simply just hate Good-Judgement. Good Judgement is impacting My possible Air-Time in a negative way! Darn it, I want to Fly.

Just remember that good judgement is keeping YOU from impacting in a negative way!!

Step by step, you're coming back.

But don't skip any steps!!

You know what happened to Me; A severe Pounding on March 28th 2010. A Day that for Me will go down in infamy. Here I am so excited about having My First Flight in twelve Years. I tell all you Guys this has been one Heck of an experience. I have my initial first Flight since That Day; March 28th 2010. By the way that is a Day that has gone down in infamy for Me. Pounding and almost Dying. Heck, anyone can do that. The Hat Trick regarding doing something like i did on March 28th. 2010. They real Hat-Trick is to Recover Fully. To regain My 100 Percent Physical and Mental capability. Now that would be a Hat-Trick! It is like what John said to Me a couple of Years ago. When John replied to what I had said about regaining Myself to what I was before I pounded. I want to get back to be at a 100 percent recovered state. John replied by saying; "Your 100 Percent is a very large Number" This road to my personal recovery has been a Long Long, LONG ONE.
