So, so Brain impaired:
So here it is a what most People would call a Nice-looking Sky. I on the other hand. I look up at a largely Cloudless Sky. I think; Yes, I think. Believe Me when I say things such as {I Think}. I Think meaning that as always, my thoughts are regarding Flying. I look up at the Sky, the Big Blue sky. I think that if I were to Fly Today, to Fly XC. I would be experiencing a tough time locating thermals, without having Nice Puffy Cumi nimbus Clouds with Dark Flat Bottoms which as We all know are visual indicators of Thermal Activity. I will never know what the Flying will be like today, except that is if I am able to read some Sonoma County Pilots Post write Up.
Even though when it was happening. When I was Flying an XC Route, getting so low. So low as to I really should have been having finale thoughts as to where I was to set My Predator Down. I really should have Committed to initiating A DBF. But My Trusty Vario would Beep a few Times. I would immediately Turn toward the side of My Predator that rose a little. I would be rewarded with the sound of My Vario going Beep, Beep, Beep. I would think to Myself as heck so many of You think when You hook an elusive thermal thus rising again, hopefully all the way to Cloud Base.
OK to all of You Pilots here on the Hawks Web - Site. No Matter Where You Fly. It maybe that You launch and Fly at the Coast. You Might launch from a Mountain then Fly an X - C Route, or maybe some Training Hill. It in My Mind it matters not where the Air You are Flying in. But isn't Flying Reat!
BRAIN DEAD, HARDLY!
