So, to John, John, will You call either My Sister's Cell Phone or the land Line here in Cazadero? You or anyone else can still call My Cell Number 925-497-1059 and leave a Message for Me a message. This is about it, Good by Chris.

OK, what I am about to type here may be trivial, and so mundane, and I typed it so very. Very Slowly. But what I am doing should be considered an accomplishment, A huge step forward for Me. For here I am: "Touch Typing"

My Question for Bob:

Bob My question for You is this: Well as You know, Fourteen Years ago I had a really bad Landing Event. So right up to this Day, I have been attempting to get back to being a Healthy Normal sort of a Guy. Granted My "NORMAL" is what Everyone Elses "ABNORMAL". My Abnormal always was My"{NORMAL", it aways was My "NORMAL". Allways was, it will always be.

So, Bob what I want to ask Is this: Would it be OK if I used this Forum in order to get Feedback from a large Pool of Pilots? I want to get Feedback on Two supplements. hope that there are a Pilot, or Two who have taken these Supplements and will comment on the Effects that They derived from taking The Supplements.

The reason for this request really is not too Off Topic. For the reason for My request was formulated by the effects of My last Flight Fourteen Years ago.

I am hoping that You will be agreeable. Let Me know Thanks Bob,
Chris McKeon

{PLAYING WITH MYSELF}

OK, I know Bob that I am venturing off Flying. But really though' I do not see that I am Off Topic that Much. Look at John, John Plays Guitar.

So, My Question: I have a Gibson SG. I want to be able to play through a device. When Playing could I listen to Myself Playing through Headphones?

Another Question, a Flying Question at that. I have not Flown My Predator in Fourteen Years. Is there finally a better Performing King-Posted Glider on the Market Today?

Hi Chris,

Sorry I haven't checked the forum in a couple of days and missed your questions.

Yes. If It's about hang gliding, you can start it here. If It's not about hang gliding, please put it in the free speech zone.

I believe that should be possible.

I would expect that there is, but I don't know for sure. The answer obviously depends on your definition of "better performing".

Regarding My Idea of: "Beter Performing". Ok Bob: measuring the Performance of One Wing compared to another Glider So, what I wonder is that when I am back Flying My Predator again. Will it still be the case as it was Fourteen Years ago, that When another Pilot Flying His Topless "Super Glider". Will When He, or another of My Friends are Flying on a Given Day, launching from the same Mountain. Both of Us heading out XC. Should I expect as the case was Fourteen Years ago that Upon Both of Us having landed. Will it be like it was in the past that My Predator will carry Me Further? I want to be totally up Front and clear about the other Factor, other than their Gliders Performance. As it is as We all know: Being a "GOOD PILOT", is a Skill Set. But when I flew from the same Mountain and then at the End oof My Flight, I was able to because My Predator with it's Phenomenal Sink Rate, coupled with the Fact that The Predator, even though it is saddled with the Drag from the fact that it has a Kingpost and Luff-Lines through the Air. The Predator still is capable of delivering a pretty Good Glide.

If one cannot remain Airborne. Then all that performance that Your Topless Glider has, does You no good. My admiration for the Design of My Predator runs deep. But then0 again Technology March's on. Possibly the Predators Day in the Sun, is now regulated to: {The Predator Was a Great Performing Glider}. In the Last Fourteen Years. There Must Be Better Designed Hang gliders, right?

So: Here I am typing a Post that I will post on this site. I have been Playing Highway to Hell on My Guitar. Playing My Guitar, I give Credit to Part of My recovering from this dose of Spasticity that I have that is on the Left side of My Body. I aim to improve how My Hand works. Speaking of: "Work". I find that when i do mundane tasks out in My Mothers Yard, such as Pulling Weeds and Picking up redwood Branches
, I have found that doing this activity. Bending over and picking up branches. I pick up branches with My left Hand. This has paid Me dividends regarding My being able to see how I am able to see real targetable gains.

Doing things like the Playing of My SG, working out in the Yard, while not falling down. These activities will enable Me to get to Where I very well Might Fly again, Yea Baby!
