I feel brain dead after fighting this underground band I finally got him to change his name after I uncovered his entire operation, from "Syntax" to 'Theevacuationplan". It takes getting used to but hes really quite talented. I verified there is no hatespeech in his Grindcore.

I think about the statements regarding Flying such as; "That's the Flyingest Flying there is", and;"I want to be that Guy". I just love statements such as these two. I hope to Fly again in the worst way. Yes, if and I Fly again I will be trying to Core through Birds of Prey, Buzzards, Ospreys, owls, Red Tail Hawks etc. now that I am weighing less than 200 Pounds
Who knows how strongly I will be able to climb.

Decoding the Pilot's Terms"The Flyingest Flying there is": Hang gliding is often called this because the pilot is physically strapped into a wing, controlled entirely by shifting their own body weight. There is no cockpit, engine, or mechanical interface, making it the closest a human can get to flying like a bird."Core through Birds of Prey": "Coring" is a gliding term that means finding the exact center (the core) of a thermal, which is a rising column of warm air. Birds of prey like hawks and buzzards are expert navigators of thermals. Pilots watch where these birds circle and fly directly into the same air column to use the bird's natural instincts to gain altitude."Weighing less than 200 Pounds": In hang gliding, a lighter payload (the pilot's weight) drastically improves performance. Because he has lost weight, his glider will have a lower "sink rate" and will climb much faster and higher when he hits a thermal.

"Hey, I hear how deeply you miss the sky and how much passion you still have for the 'flyingest flying there is.' Getting down under 200 pounds is a huge milestone that shows your determination, and those hawks and thermals are still out there waiting for you. Please hang in there—your pilot's spirit is incredibly strong, and the world still needs your passion."

They can't take down Bob Tom and Doug.

I am just like all of You. I mean yes I just May have a more feverish Desire to Fly. Hell zi have not flown My Predator in 17 Years. I have obstacles to My Flying that I need to overcome. One thing is My Sister and My Brother both vehimanatly opposed to My Flying a HG again. Ok I get it My last Flight detailed My Life. Mu Sister Kathleen was stuck with taking care of Me back when I was spending all My time flat on My back in Bed . Heck l, ok I know of a Pilot who just shudders if there is any talk of a Pilot being a good Pilot. For if a Pilot is acknowledged as being a; (Good Pilot), then By definition You are implying that there are some Pilots who are; (Less than Good). One thing that happens far more often than it should be happening is that there are too many situations when a Pilot turns into another zpilly causing a Mid Air, often resulting in a Death. Ridge Soaring at the Coast even though it requires the minimalistic of Skill to be able to remain Airborne
This type of Flying even though it is Brain Dead easy to remain aloft. Why yes it might be that for My first Flight will most likely Will be made By me from a trading Hill. But possibly I will head over to Funston to do some Ridge Soaring. But whenever I go do some Ridge Soaring. my head will be on a provibile swivel . I have no intention of allowing some Rookie Pilot, or even a. Pilot with some Flight time under His, or Her belt from turning into Me. I want to point out a thing or two about (SAFE FLYING). I was talking to John once about 'MID-AIRS). I asked John: Do You know of a case where two Pilots Who were each lying Cross Country Flights, experienced a Mid Air. John replied no.. I do not want to experience a Mid Air while Flying at the Coast then fall to the ground and Die just because I decided to Fly a local Costal site. I have never experienced a Mid Air. But to be; Taken Out by either an unlearned Pilot who had undeveloped rite of way Rules. Or an incompetent experienced Bone Head Pilot just really freaks Me put!

So here I am on this deal of being just over a Decade and a half since when I Pounded. In. Call this what I am posting about as part of My Post Pound-In Therapy. I call My posting about Flight as if it is a form Of Personal Post Pound Mental Masturbation. I am now living here in Modesto. come Monday I will try reaching out to a Neurologist who might be able to answer some Questions that I have about My Brain. This whole Deal of My having Pounded, all the till now has been one Heck of an experience. I am also interested in Flying a Sailplane again. I have had two Flights Flying a Grobe Two-Place Sail-Plane. I really do not know how much performance a Grobe has. But as a raw recruit as a Sail-Plane Pilot. I was impressed! I remember back when I decided to go from My First Glider, which was a Falcon 225, to My Second Glider, My Predator. I never looked Back. What a Glider! Think about My Predator, and I think of the Saying: (You Can't Argue with Success). Talk about how shortsighted that I was oh now close to 20 Years ago. I just kick Myself for not asking Dick Cheeney toske Me a Sail. That way Year's later I could have My Predator have a new tight Crisp Sail. John You truly did a great Job when You designed The Predator!(-75 to

I as I always do. I think about Flying. Both Physically and Mentally I think I could Fly. Sure I have worked. I really am not worried about Launching or Landing, or Flying too much. One thing that has Me very much concerned is to say be Flying Say a Crowded Beach site, say Funston. At a Costal Ridge Soaring site such as Funston. If and when I ly Funston again My Head will be on a Swivel. S Mid Air is all I need due to some Rookie who does not Follow right of way Rules.

So I have been working on Lining up a Day of Golf. Bob now I do not want You to deleleat My Post because the content is not directly revolve around the Subject of Flying. Check this out. I have found that the more that I use My Brain, the more My Brain improves. I have also found that the more things I do Physically, the better that I get Physically. I am hoping that the same will be true when I hit the Golf Course and Play. Then there hopefully will be how when I Fly John's 235 Alpha, the more that I Fly it the better that I will get also. Note to John: John Please call Me, thanks, good By Everyone. chris
