My Variometer disappeared upon My completring my Last Flight. You see Fire-men showed up. Well these FireMen Broke Down My Glider. Well as it turned oout. those fire-Men, or should i so as to be Politically Correct. I guess I should say; Those Fire People did not understand How to properly break down My Glider. I have no Idea where My Variometer went. Who knows ? Maybe because I hit the ground so hard. Maybe the Variometer was blown off My Control Bar and went to Who knows? I am currently looking into My getting a new Variometer. Maybe a Garmin that has more capabilities. Such as GPS.

THINGS I KNOW:

I know that AC/DC when Bon Scott was the Front Man. I know that AC/DC was the Greatest, Hottest Rocking Band there ever was.

I know that My Predator One Fifty Eight is the Greatest Hang-Glider ever made. Thank You John:

You Guys really truly have no relevant Point of reference from which to draw from. Well I have no Doubt that some of You have taken extended Sebatticles

from Flying. But I have not flown ever since March 28th Two Thousand Ten. When I was expected to Die. Don't laugh My Kaiser Hospital Doctors, and Doctors at John Muir Hospital completely Wrote Me off. I was expected to Die. But Dead Pilots can not Fly. I intend on Flying, quite possibly this coming Weekend, I will Fly.

FYI, you can embed videos in your posts with the "youtube" and "vimeo" tags. For example, here's what you would enter to embed your video:

It will show up like this:

Embed, How do I do the embedding. I have such limited Computer Skills.

I know that My Perseverance Born thoughts on how I am trying to once again regain My rightful place up in the Sky, May bore, Bother You Guys. But posting My Thoughts up here on the Hawks Website gives Me Solace, Comfort. I do not know Why but it does. I always had a Good Brain. That is why once when i was oh about Twenty years Old. I turned Down an offer to Drop Acid. No way. I replied; No thank You. I have a good brain, I want to keep it that way".

Then I go and pond Myself into the Ground, and sheer many Axons. But that was then, this is now.

If you have a YouTube link, it will generally look like this:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi1OfJLiDP8

You can embed it into your post by typing this in your post:

      [youtube]Oi1OfJLiDP8[/youtube]

You'll notice that the video ID of the original link is between the [youtube] and [/youtube] tags. Give it a try.

You are an inspiration to all of us Chris. You will fly again, and we will all cheer for you.

Pending, Hopefully ; LIGHTS CAMERA CONDOR.

You know this possible upcoming Flight Quite Possibly this Weekend will not be a Flight where I will climb up to Cloud Base or Higher. I will not be embarking on an Cross Country Flight, No nothing of the sort shall I will be embarking on rival My Flight flying that WW Condor!

But When I lift that Great Big Circus Tent sized Condor up, and I play with the Direction and the Pich. I will do as any of You Guys do. I will feel how the Golder responds to My input's. I will scan the Sky. When I feel the Time is right, I will stride that Big Bird up into the Sky! John told Me; "On any Slope, with just about any Wind, You can walk that glider into the Air". The Flight will be by Far; The most rewarding, satisfying Flying experience ever for Me!

OK, I have some Flying Needs that will need to be addressed. First off Instruments; What are Guys using for GPS units? Also Are there Vario GPS. Units available today? You see I have not Flown for aa of tomorrow, It will be Twelve Years Five Months since My last flight. So as You can imagine I am a little bit out of Date. I had a Vario when I Pounded. But it is now long Gone. You see some Fire-Fighters Cobbled my gear together. I know they meant well but My Glider was broken down and stuffed into it's Bag it was a sorry state of affairs. So John will perform an IRAN on My Predator. I have to this Day no idea why Firefighters showed up. There was no Fire.

Another Question: Can anyone recommend a device, a compact disc Player that I could use to be able to Play some "EASY LISTENING MUSIC" such as AC/DC when I Fly?

Anyways as soon as I can get myself to either a Training Hill in Berkley. Or Maybe wWe will head over to the Coast.

So gthis about it for now. I hope You guys have some input with Flying Gear, and Easy Listening Music Playing while one's Predatating.

First off take Note Bob: Ok this a promotive Disclaimer By Me. I will use a Filthy in Your Eyes. I am going to use a foul Cuss Word. But please do not Ban Me for Doing so Because this Word really even though I am using this word so that the word I would have wanted to use is such a Filthy word. But I want to get across just how Badly I want to Fly.

Ok here I go; I am just so plain down Amorous to Fly. I can not Fly today because Pilot-X is not available to be able to Fly George's Condor. But have no doubt. The day will indeed come when I will Fly.

Here another Disclaimer; I used another foul Filthy offensive Four letter word. Again Bob Please do not Ban Me for saying this Word; I plan on getting High!

Dogs and Ponys Fly.

Postby Chris McKeon » Tue Aug 30, 2022 8:31 am

I just wonder if when I do Fly. Will I will be Guilty of some sort of Plagiarism when I compose a song agut My Flying? There was that Beatles song; With a Little Help from My Friends. Well the Way I will get back to My Home, The Sky. Is by My Friend Pilot-X Giving Me some Help. Yes when X-says; Lets go Flying. I will go Flying.
As you guys know x use's an Alias; "X" but why it is the case with X why we are not supposed to write X's Name? Heck everyone knows X's real name. But we all go along with this Dog and Pony show.
