OK, I know that I should just simply wait until when John comes up here to Cazadero so that John and I will get together, then go do some Flying. I want John to perform an IRAN on My Predator also.

Anyways, as part of My ongoing efforts to improve My Physicality. Ny Sister and I walk down and backup Silvia Drive. Silvia Drive T's into Austin Creek road. What I want to ascertain is; I want to know what the overall average Grade of Silvia Drive is from the bottom, where Silvia Drive T's into Austin Creek road up here at My Mothers House, Silvia Drive. So should I use a GPS. And a Vario to resolve My interest in knowing what the Overall Average Grade id By ascertaining how much Horizontal distance is Traversed, versus the Vertical component, this will be where the vARIO COMES INTO pLAY. Ok, Just how do II get this Figured Out? Do I after have the amount of Horizontal distance traversed, would I, Will I divide the amount of rise into the amount of Climb that is involved?

Ok, look. Silvia drive as far as roads goes is fairly stteep. I just would like to know what the grade is as an average.

That's really great Chris!! I think that's a great therapy!

FYI, I included a typing program in that little computer I sent you, but I'll try to post a copy here as well. It's a cute little program with several built in features. One of the nicest features is that you can copy and paste any text into it, and it will force you to type that text perfectly with no mistakes. So you could copy and paste anything that you might want to read (a web post, a web page, or even an e-book). You can read it as you type it. That helps keep your interest and keep from getting bored.

I'll try to post it later today with good instructions.

Ok, currently I am thinking that I should acquire a Manual Typewriter so that I will be able to have another Device with which I will be able to give My left hand, and the Left Hands Fingers a good work-out. It would be great to Type, having to reach out and depress each Key. Do this Would/Will be a good way to exercise the Muscles in My Left Hand, Primarily the Extensor Muscles.

GUITAR:

I Play My Gibson SG all the Time. I love to pick My way through the Pentatonic scale. Also how well I am able to form Chords is improving all the time.

Yes. Many times we have experienced a posting failure. Each time you submit the very next thing you must see is a notification that your post has been successful. If that fails you must tap the back arrow and hit submit again until you receive the successfully submitted notification.
The safest option is to do it in word or document then copy/paste it to the Hawks. That way you have a copy that you can return to.
