Have, or had. Thinking, 14 Years. Vegetables that Fly.

So: here I am Wednesday November Twentieth. I am doing what I have aways done in the Past. I am thinking about Flying. Maybe I should not think about Flying so much. Heck, I have not Flown a HG in over Fourteen Years. Due to My having had a Brain Injury. Well regarding what I just said about Brain Injury. When a Person, in My Case the Person is Me. Well once a Person has injured their Brain, I did indeed have a Crash while Flying My Beloved Predator 14 Years ago. So, there is one aspect of My having had crashed My Predator thus I sheered Brain Axons, Berain Damage. So here I am Typing away composing a Message that I will post: Oh in a few more Minutes from now, 10;38 AM. Heck I must finally go with what a doctor said regarding One of the first Prognosis's that I had. "He will Never be much better Mentally than a Potato". For I have come to learn that once a Person Damages His or Hers Brain. It is un-recoverable. I understand now that it is not that I Crashed My Predator, and I experienced Brain Damage. No, it us Not that Fourteen Years ago I had: {BRAIN DAMAGE}. I Have BRAIN DAMAGE

OK, ok: I am putting this up on the Hawks Bulletin Board because I am not able to access My E-Mail. What I wanted, want to say to Bob is this: Bob after I am back being a Pilot Who Flys, not just a Broken, Busted up Predator Pilot. I can see the Day When I drive South and Hok up with Bob. Bob and I will hopefully go do some flying together. Yes, this something that I look forward to Very Much.

I have done plenty of Positive raving regarding what aa nice pleasurable Flight that One can have when You Launch from one of the HG Launches that are up in the Sierra Mountains. EVERYONE HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFERENT TAKE ON JUST WHAT Site is More Pleasurable than other Flights. But if You wish to just simply remain Airborne, then You should take Your Glider and head on up to the Sierras. I enjoyed Flying up in the Sierras very much. I so look forward to being able to enjoy Flights that began at Sies named Gloud Buster, and Wolfs Peak. It would be quite a common occurrence that after Launching from one of those Flights. to be oh I do not know/ But rest assured. You might very well be topping out while You did Your best to Core a Thermal. You might find Yourself at possibly Fourteen Thousand Feet MSL. or possibly 1,800 Feet MSL, sucking O2. Being this High over the Sierra Mountains is a fantastic experience. I after topping out in a Thermal. I really did feel Free. MY World had opened Up.

Note to Bob: Bob You are going to love Flying up in the Sierras.

While I type this Post, I think about loading My Predator up, and then heading up to one of just Two great Places to launch My Predator. yes, maybe My first Flight will begin from Cloud Buster, or Wolfs Peak Launches. I mean the sense oof Freedom that Flying a Hang Glider returns to the Pilot is just intensified when I have begun an Aireal Adventure that begins at one of those Launches up in the High Sierras. When it comes to landing. The possibilities are simply limitless. You could land right back where You had launched from. Or as was the case regarding My last Flight. You just Might land over in Nevada. Flying up in the Sierras, for Me anyways means Freedom!

Bob, You will simply love Flying up in the Sierras. It is going to be where after You Land. That the feeling of sheer Joy, will be one of Your most Treasured Memories.

Predator: Flying again. Less a Hundred Pounds.

Here I am, I am once again thinking, fantasizing again about Flying My Predator. I fully realize that I am kind of a Pathetic Pilot Who simply dreams about Flying My Beloved Predator. But this time n My Life, my being Grounded will end. Yeas I dream of the Day when I will get My Driver's License reinstated. Then I will be able to load My Predator up, then I can go to any Launch that I will care to go to. Yes, this will be a very enjoyable change regarding what I am able to do. I know, I know that at My Core, I am a pretty sad case. But I do have some good Flights to look forward to.

Martin King said: "I have a Dream". Well Martin, I have a Dream! I am chomping at the Bit to Fly My Predator now that I weigh Two Hundred Pounds, or a little less than Two Hundred Pounds.

Back when I weighed a Pound or two less than Three Hundred Pounds. I enjoyed Flying My Predator that had such an incredible Sink rate. Now really now, if I fly the same Predator while having lost a third of My Body weight. Just how well will My Predator be able to Climb, thus staying in the Air Be?

But not all will be good regarding My having lost a Third of My Body Weight. Can You say, one stiff, hard to turn Predator. Possibly I will need to Fly with some Ballast.

Has anyone else lost a large amount of weight. then have gone on Flying their sane Glider? What did You experience? I am all Ears,

Good By Chris McKeon.

Here it is March second, Slack Sinday, Well Yes, I am sitting here thinking about, what else? I have been thinking about Flying My One Fifty-Eight Predator. I mean: why not think about Flying My Predator? I do think about when I am recovered to the point to where I can Drive. I will load My Predator up and drive Myself to any one Ove a few Launch sites up in the Sierras's. that way I will be able to Set-Up My Predator and launch it. Yes, I can see it in My Mind where I will launch, climb up to an altitude where I could head out on an XC Journey.

Why will I do a Flight like this? Because I can that's why. Isn't Flying a Great thing?
