    Bille, the developers and neighbors have been very accommodating to us so far. That’s exactly why we need to be careful, so that we don’t attract negative attention from any of them. I think it’s fair to say that we all want what’s best for the club in our own way, however, there are proper ways to go about it.

    Fully agree , and I realize the “Why” I respect you so ; (your not stupid, and you articulate well) !!

    On another note — Ya see the tone was when we started with , on this conversation , and how the viewpoints were presented  ; it would be nice if everyone in the club could tone down the rhetoric , (including Me) and realize that everyone is different, and everyone has an opinion worth considering , (even if ya don’t like it) !!!

    I can see your point Jana !!

    However as I already stated ; I really like that new upper training a Lot , and I doubt anyone asked the Encore University Hills, LLC, a Delaware Corporation , for permission to put it there ?

    I did pay twice last year , and knew Full well that Jeff had sent me a refund check in the mail ; I was broke and kept my mouth shut.

    Last night , I had mentioned this to a club member , and he donated 2/3’rd of my club membership to me , (Great Guy) !!!!!

    SOOooo…

    I’d like to put that cash in the club general fund, and I will pay the

    balance when i return with my HG, next month.

    All the HG & PG pilots at CSS , are human ; and people can and will get agitated.

    Yesterday i got Mad at nature ; it provided me with a Sled-Ride , and

    I did not appreciate it . LOL

    Mankind has bin hitting each-other in the head with sticks , ever since

    the onset of modernity, (near 30 to 50 thousand years ago) and it doesn’t

    appear to be ending at any time soon . With the sum total of all mankind’s

    knowledge doubling at a rate of once a year ; Bille does have faith that humans

    will one-day , all get along with each other, and we will be traveling the heavens

    with ease !!!

    I will be giving the victim of the tire slash , a $5 bill  , to help calm his frame of mind

    a bit ; I know that I would be Pissed !!

    Monday , June 19

    I wanted another flight on my Atos VRX ; wanted it SOOooo bad that I almost went for it by myself, and knew the wind was a bit more than I could safely handle. I could not find a driver , willing to watch me setUp and launch me . This flight would have bin Awesome, with little fear of the landing approach for a 15-m wing , (cause I’d already don it)  and I knew the beast was flying to near perfection in the air.

    Dan’s check-list , (… Conditions right… ) ; that would be a NO , and so I packed up my $h!t , and went back home to Vegas , (to FLY , another day) . :(

    Yea — I could’a Probably self launched, and had a Blast  ; but I would be Dead , if I had bin wrong.
