    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.

    I have bin flying PS since 1989 , and never even once , considered what a bit of break would

    do ; other than increase cell pressure a bit .
