    I sold near 3,200 rides at Torrey ; from 1980 to 1990.

    Those were some Really Fun years in my life ; surfing and flying

    near every day , and living with State lifeguards in a beach-house !!! :)  :)  :)

    OR :

    Just make a video recording ; then post it on Youtube for a month, and if anyone wants to watch it :

    well they can. The little computer recording sticks, are really cheap ; and then it is a permanent record !

    Gene does an incredible amount of work for our club ; I don’t

    think he is thanked or respected , nearly as much as he should be.

    @ Thomas

    Santa Anna winds scare me much more when flying a HG or PG , rather than

    when in a heavy sailplane ; our light wing loading, makes us quite vulnerable

    like a butterfly  ! :(

    @ David :

    I agree to that .  Could even go further to place a 30-min parking limit ; violators must do 50 push-ups !

    Yea — it takes me :30 min to break down my Atos.

    …The root of the problem may be that a pilot feels validated to park their gear if there is no immediate need for others to use their space for packing. The combination of shade and a clean surface is inviting for parking gear. They become a trend setter showing “it is OK to park here”. Conflict happens when the space is needed. …

    I was a little curious as to why the PG’s get to fold up their $h!t in the shade near  sunset ; and the HG’s have to sweat in the sun ? I guess , if your a PG pilot , that it appears perfectly reasonable ; I fly Both PG and HG , and it doesn’t appear reasonable at all to me !!!
