Also had a great afternoon. Launched just before Jérôme and got in a 3h 35m flight up to 6800’.

Made my first ever trip to Pine, plus a couple trips back to CL and a low save just above the 750.

Air felt like a fruit salad of both ratty funky stuff and really nice smooth strong climbs.

To add: if you fix your membership or renew your USHPA membership, all you have to do on the CSS site to “refresh” your information is to log out and log back in to the website. Every time you log into the website (not just opening the website – any time you enter your email address and password), your USHPA information is pulled fresh.

My gawd – can we all STFU with our personal opinions on whether COVID is real or if mask wearing is effective?

Please take the conspiracy theories and other non-flight related banter over to Facebook. There’s plenty to be had there. If you want to have a say about the messaging on the homepage of the club’s site, why not become a member and run for a board position?

Agree.

In my opinion, option 2 seems like it would satisfy most of the responses I’ve seen so far.

I think those wimpy little thermals yesterday needed both wing types to come alive :)
