Those woodpeckers fill every open hole with acorns. Theres a 2 inch conduit running vertically the length of the tower. Airsites Bill mentioned new wires couldnt be passed through due to them so we decided to shake it out. Hundreds of acorns came out of the thing once we got them started falling out. After big rain years the number and size of the acorns is amazing. I can only guess the woodpeckers find themselves in a heaven where the streets are paved with acorns and all they have to do is find a place to put the things.

A springtime regular, Catalina Eddy, showed up and stole the show.

yep, a yugo. a naked man butt lookin yugo that you gotta look at for 30 years yugo. a yugo that F Lee Baily cant get you divorced from for any price. A yugo that no amount of lipstick or liquor can fix. I have more if you need.

With a 6pm start, one would probably get 15-20 runs. Late day provides conditions that let the piloting determine the outcome, not the conditions determining the outcome. The narrative is day 1 speak that everyone has long forgotten but should hear every year. Launch and landing explained in simple terms. The purpose of each. Launching and landing is easy. Anxiety can keep you from performing the task at hand. Reps on the training hill get you out of the passenger seat and back confidently in the pilot’s seat.

Side note: Had  solo student launch 6pm or so. I had walked down to launch first, unhooked and got him launched. Went to grab my glider and spotted a little rattlesnake right there next to the base bar. It was coiled up and managed a little strike as I picked up the wing but he couldnt reach far enough. Warm spring weather brings out the snakes so watch your step.

The scales seem to be messed up on BLtop and BLdepth too. I do like the contrast in positive and negative values in the convergence graphic. Thank You Alan.
