Oooh! I've got new wallpaper. If I knew something like that was coming,
it'd be worth the drive to Ranger Creek or Packwood to attempt flying in
it. Too bad all the Seattle pilots put their gliders away in the winter.

Eric,
Not my glider!!! Batteries are home on the charger and the bird is in
the trailer just waiting for an awesome day. Brad, Ron, Chuck and
myself tried to fly wave over Pilchuck/3 fingers on Dec 1st, but we
got started too late that day. Moisture moved in and shut us down. But
it was booming all over the place up here.
We might try and put together a Mt Baker expedition out of
Concrete....

Is anyone ready for attempts on Mt Rainier? That looks like it needs a
long tow or a motorglider.
