Default Got Big Thermals?

Uncle Fuzzy,

Uh, gee, thanks. That's what I've always wanted. I feel so much
better now.

If I could, I would reciprocate with a photo of my panel. At 1,000'
agl. In a 0.0 "thermal". Waiting and waiting and waiting for it to
build in a crescendo to the BIG 1.5 knotter that I know is really
there. Oh yea, it's in the blue. Sun is bright. Sun is hot. Sun is
beating down and I don't know why the damned canopy just doesn't melt
away. As I said, if I could get the photo, I would. But in those
times, I'm a bit too damned occupied with flying the glider and don't
have time to find the camera and actually take a picture. But, as
they say, "you get the picture." PhotoShop not required... :-)
