Pete

nah if it was Pez he'd challenge me in the Spitzer Gollywomper. *Surely the Gapa can at least get out of sight of the airport by the end of the afternoon

Well Kid, I ain't a gonna say much 'till I go out an make a bona-fide
flight, now that I dun' set up that challenge.
Maybe that way, 'case I chicken out, nobody'd be the wiser. I don't
mind telllin' ya my knees is knockin' a bit thinkin'
about where I might be landin' that thing!

with a 2.15 handicap you won't have to go far!

Good goin’ Kid on Satuday! Ya dun skunked me good, faar and squaar!
But I gots ‘ta say I was right pleased that I got me my very first OLC GAPA flight that
same day what wasn't
grayed out! Just snuck into the bonafidee catagory with a whoppin’ 59.9 Km scorin’
distance. No. 109 for the day in the good old US of A! Right down at the very bottom of
page 3. I see you was up a ways from me at the bottom of page 2.

But looks like I did beat you in one category, that ‘a thermalin’ percentage time.
Mine were 71.63 and yours were 62.21. Maybe if you keep a watchin’ what I’m doin’, you can
gets your percent thermalin’ time up higher like mine!
I dun kept that GAPA up for 'bout nigh on to 2hours and 10 minutes. I had me the trailer hooked up and had me 'nother qualified Geezer name 'a “Del Blomquist” for my
crew - he's 87, so he's even older 'n me, a genuine Geezer fo’ sure.
I was figurin’ it’d be straight out distance fo’ sure, bein’ as how the
GAPA can’t go ‘gainst the wind for nothin’. But lo’ and behold, when
I got up there, if there warn’t hardly no wind at all, so I dun changed my
strategy and changed over to that there “Yo-Yo” category I been hearin’
‘bout. That was purty nice, ‘cause then I could stay ‘lot closer to the aerodrome.
But I did get purty low a couple of times. Once when I saw this high performance
machine they be callin’ a “2-33” circlin’ a mile or so away
‘an went in underneath him, but he didn’t really have nothin’, and flew off ‘bout as
soon as I started circlin’. That left
me downwind ‘a the aerodrome, ‘an d#!%$ed if I wasn’t too low to get back! Praise be
‘ta the almighty that I dun snagged me a thermal ‘a my own whilst headn’ for this
landin’ field I had me picked out, and got myself back up. That’ll teach me to
not be a leachin’ offen them high performance superships like unto that 2-33 in the
future.
I coulda’ stayed up even longer, but guest what? Just like a ‘lot a other super-hero’s,
I done found me a side-kick, name ‘a “Bartolomiej Klusek” what likes to fly the
GAPA ‘bout as much as I do. He’s a lot younger than me and a lot taller, but that’s OK
for a Geezer side-kick and actu’lly has some ‘vantages. He was wantin’ to make hisself a flight that day two, so I dun came down to let him have ago at it. Turns out he was born in POLAND, so’s it’s just like havin’ my own factory GAPA representative right here on the premises!
Darned if he can even read the manual that came with the GAPA, so we dun learn’t some new
stuff we never knowed b’fore! Too bad I dun hogged all the good thermals for the
day, so he didn’t get hisself a very good flight, but I’ll let him try again later. That first name ‘a
his is a real mouthful, we goin’ to have to find a good sidekick nickname for him if’n we get
syndeecated by Marvel Comics someday. I got to admits that I’m not two comfortable
with that super-hero logo. It’s kinda against my natural born modesty, but anyways, it warn’t my
idea, somebody else in that there local Avenal glider club done come up with it. But I also got’s to admit that idea of the Geezer a swoopin’ down and landin’ in the
GAPA at the scene of some injustice and rightin’ them wrongs and such is mighty
appealin’, leastwise in my imagination, anyways.

Man, there was a lot ‘a gliders up on Saturday! I be apologizin’ in advance if’n
I dun set off any ‘a them there FLARMS. If’n I did get that close to any of ‘em, I sure
didn’t see ‘um. I remember I dun accidently set off somebody’s car alarm over
at the WallyWorld (Walmart) parkin’ lot a couple ‘a times and it sure was embarrasin’! Man that
Whoop! Whoop! Woop! sound that loud like that a reverbiratin’ inside them cockpits would sure do a number on a guy’s ears I’ll bet! Hope nobody had ta go ta the Hospital to have their
eardrums patched or ‘nothin. Well, this be getting’ a bit wordy, so I’ll be a signin’ off.
