711, If you are referring to my semi-tongue-in-cheek post, Nothing I
wrote is a rumor. *ALL of that I have personally Been There, Done
That, Seen It. It is hard to tone down the awesomeness of Ely and I do
have an uncalibrated and bent sense of fun. * Many, apologies.


No need to apologies, but I might of missed all that been their, done
that stuff. Seen several come back in twilight, one was really dark
twilight. I will say if you act carelessly now, you will be gone,
forever. By the way, when were you their last?


But Heck , I did not even get to the really interesting stuff (wink,
wink, nudge). *You and I have shared the ramp, the BBQ, *and the sky
but since I am only one of the ****** wannabee little people, you may
not have noticed. *I tend to just enter the pattern and land after my
X-C adventures.


Nobody that I know. including myself, who goes to Ely, treats anyone
as a ****** wannabee. All are extremely friendly and more than willing
to help anyone. I have been on 3 day retrieves. The nitely BBQ's are
always attended well and the folks that come to Ely are from around
the world and different walks of life.


OK, I'm busted. *Your are correct, the mushrooms in the Polish dish
really aren't hallucinogenic; they do taste incredibly good, however.


I sure never said anything about mushrooms................or wing
nuts.

And the wing nut was 17mm, and not 13mm.

Someone who has also been there, done, that, seen it, and based on
your own post would have some smattering of credibility with you
emailed me, stating:


Well, DUDE, I have never emailed you. Your poem (or rap or rant)
didn't provide any information for a new person coming to Ely. The
great basin and Ely do require one's soaring skills to be attained
before they get their. But they can come and enjoy local soaring and
progress from their.


*"LOL for your Ely forecast. You totaled nailed it, in poetic
fashion. Best thing I’ve seen on soaring in ages, and you’re right, we
miss ElyDan and Tom Stowers. *We’ll arrive right around July 1,
looking for whatever thrills this year will hold."


Just had lunch with Stowers on this last Wednesday at the airport cafe
in Minden. We were talking about Ely. He's doing well. Haven't seen
Dan in several years, Kevin is still working, he got married and then
came the divorce.



But perhaps she is an alien and is hallucinating due to all the clean
air and sage. *Or maybe she needs to "tone it down" as well.

The RAS community really needs to get their sense of humor re-
profiled. *I hear you need .020 in 3 inches.

711, that was a Great and Useful Post. *Many thanks for the data.


My post was for the person who was asking about Ely. Its along way to
drive if the ramp's full and much better to plan ahead. Also, tow fees
and other fees have changed over the last few years. So, its a good
idea to call ahead. Those that go to Parowan might find it useful not
just to show up and also call ahead.

I did enjoy your writing skills, Sci Fi might be needed for Soaring
magazine.

See You in the GB!

Well, I hope on the ground in Ely. If your that dude who was hiding in
the firehouse, well you can't do that anymore as TSA controls it. We
even, several years ago, took our wireless antenna down and moved it
from the firehouse to the Jet center and everyone now get's free
wireless. Theirs even sofa's in the hanger and 3 golf carts to tow to
the end of the runway with. Headlamps, wow, maybe chewing gum wrapper
turned to reflect light so the airspeed can be seen...just maybe on
that one, as you never know who's reading these posts............dude.

you be da man................ 711.
