Feels like groundhog day

February 16, 2013:  Feels like Groundhog Day



Same as yesterday.  Got to launch early.  Looked like it would OD. Launched and climbed out. Missed a climb after the second thermal trigger and sunk out. Rain and over development made a second try impossible.

Hang gliders getting ready on East Launch at Mt. Borah

The blue tooth radio set worked fine today.  I also managed to get a couple good pictures of the hangs and of Kenneth, a Chinese pilot from Hong Kong who followed me over the back.

Out of altitude and ideas.  Time to land.

Getting back early we headed for Tamworth.  I owed Mary Beth a movie and dinner. Pizza at the Red Embers on Peal Street downtown.  Pretty good when washed down with Lambrusco.  Home by 9:30 and ready for another flying day. 

Weather forecast for tomorrow looks pretty much like the last two days.  Here we go again.  Maybe this time I’ll get it right.  The clouds always seem to look better on the ground than in the air.
