I called in sick today and......

Postby Tony de Groot » Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:05 pm

I really was sick. Haha, got ya!! It sure felt weird asking for time off. I was like, "No, no, I really AM sick this time!" Anyway, I guess I have this thing called pneumonia going on. Back on antibiotics. Yech. And to lay around and watch all those pretty clouds. C'mon, how good was it? Also, my house is out in Goleta near the center of the pass and the clouds looked a lot better westward than to the east. So, do tell, what was the days adventures, knob polishing, misteps or glory???

Flight of the day goes to Zippy (shocking I know) Somewhere near whiteledge and back for an entertaining landing at the beach. Entertaining as in Awesome! Where's that video Bob?
Hangliding is not the best.
Paragliding is not the best.
Thermal flying IS the best!

Grumble, grumble...sitting at my desk at home, at work, grumble grumble
Listening to 144.250, grumble grumble, Taggart and Zippy flying by, grumble some more...
Torm MCL, grumble grumble some more,
Oh well, at least someone got to score...grumble some more.
So what's the prognosis for Sat? Time to try out the knee with a brace. A nice soft landing at East Beach after a couple of sweet loops would sure feel nice!
Dang Zippy, nice fly by, or should I say Flys-byes?
