Well, you know what they say... You rope one goat....

Shaun, you mention hauling your L13 to Eagleville to "get this done" and get this "goat rope stated".
Im curious, what are you trying to get accomplished other than going flying?

Private pilot add on - glider. I'm already rated airplane single engine land and rotorcraft helicopters. I'm partway done with my BFR in powered aircraft. Should have that knocked out in the next couple weeks.

If I get that much finished I'll consider the season a success.

If we're done for the year I'll have two sailplanes for sale and when they're gone I'm buying a Long Ez project to work on this winter. I've already looked at the Long Ez and it's about 80 percent by a reputable builder.

People would ask what the bottom pockets on the flight suit were for.

I carried a survival fishing kit on one side and a big K-Bar knife plus
some other junk on the other.Â* But I was doing a lot of flying above the
Arctic Circle in Alaska at the time.

I used them for maps and other docs. If you put a couple of rusty Tost
rings in there after a couple of months they would come out shiny, You
chinked a lot when you walked though, made creeping up on people
difficult.

I always told them it was to hold the sheep's back legs in a survival situation.
