Albuquerque Soaring Club seeks pilots
Mark -- You apology is accepted, and I offer mine to you. I didn't
read it as a joke, but if that is what it was, I appologize. Sorry also for my apparent lack of humor. |

Albuquerque Soaring Club seeks pilots
A group hug is in order! Maybe a sing-a-long!
"Apparent Lack of humor" provides support for my thesis that the X-C glider community has all the fun-factor of a dirt clod. Thermal well? Yes I do, but I have largely given up circling for going really fast straight ahead, being an OLCSlut and all. Do you circle well? BBQ Beef: Hoggly Wogglies mixed Ray's and a splash of Cabernet if available Salmon: I will never divulge my secrets! Teryaki Beef: Soy, garlic, molasses, red wine, hoisin, mustard, ginger, cilantro Chicken: Goya citrus with blood oranges Any favorites for kangaroo, Jim? Can anyone recommend well-priced quality red wines? |

Albuquerque Soaring Club seeks pilots
YO! Diver Dudes -
I was looking at the B/S ratio map on Dr. Jork's bitemap when it struck me. All them dangle diver dudes that used to dive dangle divers daily don't have the social skills workshop forum they used to have like when they were trying to use their feet as undercarriage. They just don't get to hang out on the edge of jagged cliffs and chew on each others necks like they used to while waiting for the wind to stop blowing the wrong way. Gone too are the fistacuff furballs that littered the landing zones. Now that they fly big buck Saleplanes, that part of their life is left wanting. Their tanks need to be vented. Here's a couple of suggestions. Off season poker tourneys might be fun, but there is no .igc log available to accurately handicap (as in adjust the B/S ratio) the players. Another thing we should consider is off season boxing tournaments, with actual money involved, to release this pent up swoopage. Hey! Now, THAT could easily lead to sponsorship and other perks. Think about it......Imagine entering the pattern and announcing, "This is the K-Mart, Texaco, Hooters, Coca Cola, Neosporin, IBM, Advil, BigWind/BossCloud/AlphaNumeric SuperDuperSuperShip, entering downwind for runway 29---get all that crap outta my way - - NOW!" That would be SOOooo cool. Who wouldn't like that? Unfortunately, with real money involved, (don't forget the perks!!!) the NEXT off season would then probably have to escalate from boxing to paintball. Or perhaps just some good ol' fashioned raiding and looting parties. Anything to help cease the internalized fuming. Too bad that while announcing all that on the radio that poor sot squeaking back to the airport on a marginal straight in glide wasn't heard and was forced to take out some runway lights.... Gotta go paint some cool sponsor stuff on my CellPlane and dig up some frap rabbit recipies. Spotface Staff writer-Hang Diving magazine Co-author-Diver Driver magazine I did lots of other important stuff too. P.S. a special "Howdy!" to Mr. No S. Mucho in NM. |

Jeez! Didn't mean to kick over the ant farm! Just an attempt at tongue- in-cheek response to the WS "hired guns wanted" post. Apologies to all who took offense. MM This internecine catfight between US clubs is all well and good, but what I want to know is, how are our european overlords planning to jigger the rules to give themselves a chance at breaking into the top 5? |

The winter months must be coming, and boredom taking it's toll. ...So we're back to rec.aviation.fistfight. The barbecue idea sounds better than the bar room brawl. How does your club fare with shrimp and scallops on the barbecue? What are the favorite marinades for chicken or beef? Jim .... Speaking of which. LVVSA on Roach DL this weekend. Auto tows, ritual sacrifices to the lift Gods, BBQ, telling lies around the campfire, etc.. I can't wait!! |
