Highland Monday Aug04 ?

Post by markc »

Anyone having a sudden attack of fever and chills, which can only be remedied
by the healthy airs of the Eastern Shore?

Sure looks like it could be a good Highland day tomorrow....

We can't seem to catch a break this year... the orange tug cracked it's engine block yesterday.
The yellow one's still down with a cracked boom tube. I'm not sure which one Adam will tackle first, but I do know that they're both big projects.

I think me and Grant are going to see about thermalling out on the scooter tow and PGs. I'm sure it'll be tricky, but it'll be fun to try.

Catching one on a PG low down is pretty easy--as I'm sure you know--but I was wondering if it might be easier from the field just north since there often seems to be thermals lurking around there near the tree line and dump area (i.e. maybe try towing from there)??

Bummer about the tug! Hope that the repairs go as smoothly as those
things can.... Sounds like Adam's going to deserve a few good brews
the next time we're all out there.
