Winds light SE. Waited for a glass off that was not very magical. Got back to launch height in a little bubble then head down to the elbow and maintained ridge height for a couple of passes. Burned it in to the secondary, planned on coming over the barn parallel to the wires but it was so east I turned base and final over the road and landed on top of the spine. Still have to carry out.
Larry,Pete and myself hanging. Bacil came but had people to meet. Matthew,Elle and several others bagging.
Bags did much better in the glass off.

Glass Off???
Excuse me. I was out there thermalling my ass off in light lift in my PG for a good 40 minutes before the so-called glass off. I got up after everyone else had sunk out-- even the great ones: Larry and Pete. And I recall watching you scratch and try to get up while I topped out at 900 over in the light thermals and had the sky to myself till we got the nd of day light glass-off.
Got 1:10 and 900 over.
Jeesh. The one time I do better the Pete L. (actually the 2nd time) I get no credit at all. :)

Actually my shoulders are so stiff I can barely touch my back! And hey, I'm always accurately reporting on everyone else's great flights and giving them their due congrats while at the same time reporting on how much I suck at flying and how I screw up and have crappy flights.
I'm just looking for some accuracy. Is that too much to ask?

Great Googly-moo!
Amended flight report
Sorry Matthew.....
I forgot to be bi-sensitive....
Flight Report amended:
Yes, Matthew (in a bag) spanked the best hanggliding pilots in PA and myself in some very light lift. He was then joined by many other bags for a nice evening flights while I pulled the leaves off my base tube and then broke down my plumbing and trudged out carrying my 80# + of flying equipment.
