  1. If the weather cooperates, meaning less wind than the last few days, I'll be out in that field working on my turns and "landings". I've got the standard battery that comes with the plane and an upgraded one for now. I plan on flying as much as I can before the loss of light makes it unfeasible to fly. I'm still wondering if I should switch to "pro" mode for this, or wait until I scrap a few dozen MORE wings.

  2. SM1 sold me on the Challenger, and I've been tearing up wings learning the quirks of that bird. Luckily for me, and my ego, I've been flying it out in the middle of a plowed field behind my house, so only a few toothless inbreeders are able to see what I'm doing. I haven't activated the "pro" mode on this plane yet, as I'm still toying with what it does in sport mode. I'm wondering if I'm doing my training any justice by staying in sport mode, however.

  3. Aww, come on now! That's not fair. I'm not interesting enough for you to hold your breath over! Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  4. Yeah, but the signals are mixed: biplanes are close; gliders are close...maybe a few WWII gilders? Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  5. Eh, I figure everyone's got to do their own thing in their own time. No pressure or anything. Your forum runs amok in your absence, no big deal.

  6. Not to sound terribly petulant and impatient, but all this hedge-mo-copter talk doesn't get us any closer to the revelation of the secret aircraft. Personally, I'm thinking Micro's guess has got to be close.

  7. Things a'brewing, and I'm not talking about gastrocolic reflex. I may have some exciting news to share soon, but I don't want to jinx myself just yet...

  8. Huge smiles for the former and a little backed-up bile for the latter? Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  9. Kiss ass! No, because that would be unseemly and ungentlemanly. Wait, you meant figuratively? Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  10. Rosa, you're such a sweet girl. Just to see you smiling in your avatar pic is more than enough to make my day.

  11. Have a great birthday, Jef. You and the boys (the other facets of your personality) should go out for a few dozen drinks to celebrate.

  12. My goodness! Steve wasn't lying...you ARE gorgeous. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  13. Happy to hear that you and your gear are safe and sound. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  14. I'm chuckling here. The only thing is, it all has to be cleaned up eventually. It might be a neat experiment to let your son's room go for a few months and see if he gets sick of trodding over and through all the mounds of mess. I think I'll wait until everyone is passed out on Sunday morning to quietly steal away home.

  15. Oh, and I don't necessarily mind housework...it's just harnessing my attention and marshalling my motivation that wind up being the tricky parts of moving in that direction.

  16. Since we'll be close neighbors inside a tent at Dublin, can I assume you'll feel right at home if I emulate your kids' living habits?

  17. You don't need to buy a probe for that. Yeah, you just mention the weather and how much Sunshine we're getting and he gets all giggly...which is a tad scary, if you know Steve.

  18. Oh man...I can't WAIT to see more of this comic strip! And if it leads to Dublin? Guess I'd better start polishing my eyes up now so they'll be ready. Combine an incredibly cool boogie with an incredibly talented artist and I think I could do a happy dance for ages.

  19. Now THAT is pretty damn funny! Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  20. Ah, say no more...your honor is upheld in that explanation. And I'll need a moment after that. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  21. Weakness is weakness, though I need some clarification on the whole "trombone player" fetish to ensure you remain on the list.

  22. You are officially my favorite person now. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
  23. Damn it! I'll be in that area for a training course the last week of March, but not when you'll be there! Crapsacks!

  24. Perhaps I should wait until I have something more efficient than dail-up (which makes me want to get out and push) before I try this. I'll tell you what, I'll be cannon fodder in the Dublin tourney, if you like.
