Nick, heard you flew today. How was it? How many flights did you have? Who else was out there and what time did you get to the field? Heard it was a nice day. I was supposed to have it off, but had to work. How's the plane handling? What about Thursday, are you in and are you going to Twin Falls?

I went to a fun fly a few weeks ago. All the way to eastern wa to watch you and Kyle sit around like hippies. Now John didnt sit around like a hippy. He was a hippy. Short haired hippy. @#!#*)I hate hippies!! Kidding John. Cartman hates hippies. Not me.
So after that display of lazyness I am not going to anymore far away fun flies. Nothing worse then seeing talent sprawled out in the grass like spilled paint.

Ya I am kidding. But I cant go to Zilla. Got to stay here and work. You guys have fun. We will have fun too in the 80 degree weekend weather. Should break a hundred at Zilla this weekend.
Dont forget to bring a towel. Always bring a towel in case you need to dry off after goin swimming. Rainman, thanks for the encouraging words you put up here for us all. And the help you are giving me. Cant wait to put it in the air! Video is a great tool.

Ya, 6 flights. It was fabuleous!! Slight north wind, perfect for landing from the "SOUTH" lol. The only other guy's flying were Bob Bailey & Son. Earl stopped by and Dave Villwock & Ryan Winslow met there so Dave could buy Ryan's trailer but they didn't fly. My plane seems to be flying better the more practice I get. Funny, how that works. No Twin falls for me again this year. too far & too much $. I'm trying to drum up some business. I have several good jobs I'm bidding on & have to tend to that. I'm planning on supporting Surrey for their first IMAC event, then Zillah hopefully. FLY ON

I should have brought a plane, now it's freaking raining.

I'd love to go to the first Surrey, and I actually have the weekend off, but I wouldn't have a class to fly in. Don't worry though you hosers, I will be up for the next Surrey later this season! Looking forward to that one, especially as I haven't been to a Canadian contest yet.

Darrin, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just heard Dave V. bought Ryans trailer. Thiis could spell misery for your quest for Tucson. You need to fly EVERY contest and practice your sequence and only a little freestyle! He is dialed in and if he wants to win, then it'll be hard to beat him.

He will probably fly Pattern while the Oly contest is going. This might give you the opportunity to 'one up" him. Good luck Pal...

Nick, sounds as if you have it goin on.... good practice session. I hope you get the bids on the jobs. I know what it is like to need business. Keep perservering buddie, good things will break for you.

Sleeping Beauty...., have you ever heard of getting business out of the way.... BEFORE you start partying ? You will have so much time to goof off.... what about PRACTICING. I mean, you might actually win a contest or two here cause nobody else is practicing up here, however; What will then happen in Tucson.....? That's right a repeat performance of last year . Dude, the reason these guys WHO FLY IN Tucson are so good is because THEY PAY THE PRICE and PRACTICE>>>>>PRACTICE>>>>PRACTICE! I doubt if any of them enter a contest and then take off to PARTY AND DROP OUT! Buddy, let that be someone else.....NOT YOU!!!!!!

THIS IS A WAKE-UP CALL!!!!!!!!! PARTY LATER....AFTER THE SEASON....PRACTICE DURING THE SEASON..... ELSE, WHEN IT COMES TO WINNING, SOMEONE WILL RAIN ON YOUR PARADE! SUTTLE MESSAGE... love you man...

Jerry, sounds like your first contest is gonna rock. It is allot of work, but well worth the effort. You are going to have a blast!

Jose.....are you going to fly IMAC this year? Think of it like riding a bull, without getting thrown off.... that should get you going.

Keith, how's the plane going? What will be your next contest?

Next week everyone..... TWIN FALLS..... BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!

Hea Ryan..Sorry about Restricting the May contest, but we are all very new up here in the Imac Scene. Basic class will most likely be very popular at our first event. Seeing how we just had a Judging Seminar last Saturday.

I'll make it up to you!!!! I'll see you in Zilla.

Jerry

The problem is DA wont be getting any motors for a few weeks cause of aprts. they say 77$ for shipping, but ill probably jsut get it from PAU since they are distributing and its easy to pick up. jsut across the border.

Haha rainman, you know what my philosophy is? "Don't think, drink!"
I've just been really busy with school projects, finals, tuning the car up, and karate.
I've also been trying to learn Japanese as I have some friends living over in Japan and I am trying to plan for a trip sometime soon.
so flying, only at the moment, has taken the backseat
