Pre Flytec

So after much humming and hawing ( <-- is that a word?), I decided to go to Florida. You could say that I was a little frustrated not having made the World team, but so be it. Texas is hot and you are in the middle of nowhere with the only form of entertainment being the 24hr Wal-Mart. So it isn't the greatest spot to hang out, but I still wanted to go. I have decided to go back to what I know best. Paragliding. Heading for the Rat Race comp in Oregon in June and will be doing the Nationals in Golden in August. Should be a good time, although, I don't know if I remember how to fly one.

Brett went and got himself a job, so I will have to find a new buddy to go with to the Groveland gas station at midnight to get Almond Hersey chocolate bars and orange juice. I guess the habits will have to change this year. Brett will have to find a new buddy to go to Wal-Mart with him in Texas at around mid-night for pineapple fruit snacks and Almond Hershey bars. Well that and aimlessly wandering around the place in search of something interesting to buy and look at.

I should be picking up the latest and greatest in Florida. A Litespeed RS4, with every option you can order. Carbon sprogs, carbon battens, carbon outboards, carbon basetube, carbon inserts ( <-- on back order!), Zoom frame, and a smoke inlaid sail. This glider should weight 7lbs less than a standard Litespeed RS4 with the Zoom control frame.

So last night, I decided that all the sweat from last year's Flytec meet and from the Pre-Worlds needed to be removed from my harness. I stomped on it in the bathtub with half a cup of Tide HE detergent. It smells fresh now and is drying in my bathtub. Hopefully, it will dry in time in this rainy weather we are having in Calgary. If not, it is going to be nice and soggy flying for a couple of days... haha

I will post pics of the harness in the tub later tonight.
