Kevin brought his porosity checker and was doing tests on people's wings.

I got tired of waiting and put my stuff on my back and began the hike to the top.

The road can be walked or like me I take the off road paths.

I got to the top and quickly got setup as the winds were working.

I had a rather good flight, short, but still really good. I flew along the ridge all the way north past the old launch, farther than I have flown the ridge before. I had no idea if I could make it all the way to the LZ from my turn around point but I was majorly surprised when I made it.

This was where I turned around and headed back towards the LZ which can just be seen in the left strip of grass. I felt like I was high enough but I also had oodles of landing options if I came up short.

I came in over the quarry at a still good height and I was sure I would make the LZ at this point.

I was super stoked to have enough glide to stomp my feet down in the mowed runway strip.

And I even dropped my wing down on it's trailing edge.

After my flight Kevin emptied stuff out of his truck and drove a load of us back up the hill.

They were talking and watching the winds but it was nearing noon and I had to get in my second flight so I setup and soon was off.

Dumb camera didn't work so no pics but here is the track logs. I had flown out and back and was gliding along the trees next to the LZ when my wing paused and it shot over my head and I went into a a bit of a dive which I rolled with and pulled out of to the right and flew out over the end of the LZ where I got a couple of higher speed turns before a nice smooth landing.

I got packed up quickly and soon was headed for home.

I picked the boys up from school then once home got the trailer hooked up for the grain run I will be doing this morning.

I was out in the garden and I figured it was time to deal with the strawberry area. I grabbed the weedeater and used it to cut the grass and weeds down to soil level. It worked like a charm with the head turned on the side.

The whole area got cut nice and short.

Then I ran the tiller up and down it which drug tons of grass roots up. I have a shit ton of raking to do to remove the roots and I was thinking I might as well stuff tons of potatoes in the area to grow since the potatoes are getting too soft in storage.

I stopped for about 5 minutes on the board and managed a nice double double.

While @stryeyz was at her bible study the boys sat on the couch and read side by side.

Got out to soak later than normal and the boys joined for once.

Then I remembered that I had to close the coop door since in the morning I had noticed they were not out after 7am and when I looked the wire had broken that opens the door. I didn't get to the repair so had to manually close the door. I will go open it in about 20 minutes. I will figure out a fix for it today sometime.

No flying today as the winds are shit so it is a farm day. Mid morning I am going to town to pickup a load of grain and also heading up to the south hill to get the paragliding books I am buying. I will unload the grain, work in the gardens, pickup boys after school, cut grass around the farm, then get a fire going to grill for dinner.
