So, yesterday was yet another day of non-flying.

Three separate times I got the motor on my back and was ready to take off, yet the wind gods frowned.

In the morning, the wind died down instead of picking up (low pressure system just off coast killed us).

In the afternoon there were a few gusts, and we were going to try...but to no avail.

Around 5pm, we upped stakes and went to another site that we hoped had a better situation, but another thunderstorm in the mountains was causing the wind to be highly variable, and caused the site we were using to be over-crowded. For someone going up for only the second time, I decided it was above my skill and pulled my own plug. Just wasn’t right.

I’m beginning to feel the passing of days now. Today is Wednesday, and due to an impending “major thunderstorm” that is due to hit Saturday and Sunday, there’s really only 2 more days of flying.

Time’s-a-wasting! Friday, Saturday, Sunday no flying, Monday morning, one flight, and since then no flying. Very frustrating!
