I am envious of you guys. As some of you know, I am in Chicago looking after my 92 year old mother while my sister is visiting Seattle in preparation to become a gandmother.
Yesterday would have been a magnificent soaring day here in the Chicago area. Perfect CUs, in streets. I was in agony thinking about how good a day it was and me stuck on the ground. Cloud bases were about 6000+ ft. I knew you guys were probably having a good day. I'm sure you thermal hogs will use up all the good lift before I'm back in Dansville in November.
Safe Soaring,
Chuck
