Gliding season 2008

The whole season of 2008 can be rendered into this movie of my friends. nJoy!

International measurements

How many pubs there are in a mile?
How many pubs there are in a kilometer?
I often have to translate in my head ft, m, km/h, kt, NM, SM and others. Why do americans and brits have more pubs in their default distance mesure unit? I suggest to unify both systems and not to allow to be more than lets say 10 pubs in a mile, and the same in old continent and all other developed continents - 10 pubs per kilometer.
"Lets go to the Pub" - now you dont care where are you: UK, US or Europe (or other developed continents). I need a drink... where is the SPACE BAR?

Mr. Santa

I now know what its like to be Santa. I was there. Actually, not to confuse you, i was flying today. I was sitting in a glider, in my country it's deep autumn. And i saw that! I was flying at about 400 meters (1200 feet) and saw when snow dropped out of the cloud. That cloud came from north and i could see it touching ground 10 kilometers away from me. The snowflakes flew down like bees, in a long column. I hit it, its not wide, about 10-15 meters. For a few seconds windshield was covered with snow. Good feeling. Now i know what its like to be Santa, its not the presents and letters from children, its that feeling, when you see where snow comes from...

Lost and Found

Ain't It The Life
Ain't It The Life
Ain't It The Life
Got no crime

Thats my bass theme for this evening. Still happy and learning.

Today i did my first single cross-country. It was short and in the near reagions from airfield. It was the happyest moments of this year. I was all on my own, well it was a two-seater L-13, but the second chair was empty. Woohooo, gliding is so much fun. The picture was made this summer, the same place, same following glider like today. Its almost winter, but the day was perfect. Still repeating the momens of flight in my mind.

Why lost and found? Two weeks ago we where drinking whiskey from a shower handle. Its a piece of plastic, perfect sized shot with a screw in it. Last week we did this again. But someone has stolen our amazing one-shooter handle. This morning i was walking around with a headache, and found that thing in the grass. A few meters away i found a SIM card that one girl lost three weeks ago. She was so happy.

And one more thing: its goood to have someone to share candys with. Think about it ;)
