Thank you tag fairy for visiting us - we are very lucky
its a pity I was asleep, but then again dont fairies come when your asleep?
One year, I realized that we wouldn't be going to Yosemite, so I made a spur-of-the moment decision & booked a night at Curry Village. We left Friday night at 1:30am (or Sat morning), and got to the top of Glacier Point at 7:30am. We got there in time to watch the hand gliders prepare to take off near the geological hut. That was so cool to see. Went home Sunday afternoon, and I think we got home around 3am or so. It was a great weekend, but, boy, by Wednesday I crashed (it was worth it though).We live about 90 minutes away. If that. And can you believe that Mother's Day was our first trip? You just need a weekend. Drive up here on Friday night, stay in the big valley (San Joaquin). Then drive in early sat morning. If you can wait a few years, they are building a new Hilton close to me. You could stay there friday night.
My MIL back yard is Joshua Tree NF. We finally went there at Christmas a few years ago. Great time to go, weather is perfect, and the snakes are all asleep. So if anyone is ever in SoCal around Christmas and wants to see some cool trees and great desert flowers, head over there. Also great if you want to go camping in the winter. Night gets cool, but the days are pretty warm. (around 75 or 80)
Of course... perhaps you think you will be alone with your family at any time to enjoy a quite family moment,or a sip of bubbly without the NEW Porters????? NO WAY!!!!Great One!!!!!!
Too Hot To Handle!!!! That goes to the top of the list!!!!!!!
Andrew......Thanks for arranging the Pisa reservations.. we have very little time to study the principals of flight.. so anyone joining the
Propeller Pisa Flight Group...... please study the following....
The Forces of Flight
Maintaining a steady flight requires a balance, often described as an equilibrium of all the forces acting upon an airplane. Weight, lift, thrust and drag are the acting forces on an airplane. Assuming a straight and level flight, lift must be equal to weight and drag must be equal to thrust. This is what happens if this equilibrium is violated:
If lift becomes greater than weight, then the propeller will accelerate upward.
If the weight is greater than the lift, then the propeller will accelerate downward.
When the thrust becomes greater than the drag, the propellerwill accelerate forward.
If drag becomes greater than the thrust a deceleration will occur.
Acceleration is best explained by using Newton's Second Law of Motion.
Morning everyone. Quickly popping in w/some updated lists.

Ok- serious question.. does anyone have those hydration backpacks I've been looking- its a backpack with a water storage bag, and a long straw thing. Jimmy says it will be too heavy to carry, and the water has no way of keeping cool... If anyone has one or has tried one, please let me know if it is worth the expense and the weight. thanks
And here I thought she/he was on Florida coast time... (there is a he fairy, too)
Congratulations.Wow - Just friday we were talking about 200 or so posts to 10000, and now you guys have posted 800 posts. Did you guys do nothing over the weekend?
DH worked on Saturday. Today is our 13th Anniversary, we celebrated by mowing the lawns yesterday. Actually we have been planning for our trip south next weekend. The boys are going to spend a few weeks with Grandma. Jon will fly down to Palm Springs on the 14th to pick them up.
The worst part is 450 miles each way, and i don't even get to see a sign that says Anaheim on it. We are going to leave Sunday afternoon to come back.
Well - I have lots of work to do today, and perhaps later i can ketchup.
I see some new tags, they look great. i will have to get out my doc and start adding them.
