So, what did you do today?

While not technically what I did today, but my 15 year old son William has been busy getting his glider pilot's license. See link.

Next month he starts learning to drive a car, then I will be nervous.

Anyone beside Corey and I know what the yarn is for?

Airflow/stall indicator...? Low tech. If it's flopping around it means you are too far nose up?

It’s for knitting while you wait for someone to pick you up because you missed the last thermal back to the airport.

It's called a yaw string or slip string. It measures sideslip angle. It was the first heads up display.

I did a tour of a glider museum last week and they guide started to explain and blurted "slip angle"... he asked if I flew and I said "only in a car"... ;-)

Went to a great game last night.
Apparently the guys in black won....
OU - Baylor

Baylor is scary good this year!!!
We are heading to the Tech / K-State game this weekend. I hope there is no cow smell in Lubbock this weekend...

I was directly across from you. What a great game.

I really did not think Baylor's defense was as good as they are. I'm a little worried about Tevin Reese and Lache Seastrunk.

Doesn't Lubbock always smell? Good luck this weekend!
