Back From The Dead

This past month was a pretty interesting month for me when it came to freeflight. I managed to contract some brutal virus the night before the San Valeers meet and still attempted to fly. I ended up making the fly off's and after secretly creating 2 Vu Doo dolls in the shape of Jim Parker an Don Zink's airplanes I managed to escape as the victor of 2 America's cup contests.I haven't won 2 America's Contests in the past 10 years, so after a prolonged period of prayer and reflection I decided that I really couldn't script a better ending, so I have decided to end my participation in freeflight for the foreseeable future. April Fools anyone?  Actually I was just reading SEN's dating back to 2003 that I had posted in and realized I was a real pain in the butt. So I decided to be a pain in the butt again on SEN as a formal announcement of being back in the sport that I love. Thank you to everyone who has sent me e-mails and well wishes on the flying field. I have missed you all (except for McKeever...He tried to convince me that I contracted the Ebola virus this past contest, and I was so out of it that I started to believe him). I look forward to many more days standing in the middle of a dirt plot and running around in circles with you all. Thank you to all the CD's in advance for giving up your weekends and tolerating grown men running around without shirts on pounding the dirt. See you all in May!....and September....and October...

you get the point.

Squatter

Editor's note

... I believe that Squatter is your father's title, not yours ?  Winning 2 Am Cup event does not give you that ... yet.  Pain or not we're glad to see you back flying and as always appreciate it when you write something for SEN
