I got the mussels, which I wasn't wild about, but Jon's mahi and shrimp combo was awesome. Thanks again Jon!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249789335111913420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-41363568836062114012009-08-30T07:42:43.172-10:002009-08-30T07:42:43.172-10:00Thom, some flying days inspire a long story, and s...Thom, some flying days inspire a long story, and some don't. It was a definitely a great day of flying for lots of folks. Maybe someone else can remember some details of the day that were memorable for them and add them here.<br /><br />One detail I'm trying to forget is how I kited my wing after landing, over to the grassy spot next to the picnic tables, like I usually do, but this time the wing scraped the tree as it fell to the ground because I was a bit too close. Turns out there was a rusty nail in the tree that ripped the top surface in two spots. Luckily Jorge and Ray were there with tools and expertise to help me repair it on the spot. We had to anesthetize the patient first though, with a couple of bottles of strong alcohol. Or maybe that was for me. Anyway, it's good as new now - thanks guys!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249789335111913420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-30978255257585102762009-08-30T06:34:30.254-10:002009-08-30T06:34:30.254-10:009-5 and this is the whole story you must be workin...9-5 and this is the whole story you must be working too hard.
