Ben Dunn's here and Ricker Goldsborough. Apparently they are here
because here is where it is happening. They could be down in Luling with Joel
Froehlch, but they want to be where the action is.

Looking at the cumulus cloud forecast I decided that Monday was a better day to
try for the record, so just went over to Chris Zimmerman's to help out. Chris,
Ben and Ricker were going to fly their high performance gliders.

Ben got bumped off at 600' AGL, came in 300' over Chris' house and then climbed
out only to land a few kilometers to the north in Weir. Ricker let go at 1,100'
after suffering on tow and not too much later landed back at Chris'.

Chris had a decent tow and was high when we left to take Ben's truck to him. He
might have had a chance to fly again.

The cloud base forecast for Monday looks good. The cu's here were much longer
lasting than on Saturday but there was a lot of cirrus just on our southern edge
that appeared to be killing the lift in that direction (not that we could go
that way).  There were plenty of cloud streets and cu's to our north, but I
was concerned that it would last.

Looks like it didn't:

What the cloud street looked like this morning:
