Si Si!! jeezus, you bastards are way too good! after danglin around the fishbowl enjoying the marshmellow buffet, Howser made the call to float east. so ronious, howser and i set off from the tit. fun easy going, as cloudbase seemed consistent around 2800. got down to 2k a few times but smooth lift seemed to be all over the place. Howser and c mckeller(on his crispy new pair of panties,,uhhhh) looked like goners at romero but dug it out. A bit past castle Ronious and I dove deep in the crotch for a logical piece of sunshine on the back ridge but were quickly rewarded with a train ticket down. we all the sudden flushed and landed on the backside of snowball and hiked to the top(snowball is the 1700 foot hill behind carp high school). howser soon came cruisin over our heads and headed to carp beach. after hangin at snowball for a while, enjoying the day, and stomping out a launch, we rebooted, climbed to cloudbase and had a sweet glide out to carp beach to join howser for burgers at the Spot. killer day!! thanks to jim for gettin us up the hill and marite for the retrieve!
