Patturns Of Highperactivity: Can we get any closer?

OK.. okay... ok..... I was so tempted to cancel the flight this morning last night but didn't because it sounded so fantastic. Sinus headaches and other age degradation's made me hesitate but glad I did..

Thanks to Rory, Joe, Mary, Hannah, Douglas and Freeeed for the crown assist. We went from the ground.. climbed up over another balloon.. down in a spiral and ground tracked up a slight hill.. feeling the rollers of wind ( very light ) eddies. Rising when your not burning and going down when you are... well.. we did a lot of LOPING today. Then since we were not going South enough I cranked the burner up and we headed up at about 900 fpm to grab hold of the South East wind... which worked but from what I could see on the ground we had to slightly fly past the target to the South then drop and go North West on the ground to the target.. Sadly when we got close to the ground the wind has gone away. Oh well, No luck there. We headed up to see if there was anything in between that was going the way we wanted to go.. NOPE.. all East and fast ( 20 mph ). Dropped out of that and then saw this nice park...grass...wooo... Radioed to the crew and popped back up to get over the park... Dropped back out at 800fpm and landed just outside the green due to a funny acting breeze. All good though. The crew taxi'ed me to the grass.. then onto the tarmack of the parking lot as the grass was.. WET!!... Oh well.. go try.. great flight... Fantastic video and lots of pictures from friends...

When we go home after a sweet tailgate it was rest, meds, dump videos and pics and edit one video which I think if great too. Here are a few that I took and edited a bit..

Up and off and chasing the 49 other balloons... WAIT UP!!
