Sunday 4 May 08. Very windy at Crestline. I helped a couple HG’s launch and that left only Randy and me. I waited till his back was turned and then I snuck up and asked him if he would help me launch before he could ask anything similar. This was a shameless and very much planned maneuver. (Rationalization: I’m an old man with one foot in the grave and he’s a vibrant young whippersnapper with his whole life ahead of him.) After he launched me I saw he had to wait the better part of an hour before someone came along and helped him get off the mountain. Thanks Randy. I owe you a six pack buddy.
