Got my fix today...

No work scheduled today, and conditions looked pretty good for at least one glider hop. One of the tow pilots said he might be around in the morning, so I threw my tools and a change of clothes (in case I got a service call) and headed down to 47N.
As it turned out, when I arrived at around 11AM he was still at home, and wouldn't be coming to the airport after all. Texted the others; another responded that he too was unable,

You still have the knack for telling a good story. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

This illustrates one drawback with gliding. It's an all-day thing. Unless you have plenty of time to spare don't even think about it.
