Whatado evraybody, whatado.
I had a number of errands to run on Wednesday and by the time I got home I was trashed, but I still needed to get my groceries in the house. I pulled up in the driveway and opened the car door. Then I heard radio transmissions and some guy yelling, “over here”. I wriggle myself out of the car and see red flashing lights up on the road. The QRU is responding to a call. I see my neighbor’s wife trucking up the hill towards them. The guy is still hollering, and I have no fucking idea what is going on.
So, I started getting my groceries in house so I can collapse and get caught up later. Folks seemed to have whatever the situation is well in hand, so I’ll stay out the way. I took a look out the front window, but I didn’t see anything obviously wrong.
I called my neighbor about an hour later and he told me that some guy in a glider crashed into the lake out in front of his place. He had drifted north past my house, and I kept looking to the south, not knowing any better. The Search & Rescue folks launched a boat to tow the plane somewhere safer.
Apparently, the guy just stood up in his plane as it slowly drifted along, like some boat captain on review.
