Hey Tom, thanks! =)

I wanted to clarify tho-- it wasn't my *first* thermal action at the training hill. My *best* flight at the training hill was a 30+ minutes long with Chad and 6 or so others when the hill was "going off" during a 1-1.5 hour time period last year. (In the end, our playtime ended with last few down top-landing, skipping/ flying backwards). At that, when I have done a little thermalling at Elings, it begins with an excellent cycle and is all about 'up' beginning with the launch. I recognize I'm no thermal-genius, so I was pleasantly surprised that on an average day I was able to casually putz my way down the face and near the bottom take the elevator back up! I've seen the "Big Boys" ie. advanced pilots pull this kind of thing off on a regular basis, but until yesterday it has eluded me.
