A Deflating BLIMPS...lands in a pile of rocks

AO: Phoenix Yesterday morning YHC, back from three weeks of travel and sacking, Q’d Slippery When Wet and tried a new way to inflate a BLIMPS.

Having navigated that course last week - and having vision cast from a recorded phone conference - I quickly saw a plan come together. [Read More]
