[MT-ALES] the great escape

[Peter]

That’s a great story Carl. Glad to see you are having fun with a DLG too. I’m wanting to dabble in that myself but at the rate things are going it will be a race against the great white sprinkler! LOL

Stay healthy.

So I was throwing the Snipe this afternoon and really having fun.  The breeze was light and there were a few thermals coming through that the bird could climb in easily.  Great, right?  On the dot of 3:00 I heard a clunk, then a whine of a pump starting……I was being charged by the great water spitting iron dragon!  I kept flying for another 1/2 hour, advancing further out into the field with each launch.  Then I noticed that the end of the line was nearing the point where there was alfalfa growing outside the pivot arc.  Ut oh!!!!  The end nozzles were going to come on!  Yikes!!!!  I grabbed the radio and Snipe and lit out down the pivot line, rounding the end shortly before the big guns on the end activated.  Whew!  Lots of excitement!!!!
