In fact I broke of part of a vertebrae. Guess that has me immobilized quite a bit. Fortunately the stay in the hospital wasn't too long and I am back home but it appears that it will take 4 to 6 weeks of rest. Guess that gives me ample opportunity to catch up on my WinFx study.</div> <div> </div> <div id="CSBloggerSig"><div>Maurice de Beijer</div> <div><a href="http://www.TheProblemSolver.nl">www.TheProblemSolver.nl</a></div> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=125922" width="1" height="1">Paraglidinghttp://msmvps.com/blogs/theproblemsolver/archive/2006/04/17/91385.aspxMon, 17 Apr 2006 03:49:00 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:91385Maurice3http://msmvps.com/blogs/theproblemsolver/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=91385http://msmvps.com/blogs/theproblemsolver/archive/2006/04/17/91385.aspx#comments<div>Yesterday I went paragliding on the Beach near Amsterdam for the first time :-) Took a few tries to get airborne as the start is quite different but once I was up there I had a great time.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><img title="http://msmvps.com/photos/theproblemsolver/picture91384.aspx" alt="Paragliding on the beach" src="http://www.theproblemsolver.nl/images/P1010251.JPG"></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div id="CSBloggerSig"><div>Maurice de Beijer</div> <div><a href="http://www.TheProblemSolver.nl">www.TheProblemSolver.nl</a></div> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=91385" width="1" height="1">Paraglidinghttp://msmvps.com/blogs/theproblemsolver/archive/2006/03/19/86896.aspxSun, 19 Mar 2006 17:23:44 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:86896Maurice0http://msmvps.com/blogs/theproblemsolver/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=86896http://msmvps.com/blogs/theproblemsolver/archive/2006/03/19/86896.aspx#comments<div>Its been a while with the long and miserable winter but finally I got some air time again :-) The weather was actually surprisingly nice with a lot of sunshine.

I was in the market for a new glider and I had a number of test flights on the Airwave Sport 3 and I really like it :-) Guess I am no longer in the market as I have one on order now. Now all I have to do is wait for good weather and the next trip to France<br><br>Maurice de Beijer<br><a href="http://www.TheProblemSolver.nl">www.TheProblemSolver.nl</a><br><br><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=83560" width="1" height="1">Paragliding
