I was thinking back on the things I've achieved in my life, and flying a glider solo must rate right up at the top. ![Cool 8)](/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Second only to getting married to Ria. ![Love :love:](/Smileys/default/Love.gif) It took me a long time to get there and the primary training was in a in a Sedbergh T.21 with the two seats side by side. The secondary training and the glider I flew solo was in a Kirby cadet Mk.3 ![Tears of joy :'-)](/Smileys/default/crazy.gif) The solo flight was just a single circuit and couldn't have lasted more than a few minutes, but it was wonderful ![Love :love:](/Smileys/default/Love.gif) These types of glider were used from 1950 right up until just after I flew solo in 1984. ![Mind Blown :poof:](/Smileys/default/Mind_Blown.gif)

When it comes to memorable achievements I can think of 4 careerwise but a most recent achievement was when Ria told me that I've been like a brother to her and Sammi. That's one of the nicest compliments I've ever had ![Love :love:](/Smileys/default/Love.gif)

One truly memorable achievement was when I showed a crew from my local power company, Florida Power & Light, that I was able to wire a 3phase transformer bank, man were they surprised!

As an average teenage most of what I do doesn't seem to really be an achievement, but what i do consider one was when last summer i spent 6 hours with a family friend wiring and installing outlets and the electrical boxes to then install a few under cabinet lights. ![Bulb Man :bulbman:](/Smileys/default/bulbmanicon.png)

My most memorable achievement was meeting up with another collector from Lighting-Gallery last month. I met rlshieldjr and at the meet got a few items. This was the first time I’ve ever met in person with someone who is in the same hobby. Some of the stuff I got is posted in my gallery. It was a really good meet.

Always good to meet people face to face, sadly there aren't any other LG members in this area, the nearest is 100 miles away ![Undecided :-\](/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)
