Left t' pad leanin' heavily t' t' left and behind t' pad. It was actually in danger o' either hittin' t' road or landin' on t' softball field, either o' which would have been fatal. Ahoy! At ejection it had been pointin' down for some time and t' elastic shock cord snapped. Well, blow me down! T' "nose cone" disappeared over t' softball complex while t' body flew out into traffic, then turned around and glided t' a landin' in t' gravel parkin' lot. Avast! Lots o' damage, me hearties, t' worst o' which be t' loss o' t' nose cone. Avast, me proud beauty! This one is done, me hearties, but I finally got a good flight out o' it.
