Pattern Fun

[ronlock]

Bob,

Yup, it's the Super Tigre's fault.   <G>
It went sooooo high in that Humpty with Options, (3rd maneuver in
Masters pattern) that durring the long down line, I got concerned
that I had forgotten to do an element.  So I put in a half roll.  Oops!
Then had to put in another one to be upright for the upcoming
slow roll.  Had plenty of room for both of them.  The judges
however,  showed no interest in the innovation.    <VBG>
