Another smooth flight from the Blue Blazer.  Angled the rod into the wind a bit to try and cut down on the recovery walk.  Straight and quick off the rod.  Arcing over at the top of the climb, still nose up at ejection.  Good chute, moderate amount of drift.  Grass landing in the cow pasture, no damage.
