Where is the center of gravity of the empty glider located?

If you measure the location of the main wheel and tail wheel (reference to something such as the glider's nose), and the weight each of them carry...you can do the math to answer that question.

Where is the center of gravity when the pilot is in the glider?

Climb in, and then take the same measurements.

Now I know if I need to add trim weights to the nose or tail, and how much.

Determining center of gravity location is critical for safety of flight and good handling characteristics. I'll do these measurements and math more than once so I can be very confident of the results.

1200-ton railroad bridge over Cape Cod canal, Buzzard's Bay, Mass. [ca. 1910]

The Cape Cod Canal is an artificial waterway in Massachusetts connecting Cape Cod Bay in the north to Buzzards Bay in the south, and is part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The approximately 7.4-mile-long (11.9 km) canal traverses the neck of land joining Cape Cod to the state's mainland. It mostly follows tidal rivers widened to 480 feet (150 m) and deepened to 32 feet (9.8 m) at mean low water, shaving up to 135 miles (217 km) off the journey around the cape for its approximately 14,000 annual users.

Chatting with the family's Catholic matriarch about her Christmas mass plans.

Catholic service is physically demanding for old folks, with its repetitive standing up, sitting down, kneeling.

So, of course, I had to sidle up to the speaker phone and go "yes, it is crossfit".
