No Boss, that's not a kite hanging up in the back of the weld shop, it's a welding curtain;) I thought I would die laughing when I told him that.
Left work early yesterday to go get some onshore blow, kites got wet cause of rain, so I could not put them out to dry. So I took them to work and hung them up in the back of the weld shop.
Don't freak out, I was welding elsewhere in the building all day. But you should have seen the odd looks from engineers and office people who walked by the door.

My coworkers have long since given up on me. The two larger kites are 9 and 10 foot dual lines. In a small office, they look huge and crowd the ceiling.

My office mate had left early that day, so I set them up on her side :saint:

UPS delivered the kites, shortly after she left, so I took that as a sign :rolleyes: :singing:

That is so nice for you to bond with your kite at your place of business- kinda like bringing a child to the work place. Hopefully that kite is picking up the trade and starts paying you back for all the cash and time you vested in it. I gotta bring in a couple of my arcs and teach them to do some sculpting. Lazy ass kites skate by doing nothing but taking and taking from us. Put em to work!

yeah one of the companies I work for in HK is an outdoor adventure / summer camp kinda outfit, with an equipment storage right on the beach i fly at most... I keep all my kites there if I'm not in Canada or traveling somewhere... Sometimes I have to hang them up to dry there, but I call around first to make sure the boss won't show up as he goes ballistic! Everybody else is cool with them, I get them flying every chance I get so they don't mind as long as they don't have to do a big gear pull / camp set-up with my kite junk in the way...

edit... man those kites look gorgeous! ...esp. the century!
