Skipped work to sit outside looking like a lost puppy waiting for the FedEx truck to show up???? Ok it's my first one, but still, lol. :wee:

All my kites are delivered to my office. All the UPS delivery guys know me on sight and by first name. They recognize all my packages too. :no:

There's something to be said for setting up a framed kite with a 14ft wingspan in the office, draping a small/medium foil over the conference room, or laying out a larger foil on the floor of the unoccupied wing of the offices.

The stoke is understandable. Depending on where you are, today could be a good fly day.

A bad day (for my whimpering wallet) at the previous office:

... during my spectrum/rainbow phase.

Left to right: ITW Goliath, Prism Gen I Ozone, Eliot Mirage XL.

Soooooo.... whatcha gettin... and did you remember to get something for the significant other to distract her? ;)

No significant other to distract other than the little one who should be more then entertained enough watching me for a while, lol. Prism Tensor 5.0 is on its way :D

:o Were?!?! Still sweet. The sunset of the Prism Elite line and some of the older kites were a sad thing.

:thumbup: To Mr. McNeil's 61/49 doing a long banking glide in dead air too... much sweetness there.

Got a Scubadoo from Rob (Banks).... bad influence... should be interesting on days where the grass refuses to stir.
