Power Kite Forum

You Know you have a Kite addiction when....

riffclown - 26-11-2013 at 01:47 PM

The UPS Delivery person knocks on the door and says "Another Kite?!" (True Story)

The UPS Delivery guy delivers to your lunchtime flying location instead of home because "He knew where you were" (Threatened by the UPS driver. He's actually a pretty cool guy.)

You have 4 or more of the exact same kite "for stacking"

The local Kite dealer gives you a special price due to all of the referrals

The locals call you the "Kite Guy"

We did a thread like this a little while back

You know you're an addict when you buy a otter box for your iPhone that matches the color scheme of your favorite kite.

You know you're addicted to kites when you remember what's been posted on the Power Kite Forum a LONG time ago!

I was going to say when every extra dollar goes to kite stuff now instead of new door knobs for the bedrooms and bathrooms. Guide rods for the kitchen drawer that's been broke forever, and the back gutter that needs a new downspout.

And, my post master now knows that backpacks are what new kites come in. Not for kid's school books. LOL

WELDNGOD - 26-11-2013 at 04:02 PM

...when you have more than several thousand posts to PKF. :ninja:

riffclown - 26-11-2013 at 04:03 PM

When you buy a new backpack for your kite...The old one just wasn't big enough..

WELDNGOD - 26-11-2013 at 04:07 PM

I don't know what you're talking about...

riffclown - 26-11-2013 at 04:11 PM

When nearly everyone in your office has bought a kite now or is intending to..

WELDNGOD - 26-11-2013 at 04:48 PM

When you have an entire spare bedroom to store your kite stuff in. And you still have a kitebuggy in the kitchen.:D

riffclown - 26-11-2013 at 04:52 PM

When the ONLY times you've been to the local beach are to fly kites.

WELDNGOD - 26-11-2013 at 04:54 PM

THAT is the ONLY good reason to go to Va Beach.

riffclown - 26-11-2013 at 05:03 PM

You win. Can't disagree with you there.

flyhighWNY - 26-11-2013 at 05:11 PM

when discgolf seems "Not worth the hassle" when wind is over 8mph

shehatesmyhobbies - 26-11-2013 at 05:16 PM

When you can guess within 2mph what the wind is with out pulling out the wind meter!

When you had to buy a trailer to get all the stuff out of the dining room and shed so your wife doesn't make you sleep outside.


martinipro - 26-11-2013 at 05:18 PM

^ When your forum name is shehatesmyhobbies

3shot - 26-11-2013 at 05:33 PM

Oh my Lordy!! I am ROFL at some of these posts LOLOLOL.

I agree Donnie. It's certainly not to play in the clean water of VA beaches!!!

riffclown - 26-11-2013 at 05:38 PM

We need to discuss your definition of "clean"

That's a whole nuther' topic. LOL

Back OT. Every time you mention, or talk about a certain kite, your wife automatically thinks its the new one you want and ends the discussion :(

Because the kite buggy in the kitchen is the most comfortable seat in the house!

csa_deadon - 27-11-2013 at 09:31 AM

When you have to trade in your truck for a bigger truck with a larger load capacity for your gear.

Then have to buy an enclosed cargo trailer, because the new truck wasn't big enough!

csa_deadon - 27-11-2013 at 09:39 AM

When your physical therapist gears your therapy for a non-kite related injury around your "Kite hobby!"

riffclown - 27-11-2013 at 12:47 PM

If your therapist asks for kiting tips.

mainekite2 - 27-11-2013 at 01:48 PM

I have a question. When you plan Thanksgiving(or any other day) around the tides and wind report is that a problem?

I don't have a problem with it just asking for signs:o:o

riffclown - 27-11-2013 at 01:55 PM

When you sleep in the buggy 'cause there's no room for the bed..

3shot - 27-11-2013 at 02:00 PM

When you officially realize there is never an end in sight for kites and equipment :embarrased:

riffclown - 28-11-2013 at 09:49 AM

The kites you really want aren't made any more.. AND that's OK..

Your clothes are wrinkled but your kites aren't

You've been Buggy Bow Hunting..

Your car is covered in snow because the buggy owns the garage

WELDNGOD - 28-11-2013 at 10:24 AM

When you are cleaning and repacking bearings for your buggy on Thanksgiving day, while smokin' a turkey on the grill:D.

rectifier - 28-11-2013 at 01:45 PM

When it's a beautiful warm fall day and you're the only one walking around with a scowl, muttering to yourself "the snow is melting... The ice is melting!"

Bladerunner - 28-11-2013 at 06:33 PM

When you are interviewing for a new work position and they are pleased to hear you are open to working nights because you can ride the afternoon thermals that alluded me with regular 8 - 4 hours.

That was my life today. Funny but not so funny. :(

It is Thanksgiving and I am Thankful to still have some kind of job knowing so many of my new friends out East are struggling to find employment .

riffclown - 28-11-2013 at 06:36 PM

Just trying to "Complete the Quiver"

3shot - 28-11-2013 at 07:23 PM

When your "new" kites are old-school kites!

riffclown - 28-11-2013 at 07:28 PM

When you post here ...on THANKSGIVING!!! :wee:

This is my favorite so far

shortlineflyer - 29-11-2013 at 12:15 PM

when you get a disc golf disc called the kite as your first one.

riffclown - 29-11-2013 at 04:31 PM

Well ... You just KNOW... :)

This about sums it up!

riffclown - 29-11-2013 at 05:46 PM

If you are headed out with a friend and someone has to ride "in" the buggy because the seats are taken by the kites...

snowspider - 29-11-2013 at 06:13 PM

When you do statistcal analysis of goose poop per square feet at a kite location and it provides useful data to others (me) on the forum. (see "locations and conditions")

WELDNGOD - 29-11-2013 at 06:42 PM

If you need a "crapometer" to ride @ a given location... :lol::lol:
