I am going to pass until conditions become a little more sane - I gotta give my brain a rest from getting smashed around inside my skull. The next day there are steady winds I'll be out for sure. The other day was alright but just too sketchy - not steady enough for a larger kite and not strong enough for a smaller kite. I'll see you soon enough though - I'm sure of it.

Today was the most fun I had in awhile. I was starting to forget why I liked doing this and today I was reminded. It was gusty of course, but I have come to expect it (not like it, but expect it). I was finally able to get some good runs in with my well tuned buggy (thanks jellis) and a harness. What a difference a harness makes. I can actually enjoy myself instead of being in pain the whole time. A word of advise to any new / soon to be buggy riders get used to flying with a harness before you get the bug not after like I did.

Is today sane enough for ya? 28mph gusting to 40!! Sweet! Flat wind is a must. Flying in these gusty conditions is crazy. Power on off ripping through the turns then slow in the straights then bang power again. It is hard to get use to.:borg:

I got a call from Doug yesterday, I guess it was pretty nice out there.

I wish I could have joined you guys, but it was a full day with the family for me.

Whenever you guys go out though, shout out to me if you can remember. I can't wait to get that first good run back and forth. :)
