!!! Who keeps taking our winds? !!!

So, I SWEAR that at 1:00 this afternoon Saturday's forecast was for 10-11 knots noon to night. Now? Gone. No wind at all. Gone gone gone.

Sure a week out, any forecast is optimistic at best but c'mon!

:mad:

I am the same way, dude. All day I sit in my office and hear a flag outside flipping in the wind and everyday as I drive home it starts dying fast. It is a race to fly before it is gone. :Ange09:

whenever i have a chance to fly and it's flying outside i am RUSHING to get out there. Running through the house, grabbing my things and OUT the door. I have an anxiety attacking because I dont' want it to die before I drive out there. :rolleyes:

Just got back from a couple hours on the Scorp, nice 15 mph winds and away we go.

Sorry I think it was either me or someone else in the PNW area because its been blowing here in the 20's to 30's for the last 5 days. I've made it out in 3 of the last 4 days too :wee:


neener neener :P
