I check the weather report for today and see calm winds all day so naturally I leave the kite at home. Now I find myself staring out the window at work only to see trees dancing in smooth 12-14 mph winds. I don't like you Murphy!

You never leave home without your kites .... now thats Dakitez Rule #1!

I just took my buggy and kites out of my truck( in a locked truck cover of course), for the first time since ummmmmmm February! Gotta load them back in before the weekend though. Good winds to all!!!!

Dakitez is correct!! a ROOKIE you are!! but dont worry,just throw a bunch in the car for next time!! i always carry about 10 different ones for all wind conditions,so i am never dissappointed.......

I have yet to take the scorpion off my back.... you should see the looks I get when I walk into work and sit down at my desk. . .

everyone at work is used to seeing the PL pack on my back....I walked in today and they looked at me like I had 10 heads when they didnt see it today....lesson learned :smilegrin:

I don't follow murphy!!! I subscribe to rileys law. Riley states that Murphy was an optimist :lol::lol:

hey mougl--i'll tell you of another rookie mistake i made for almost a year before i recently corrected it and here it is: DONT BELIEVE THE FORECASTS!!!!!yesterday was supposed to be really calm(like 3 mph all day long)--i decided to check out my site anyways just fer kicks and woulkdnt ya know 10-15 steady,gorgeous winds and its happened before too--so i just take the forecasts around here with a grain of salt.....:singing:

I always have kites in the car. You never know when you want to fly during lunch instead of eat during lunch.

Work close to home that way your kite does not take the FL heat in the car and you can grab a quik bite on the way out to fly.

Mougl we looked at you like you had 10 heads if you had the kite or not.:lol:
