Well here goes another year without purchasing a new kite (arc). Montana gonna have to fly another season. Xmas bonus sucked. Went from a 5 paycheck bonus last year to a single paycheck bonus this year. Last year used the money to remodel. This year money is xmas shop for other people. Oh well. Can't be greedy others are worse off than my whining about a new kite.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Bummer, I hope you can find/fund and arc this year. What about tax return check?

i hear ya! income tax has got to be my friend again

Ya maybe tax return might do. Forgot about that lol. But I heard govt messed up our taxes and we might get less than expected. Anyone else hear this?

dgkid, the govt definately messed up some peoples tax rebates but not all. My father's an accountant and he confirmed that for me. I forget how he said you could confirm but if you have the same accountant do your taxes each year or know an accountant, they should be able to tell you. Might even be something you can google for an answer to determine if it was income threshold related. But we digress.


You're a better man than I. Like you, I never "have" the money to buy kites but I do so anyway and then hang my head in shame when I explain the purchase to my wife. I find I never have enough saved to buy a kite but I budget well and always get the bills paid after it arrives.

Oh, and your Avatar / Profile, whatever thingy... I think that is "wicked pissa", though I would say "smaht" would be a better rendering.

I'd rather beg for forgiveness, than ask for permission.

Thanks B-Roc. "Smaht" is actually so much better. I have adjusted the avatar. :singing:
Dunno if anyone watched the season that ended of "The Amazing Race" but they had a couple from Salem Ma and the wife was referring to her husband and she was like "My husband is Wicket Smaht" and I fell to the floor in stitches. I was like, WOW is that how I really talk?? Thats awful.

Better a small bonus that no bonus ... I've never had a bonus from this job ... nor even a tax refund :alien:

$1,000 last year this year ....... A HAM :shocked2: New owners !

its the economy ... im in the same boat

$3000 the first year

last year I got $5000

now, Im at a big fat ZERO.

At least, I can thank Vliegerop / Peter Lynn for a great wonderful christmas. :tumble:

"no bonus, no turkey, just the bird.....":flaming:

God i need to stop with this minimum wage college job crap business. As you guys can see I hold one kite in my quiver haha. I have had a few, and sampled a ton, but never had enough money to hold multiple.

Luckily I get to begin flight instructing at the end of this spring . Bring on the money! (i think??)
