!!! 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!

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.
