murphys law
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!

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. |
