What frustrates me is when I'm sitting at home on a weekend and I can see the trees moving outside my window, but every forecast prediction i'm looking at says that all the flying locations within an hour of me have no wind... But its enough wind to move the darn tree outside my window... Dagnamit!

Sure BB.
We know you are a PKF addict :ninja: and cant get off the forum unless there is wind. The only reason you do get off is to go kiting, so you can talk about what you did when you get back on the forum. RIGHT?:spin::spin:

Well if its not exactly true then thats ok, but thats how a lot of us are. ;-)


Yes,even though what I say is true, I realize I'm an addict to the kite thing. If I can't be flying, I want to talk and read about it.

I've gotta make this a living like Angus so I can get more kite time and help others do the same. As it is I only get to go out an hour or two each week (wind permitting). :bird:

The thing that pisses me off about seeing the trees outside move is because somehow I always need to go to school or work at the time i notice them :(

We have windows in the meeting rooms so I get to watch the trees bending in the wind in the background. All discussions turn to blah blah blah as I zone out.....

You're going to be flying at Solomon's tomorrow Todd? That's worth a thought or three, though I wouldn't get there until about 1700.

Yeah, but with sunset time, I'd only get about an hour and a half of flying time. That's only half as much time as I'd spend driving.

I have tried Nyquil last night, Dayquil this morning. tylonal, ibuprophin, and coffee and doughnuts. Nothing is helping. This cold went through the shop I work in last week more than half the guys where out for a couple days. I teased them all about being whimps!!
This is what I get for teasing. Now I'm a whimp too!! :dunno:
I just want to fly my new 5m and ride my buggy. But I'm off balance due to sinuses. I'll stay home!

Was at work watchin the trees dancing about, tempting me for further fun.

Guess what I, sucker that I am, decided a sickie is in the making. So I rang my supervisor and told him that I was going home as I was suffering from Major Wind Problems.

Now am trying to find my landboard mate for an arvos hooning around one of the local footy fields.
