I'm finding ways to shirk my other responsibilities enough to get there a little earlier.

Shirk away oh Great Bob of the Beamer! It won't be right to have all that fun without you all day. Do you want me to call your wife? I'm pretty good at shirking, actually that's my secret super power, so call me and I'll swoop in yelling --"Heeere I Come To Save The DAAAAAY!"

Really, I won't mind. I use my powers for good.

You don't call my wife and I won't call yours to help you out either. Didn't you say she is out of town this weekend? Boy that made this tough for you didn't it? :D I've missed 2 days this week with over 15 mph winds getting chores done around the house. I think I've built up enough goodwill to avoid the chin music on Saturday. I've even got her shopping trip arranged to further my cause. And then its only a week till Fernandina. 3 days on the beach wide open. This weekend will be a good tune up to get ready for the beach.

Ive got everyone from Folly on speed dial except for Phree......................are you coming Phree? If so Ill bring the 13m SS........................Mgtac/MKB are you coming?

windmapper is showing 6-10 and rotating around to the south during the afternoon. South winds would be the most clean at OBE field I think.

I'll weigh in this evening or tomorrow. You guys that have been married for a while know that it's all about the timing...................;-)

Josh (MKB) will be on a snowboarding trip this weekend.

Wind actually looks better on Sunday.

sounds good, you all will be cruising big time at 10 with the AST........the XXL should be plenty as well @ 10...............hope to get a fix on the Synergys low end...........tweak the depower in and fly unhooked!!!!!!!:duh:

The 7m Blurr's are at home with 10 mph as well. The 4.9 Reactor is even viable but the Blurr will be the one coming out of my bag in these winds. I have an 8.3 Reactor on the short list. Should have it by April.

Not trying to hijack the thread but...who's bringing junk to Beech Island to trade or sell? I'm bringing a Dakine Fusion seat harness, a 4 mtr Mac Bego, a 10.5 Blade III w/depower mod, and an MBS Comp 6 with stainless bearings. No pressure...just bring your junk!

My Beamer will be there. A club member that hasn't picked up a kite of his own yet expressed some interest in it, but it isn't spoken for. Great time for a swap shop at a get together like this.

i would like to try the seat harness and the board both mine are handicapped & geriatric.

i gott this FS 9.5 and i'll put it out there got it from powerzone can't seem to work into the rotation

looks like you'll be there so Ill bring the SS.................all I have/could offer are 2 Quadrifoils, 7.1 and 9.6 meters, closed cell land/water option, much power, try em out Saturday........

AH , what about the wind

Looks like its a big kite day. :dunno:

Ill go out on a limb.............................looking at the triad (Augusta, Cola, OBurg) on windmapper, Im gonna guess 9 to 12 between 12 and 1600.....................thats 4pm for you civilians (thats right Im a civilian now as well):duh:

yep with leaf blower in tow........................

Tri I'm still interested in that XXX. That would be a nice way to top out my quiver of fixed bridles even after I get the 8.3 Reactor. I can probably pull it off Saturday if you don't need to part with the lines and handles. If not, I'll have to keep saving a bit.

sounds good, fly it like you stole it Saturday. Power rings installed, just about got her dialed in. Im gonna try and get out this morning if it ever warms up. Winds are about 10ish, Ill try and get a pic or 2 static and on the board..................still crispy as a freshly poured bowl of Capt Crunch..........

Crispy? Heck I bet the bridles are just getting snugged up on it.

Angus is predisposed this weekend but sends wind and his best wishes.

Maaaan! I can't wait! If anyone wants to fly Sunday, I'll be around again and plan to fly anyway and l would love the company. If anyone who travels far needs a place to crash overnight, I can sleep 4 in the RV. It'll just be my son and I this weekend so it's a man weekend all around. Is everyone clear on directions? If anyone needs a phone number for good measure, U2U me and I'm sure BeamerBob will offer travel assistance as well. When you're driving into Beech island, you'll be here when you hear the banjo music....

I'm happy to offer phone support any way I can. I'll be on my way about 12:15 which should put me there about 1:00. I'll be available by phone all morning though. U2U for cell number.

windmapper shows a consistent 9 mph all afternoon. That makes for a fun day with friends. I'm starting to let myself get excited now! :singing:

yep just noticed that.................just to the north in Greenwood its 12/13 and about the same in Cola so it should be a good day. Just in case, Im making 7 meter extensions for the Synergy. Installed that will put her at 35m, make a bit of apparent, rollin ......................so coming west on I 20, what is the best way to get there. I looked at the SC highway 19 option...............thoughts?:puzzled:

Im coming in on 302 from Wagoner, which runs right into Storm Branch Rd..........we always cut across OBurg/Aiken counties when we go to Aiken (North, Wagoner/Salley, New Holland)........

This is the best route if you were coming in on I-20.
Goggle maps coming West on I-20

Tridude, Hwy 78/278 might be more direct for you unless you need to stop and have breakfast with the sister-in-law. That's actually how we came to Folly. I made 20 minutes better time coming home going through Columbia though. And no I didn't take up the landing gear. That's at 10 over the limit when traffic allowed.

just finished up 8m extensions (Q power lines) but if the winds are like this tomorrow, they wont be needed!!!!!:duh:

i have ER appts SAT am looks like i'm out..

it will put me kinda late there , so see most at AMELIEA Isl.

oh but i gonna ride here don't worry
