Remember when we were kids you couldn't wait to call your buds or go see what they got for Christmas? We would stare in awe at the GI Joe with the
Kung Foo Grip, Hot Wheels or TYCO Race Track and don't forget the Six Million Dollar Man with the peep hole to look through his bionic eye.
So, since I'm a big kid and can't wait for Christmas, I wanted to see what Kiting Stuff YOU got for Christmas. I know its early but some of you
snooped and you know who you are, and some know what you're getting because you
pay the credit card bills.
Hey Todd, Nice on the Chargers, (and the sponsorship, again). Do you get to keep your current ride? Or will PL custom build you one? (Call it the
Peter Maxx???) sorry, couldn't resist.Happy Holidays!

The wife and I are both getting inked today as a gift to one another. Bought our oldest a mbs atom 80X hoping he loves riding mine so I'm sure he'll
love his. Hopefully this will set the hook to get him flying his kite so that he can use both at the same time. Oh and I'm scopng though the web to
see if I can find a good deal on a loaded dervish when I go back through Edmonton. Found a good deal on a landyachts EVO out here but really thinl its
best to wait for the board I really want.

I'm getting a CT scan for X-MAS ! Oh wait ,that's a sucky kiting gift to
get. Dang, I must have been really bad this year.:dunno:
I did buy myself a TRAMPA recently(that I can't ride now), guess that will have to do.
I got a gopro HD and a couple of used kites (bought them a while back but have yet to fly them hoping for snow and wind for christmas) Also my wife
got me the new eflite MSR remote control helicopter- awesome indoor flyer:Ange09:. MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of you and wishing all of you tight lines and clean winds in the new year.

Kinda sorta pretty sure there might be one kite related gift, but our paths crossed downtown without actually meeting, and I didn't get the phone
message about it until much later that day. So.... I guess I will have to wait until schedules coincide again.
Got a pseudo kite related present for that friend... but details will have to wait, since he sometimes lurks this forum.... and you know who you are.
:P Almost didn't make it because of a spike in demand. :o
Won a small prize in the Holiday Gift Giveaway on another forum.... woo hoo :wee: There were much larger prizes/gifts, but I was surprised to snag
anything... kind of cool to see donations and giveaways on a forum where a lot of people have never met face to face. Inspired to find something neat
to donate to it next year if they do it again, kind of caught me by surprise at the last minute this year.
Waiting for a CD that I sponsored to be released... kind of a pricey way to get some free CDs , but good cause and a way cool way to produce a CD.
So I guess for the most part, my Christmas presents have been of the slightly strange, left of center variety.
Girlfriend's gift was delivered to the office and tucked away, till I get there tomorrow. Working from home today and keeping the wee furry ones
entertained/out of trouble and from running up the credit card bill. KHSN (Kitty Home Shopping Network) is the work of the Devil.
Patiently waiting for some sharps and some brights.... oh do hurry Santa.
ATB,
Sam

My wife got me a custom Masterpiece Revolution 1.5. Beautiful kite and I can't wait to get out and fly it. I am also getting a chiller for my fish
tank which is more a present for both of us.
Hoping that all of you have a merry Christmas and get everything that you want.
I got for Christmas.....
After 6 months I now have the ability to hold my youngest grandson without those poky ribs attacking my lung. The amount of Oxy has been reduced to
10mg per 4 hours and I'm not allowed to drive yet, me and the grandkids can all together fly our 6 Havoc Heli's in the house Christmas day.
No kites, Cameras, or anything kite related, kind of an "Old fashion Christmas, like the ones we used to have......
Appex buggy, Libre hardcore buggies.
Flexboardz. Blokarts.
PKD Century Soulflys. NPW's. Nasa Stars.
A few other less flown oddballs,
Line sets from 10" to 328" or 2m to 100m.
worlds only AQR that works.
North American distributor for PKD.
"Kite Bugging is not an addiction until you try to quit".
i'm sure out west those fish tanks can get dangerously hot... i used to freeze two liter bottles and put 'em in my wet/dry filter when things got out
of hand. wasn't often, but now and again you have those days where the AC cant handle the temp. spike and you start watching the tank temps rise
wondering what will survive and what's gonna boil
what's in your tank Kent...

sometimes!
As for my Christmas gifts, I know that soon I will be getting a delivery from up north! I was fortunate enough to be one of the ones getting a
Phantom. My wife said that can be my Christmas Present! I am stoked, and my wife kicks a$$!
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope some of you get that little surprise that you didn't know about!
All I know about so far is an East coast sport kites T shirt and hoodie. And the same for The Kidd (I ordered them!) But a GoPro HD Wide would be
increadible.

Great gift! After a few track days, you'll be needing tires so put them on the Christmas list also.
Meet you at NJMP, Pocono, or The Glen buddy. I'll show you the way around.
You think kiting is addictive, wait till you hit the track.
I couldn't resist talking my wife into the way too many kites at once pansh deal. Hope they arrive soon.
To awindofchange, how many Halides are you running to need a chiller? I just helped a buddy build up a 240 gal salt tank, with 3x250 watts. His
custom hood got up to 145 degrees...He's getting a chiller too.
All of a sudden I am dreaming of my ’87 535iS. I miss that car.
If I had my way, the black leather Recaro’s would be at my computer desk right now with all their power glory. It was like being hugged while driving.
A real eye-opener for those who did not know what it was capable of…
Thanks for the vids Jaymz

What I’m after:
5-6m lifty something or other
Syn\'s little sibling
Hmmmm... buggy?
Told the wife \"The fuel is free and I won’t have to change the oil.”
Running 2 400w MH along with 12 HO florescent (6 actinic, 6 white) & moon lights. The hood is well ventilated but most of the heat problems are
coming from my pumps underneath. No matter what I do I can't get the water temp below 80 so need a chiller. My corals are suffering because of it.
In the summer the temp creeps upwards to 85 which can be deadly. After trying several different things we concluded that the only way to get the temp
down is with a chiller. Tank needs to be around the 72-74' mark for a healthy environment.
Tank is salt water 485 gal acrylic live reef w/fish. Filters hold bout 180 gal. All home built.
That's a monster of a tank! You could put a whole reindeer in there. I take it your pumps are in the sump. The bonus of this is you won't need
900watts of heaters... I'll have to make a thread about fish tanks. I wonder how many other kiters share both hobbies.

Princely sums.... but Recaro does make office chairs. Pricewise they probably give Human Scale a good run for the money.
