Freakin kite killers
So I went out to the lake with my family today and figured I'd take the kite along just in case an opportunity presented itself. Naturally, I made
sure it did 
We pulled up to a nice spot with enough room to fly, winds were fine not great but it worked. I got in about an hour before my parents and their
friends were ready to go. I packed up in a hurry and guess what i forgot...... FREAKIN KITE KILLERS. Went back for them cause I figured not many
people would have been through there (had to drive up by boat) but there were a bunch of drunk college looking 'kids' that had set up a volleyball net
and just kept asking me what kind of wolf I had since my dog swam to shore with me instead of listening to my persistent "where's my black arm band
things".
Guess I will be ordering some new ones soon ish.... guess i just needed to vent :/ My dad didn't understand my frustration that these people my age
weren't able to answer whether they'd seen them and just how freakin much I wanted to find the stupid things.
ANDDDDD its supposed to rain tomorrow. Bad start to the week for kiting....

+1 on the Bummer.
Weren't the kite killers attached to the leaders of the control handles? :puzzled:

Presents a good case study for leaving your kite-killers attached to your kite when you put everything away. Unless you are taking off your lines
after you finish flying the kite (not something many people flying fixed-bridle kites do).
I also used to keep a spare set of kite-killers in my bag in case one snapped, or I borrowed someone's kite who didn't have killers on it. They are
not very expensive to order. Maybe order an extra set when you do?
Just a thought.

Just a thinly veiled story to see if Big Kid might want to "replace" my set of Combats and Centuries I "lost". Just jokingly testing the limits of
his generosity.
