Hurry back Fedex guy, I want my kite!

Fedex was supposed to deliver an HQ Montana VII 9m yesterday, but by the time I got to the door they had already gone and left nothing but a piece of paper. Now I have to wait till they get here today, and of course, I'm not seeing any winds. Life is unfair!

But I can't wait to see how foil life compares to d'arc side...

Nothing sucks worse than seeing that sticker on the door and knowing the kite is in no man's land till the next day!

My regular UPS guy also delivers where I work and drives right by my flying field.. He'll deliver to me either place if he sees me..He rides by my flying field around early lunch time.. He'll wave if he sees me flying also..My home is the latter part of his route so if our paths cross, I often get my stuff a few hours early..
