This crazy Seattle weather....
John: I thought of you because I flew my kites today. The wind on the lake here was INSANE. I broke a spar joint on my three-meter foil (the kite in my avatar). But I got some good air first. And I made some nice trenches in the sand before it broke. Then got the Hawaiian out to finish off my workout. Kevin E: What are you doing driving your teener in this rain? LOL. I'm pretty sure that was you I saw at the intersection. How have you been in all of this flooding stuff? I know it's been crazy in Carnation. Has your home or commute been affected? Troy, just when I thought you wouldn't have to wonder if your teener floats... another frickin storm. Anyone wondering about powerkiting should watch this: Flexifoil power kite video |

Excellent Rand. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) You done good if you can break a spar with the kite in the air. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I enjoy my stack, and the foil and others, but my old Hawaiian is still my favorite for shredding the sky. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
*(I fly 5 in my stack of kites. Where does that put me in the /4 vs. /6 debate?) |

Oh man, John, the Hawaiian was LOUD today. Ripping the sky.
I need to source the brass couplers... The spar is ok, it broke at the joint. When it broke, the kite folded and I fell on my ass. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Haha... Hey, didn't VW make a 5-cylinder engine? You might make the next debate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s)

When the floods hit Carnation, I could not get home. When the snow hit, I was smart enough to stay home. Here is a picture from my back porch last week. Looking forward to spring time and more Teener Tuesdays. kevine |
