My new toy.
Waroo
Today, my newest kite arrived. This is the first time I've paid full price for a kite. However, after having flown it once today, I have the feeling that it's going to be worth every penny. Last year, there were more times that I was lacking the correct kite size than I care to count. So, for Xmas, Santa brought me a big kite (20 Square Meters). That'll take care of light wind days. Well, that kite or my 14 meter kite combined with a skim-board. But, I haven't bought a skim board, yet. We'll see on that. Not just yet. So, with 20 meters covering 7mph to 12mph winds and my 14 meter kite covering 11mph to 20mph, all I needed was a high wind kite. And, since snowkiting requires less power, that high-wind kite would double as my snow-kite. Everyone and their brother knows that the best snowkite is a bowkite. Or, that is to say, one of the new flat kites with maximum depower-ability. I was certainly not going to be able to afford one of the original flat kites. That's okay. Bestkiteboarding came out with a flat kite around the time that I was itching to buy. The kite was about 1/3 the cost of one of the other flat kites. So, cha-ching... Tax-refund spent. I requested the hot-pink kite when I placed my order back in December. Unfortunately, by the time they got to my order number in the queue, they were out of the hot pink. That actually worked out for the better because we never did get any kite-able snow during the months of January or February. Had I gotten the kite back then, the 30 day guarantee would have been wasted.

I opened the box today when I got home and I was greeted with a nice black bag typical of the bestkiteboarding kite-bags.Waroo and inside the standard huge pocket Waroo was the standard repair kit Waroo and the side of the bag has the standard mesh area where you can tuck the end of your kitebar Waroo on both sides. Construction on this kite seems on par with the other 2 bestkiteboarding kites that I have WarooWarooand the Waroo has the huge dump valve for deflating the kite WarooI went to the park and pumped up the kite and gave it a fly. I was very impressed with the flight characteristics of this kite. It was fast and responsive.WarooWarooWarooWarooWarooWarooThe instructions say to pump it up HARD, so I did. I don't think I've ever pumped a kite up this hard. Waroo

Oh! I'd forgotten all about those pictures.

Today is day one of my BBCK week (FYI).

The hummingbird pics, of course!!

I now can tell the difference between your pics and 'fer's!

Who should tell what friend thanks? The last two pics in the phone cam section are from 'fer.

Wow, what beautiful pictures. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Tell your friend thanks also please.

My P.T. ends on Friday and I am doing great in that department but my lower back is now acting up - also have another in-grown toe nail so more trips to the doc are in order!! Oh, the joys of growing old!! No one told me it was going to be this much fun.

22 & counting!

if laundry day is wasted, wonder how many wasted days I have had in my lifetime?

23 & counting.

Another wasted day.

I did some laundry. That's the extent of my activity today.

Feh.

Excellent.

I may go play with the kite today. I haven't decided yet. I went out yesterday and played with it on my mountainboard. Unfortunately, I wasn't very happy with the kite. It flies much differently than my other kites. Perhaps it was because the wind was light. Perhaps there is a learning curve to handling this kite.

We'll see. I have 30 days to fall in love with it, or send it back.

I found your schedule - so you don't have to answer 2 of my previous requests.

I suppose you are out with your pretty kite today - hope you have wonderful weather for it.

Thanks for the pics of your girls - soooo cute.

Love you, mom

Yes. Did you get BBCK's request for Bob's address? She wants to send him a postcard that she got from a geocache. It's a breast-cancer awareness post-card. That wouldn't be a problem, would it?

Biz - did you see my note asking for a re-send of your arrival date & Time again. The other went walk about! Thanx. Mom

Hi kadanmon - so good to know you are still around - we keep asking about you. Hope all is well with you too.

And, you know how long he has had these problems - once he gets one solved, he goes looking for new ones! Am I right?

He is busy playing with Miss M as often as possible too. She is such a cutie and as good a baby as 'fer was from what I hear.

Very anxious to see Biz and BBCK next month. Take care - see you in Aug?

How long have you been having this problem? Finding unexpected things in your pockets?!

I hope everyone is good! You have fun with your kite - I want to watch baseball! Mini me is too fun to watch and Blondie somewhat gets into softball. It is quite fun to re-live youth through them!

Love to Ma & Dad! xoxo and a pinch!

Extra money for me is finding cash that got left in a pocket and went through the wash. Nothing beats slipping your hand in a pocket and finding something unexpected.
(wait, that sounds a little strange...)
Chores are always better when shared.

BigBro - Being single has its benefits. For one, I can spend my "extra" money as I wish. Though, there are drawbacks, too.

I miss having someone to share the chores with. One of the things that Tal and I do when I go to see her is tackle some of the bigger chores that you can just never bring yourself to do alone. I like that.

I love getting new toys. Most of the toys I've bought lately are used to shape wood into smaller items, or keep my fingers from being shaped by the other toys at all.
