Hi RNG. Good to meet you.

If by any chance, you happen to be the Dallas area, please let me know, so we can get together and fly for a while, toss down a few beers, and talk kites and other great things.

Take care and have fun.

Thanks.

Stogiez

Pssst--yes--I know. What I don't know is my number.

Now come one, that is a bit rich, asking the RNG to pick you just cuz you are a new member.

Good idea though, best of luck.

Just to ease my own ego. From What I gather RNG is a cruel mistress.

A CRUEL MISTRESS.

We read of kings and gods that kindly took

A pitcher fill'd with water from the brook ;

But I have daily tender'd without thanks

Rivers of tears that overflow their banks.

A slaughter'd bull will appease angry Jove,

A horse the Sun, a lamb the god of love,

But she disdains the spotless sacrifice

Of a pure heart, that at her altar lies.

Vesta is not displeased, if her chaste urn

Do with repaired fuel ever burn ;

But my saint frowns, though to her honour'd name

I consecrate a never-dying flame.

Th' Assyrian king did none i' th' furnace throw

But those that to his image did not bow ;

With bended knees I daily worship her,

Yet she consumes her own idolater.

Of such a goddess no times leave record,

That burnt the temple where she was adored.

OK, if the RNG chooses my number this time, I'm keeping it ! The Widow Maker is one of the best kites out there, and I will wear out the one I have sooner or later. I am actually thinking of trading my new Solus for a Widow Maker UL. That's how good the Widow Maker is, whoever wins this won't believe how nice it flies, even if dual line isn't your thing...

Full-tilt banter here!

Friend requests to mythical deities, the musings of Thomas Carew and other poetry, psychological warfare, etc....

Ahem, watch your tone there... No one does voodoo like I do.

Since I'll be traveling tomorrow....

HEY RNG

"Now go do,

That voodoo,

That you do,

So well!!"

There. I just worked in a Blazing Saddles reference. Winning is a sure thing for me now. There is no shame in the rest of you PM-ing John and bowing out of the drawing. Be a master of your own fate, don't let RNG do it for you ;)

The lucky winner...

249? No, they let their number lapse. :cat_shocked:

497? No, they let their number lapse. :cat_shifty:

21? No, they let their number lapse. :cat_sick:

314? Guess what... They let their number lapse. :cat_lol:

418? Yep, you're right - They let their number lapse too. :cat_shy:

830? Wow, another one could have won this widow but didn't! :ani_giveup:

Okay - got a good number that's still active, finally!!!!

Warm congratulations go out to #925, Fred and Donna Taylor! :cat_luv:

Sorry for the drag-out, but I thought you might want to see how many folks *could* have won, but lost out due to a lapsed subscription. ;)

Wow, the RNG got as close as #830, but couldn't make the leap to #833 (choke!)

Well, congratulations are in order to Fred & Donna (who did NOT let their subscription lapse). Fly it well and take lots of pictures!

Been out of the country flying on the beaches of Mexico for a week. Just got back and checked to see if you'd already shipped the Widow Maker to me. Almost had a heart attack with your list:

... 497? No, they let their number lapse. :cat_shifty:

Thought for sure it was my number!!!

Congrats to Fred and Donna ... hope you enjoy your kite.

Cheers,

Tom
