Hey John, only two more days ..........

Yeah, I understand that part about, "these many years later!!" RUST ? Now jerk that steel rod out and replace it with an aluminum or stainless steel rod. No more rust worries

Or, you can make your own stake & holster, for little of nothing.......It's not "rocket science", you know It's just a 1/4" stainless steel rod, approximately 10 - 12 inches long, pointed on one end, and pressed into a 7/32" hole, which you drill into (not quite all the way through) a golf ball. No glue necessary - just use a hammer and drive the rod into the hole (in the golf ball) until it bottoms out. Then sharpen the other end, so that it will penetrate the ground. I use stainless steel rods for regular ground, and aluminum rods for the beach and/or dunes....... To prevent accidents, it's best to have a holster. Make a holster out of any suitable 1" wide piece strapping material, doubled and sewn up each side. Form a loop, up on the top end, to attach the holster to your belt. If desired, use a metal snap, or Velcro, to make your loop, so you can open and close it, or just sew it closed, and slip your belt through the loop........."piece of cake"

Maybe John will mess up, and draw for this on Thanksgiving

Well, I surely can't do all that stuff, but I'd still love to add this one to my bag..........

Yes you are John, yes you are.......and once again........Thanks for all you do ! And now, as I heard you say, some time back.........."don't make me come over there"

Well John, it's probably the 15th somewhere, so I wouldn't stress over it too much !

I must have missed something. It's not even the 15th, over here on the right coast ? Never the less, CONGRATULATIONS TIM !!!

And I just packed my boots.............drat !

Right ! I'll call Mayflower this afternoon..........

Oh, that's not sneaky enough...........You got to have a real plan, to fill your bag.

Yep, just a few quick "key strokes", two or three days, and voila, the postman comes a knocking !

Hey Zach, You want to know how to get that "good karma", to really work for you, on this B2 ? Go out and get yourself one today, and then, you'll probably win................(worth a try, anyway, and either way, you'll have a B2)

Well, I just don't know what to say ! I'm at a lost for words ! Go guys, GO !

Hey Mark............No flogging for you, and no kneeling necessary. (I was really just messing with Wayne. Where the heck is he, anyway?) I agree with everything you said, and that's exactly the purpose, that my old SLE serves me, today ! You may have seen my mention of the word "tank", in a previous post (about 4 back). Well, I just call em like I see em. That SLE is definately the 4x4, or tank, of the Revs. Again, I have slammed that SLE into the ground, so hard, so many times, it's hard to believe that it still flys, but as you said, it's never been terminal, and the kite remains in A-1 condition. And now, as you also suggested, I take very good care of my newer kites, and I expect that they too, will last me a long, long, time..............cheers mate.........

There has been an awful lot of begging and pleading going on here, and we've still got over two months to go ! Oh well, good luck to everyone, and once again, "All is fair, in love and war of kites" !

Yes Zach - welcome to Kitelife ! You'll find a lot of good folks here, and a lot of good help. Oh, and good luck with the drawing (kinda) Sounds like you have already had the pleasure to meet Mr "JB". Well, I'm way over here on the "right" coast, and unfortunately, he seldom ventures over this way, so we East Coasters, have to be content with harassing him via email & PM's, just to make sure he's not some figment of our imaginations. But hey, he keeps answering those emails & PM's, so he must be real, or he's got one heck of a secretarial staff

Yikes ! "Sacrificial Rev" ! Wayne isn't going to like the sound of that ! But you are right, and the old SLE is perfect for that (as well as for the Newbie, that happens by, and wants to learn)

Me Too!

Hey Sari, Feel privileged, we never have an ECRC (as in East Coast) ! But I know John is working on it. I give him C_A _, about it every year.

You have got to be kidding ! It's not even Thanksgiving yet ?

That would make a mighty nice Christmas present - for ME

Normal would be 5 - 9 - 0 for the win ! Well, maybe that wouldn't be normal, but I'd like for it to be

Well, I think I just did [it's his website & forum, you know], but I don't think I said anything wrong. I see he's been moving some of his collection out, himself, recently.........
