  1. Haven't been back since my 20th class reunion, back in 1989!!! I keep in touch with the family back there, but I now live out here in Oregon!!
  2. Thanks for joining in Rob, I thought you weren't too far from him!!! Airhead - If you can meet up with Rob, he'll help you a bunch!!!
  3. I think the Tracer was offered through Catch the Wind at one time!!! Don't think they stocked the Tracker though!!! This is definitely before my stroke!!!! But I was on the Catch the Wind mailing list and getting catalogs from them every year!!
  4. Neither kite rings a bell with me, and I started flying in '89!!! More than likely they both have been discontinued! Any good shop should be able to repair the broken parts, those haven't changed that much!! I wonder if these kites are capable of any "tricks"!!! They might be ok to get you flying again, though!! If you like them after flying some, you might look at a reasonably priced intermediate stunter!!! Rob, (Must86), you got anything on them??
  5. I was born in Newport, but left before kiting came into vogue!! It used to be a smaller town, centered on the Navy's presence there! Now it's become much more the "tourist trap" type of place!! Still have family in the area!!!
  6. --Pete: Do you mean - DROOL!!!!???? Might give the RNG a little time to settle, then ramp up the razzing and "voodoo"!!! Maybe!!!!!
  7. Enjoy and fly the heck out of it!!!! PS: John - we knew you had jet lag, so we gave you a break!!!
  8. Seth needs a good mid-wind kite to fly!!! Come on RNG!!! Of course he'll get it used!!!
  9. What - Everyone hoping that John would choose early??
  10. Are you jetlagged or what??!! From your initial post, the drawing isn't till Friday!!!! More time to taunt and razz the RNG!!! Welcome home and bring Seth's new kite to WSIKF!!!!
  11. Very nice!!! Where about in RI did you go?? I'm originally from there and wondered where you're flying!!!
  12. Was that a bit of pre-drawing banter I see there?? Haven't tried whispering to the RNG yet!!!
  13. SSSHHHHHHH ! It's a secret ploy Trying to fool with the RNG?? Good try!!!
  14. Bummer indeed!!! Still, we'll see you at LC and who knows where!!
  15. Hmmm, peaking a little early aren't you? Cheers, Tom Figured an early start wouldn't hurt anything!!!!
  16. Ok, time for some more last minute "voodoo"!!!! Ah, that feels like a winner!!!
  17. The Rev thing has some influence, but I think --Pete is right, more people flying than posting!!!
  18. I'll let you look at it, but it is coming back home with me ... just to be clear on the subject. Cheers, Tom
  19. Just thought about it, the drawing is just before WSIKF!!! I could save John a bit of postage when he brings my new kite to the festival!!!
  20. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy honey If you win, don't get any on the new kite!!!
  21. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy honey ROFLMAO!!!
  22. You'll like!!! Just watch out if you're tempted to try it outside - wind gusts will break it pretty easily!!
