JoneZ Posted December 29, 2009 Report Posted December 29, 2009 Heavy rain however could be a thang. lol So lets focus that energy into NO RAIN!!!! : D Quote
John Barresi Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Posted December 30, 2009 Either way, BRING IT. <GRIN> Quote
JoneZ Posted December 30, 2009 Report Posted December 30, 2009 Heck yeah!!! how you diggin' this snow Jb? Got about 2" so far here in O.C. Quote
John Barresi Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Posted December 30, 2009 Yeah, pretty close to 2" here too... Not my bag, but whatever. Off work today? Quote
JoneZ Posted December 30, 2009 Report Posted December 30, 2009 2"...pfft.... Gimme 2 feet!!! I miss the snow so much! The Canuck in me is extremely satisfied right now. lol Paintings been real slow this winter. Probably the worst we've experienced. Kind of putting a hinder on getting my immigration papers through. =\ Been doing a little web designing here and there, some rogue network admin and repair, and pickin up whatever painting side jobs I can find. Been pretty blessed this year, despite the recession, and compared to last year we're rollin in it. lol Quote
JoneZ Posted December 30, 2009 Report Posted December 30, 2009 Bahhh. My Wife is coming down with a cold, and may not make it to the fly day. As its looking now, its going to be a soaking wet day (thrus and fri). I mean REAL wet. They're calling for 2"-4"!!! Delta park is gonna be a slush pit for sure. lol Sunday is looking very promising for decent weather. I think I may hit Delta park on Sun. as well. Im just hoping (knock on wood) that I don't catch this cold. Quote

JoneZ Posted December 30, 2009 Report Posted December 30, 2009 I think Duane just said that he would buy us all tickets down to FL to fly!!!! Holy dude! Im There! What time does our flight leave???? hehehe j/k Quote
Guru4tru Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 If anyone from your Artic area wins those "FOUR LIGHTLY USED 2009 BLASTS w/both SLE and Ultralight leading edge spars!" then 4 people will have a "free" flight to Florida. Just wait for a good wind from the Northwest and put them into the air! (make sure you have enough line to reach the "jetstream" and pack a lunch!!) Keep It Up!

JoneZ Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 Was a great day for a fly (even though the rain was a major part of the day.). Had a blast. Thanks for the fly, and the comradery. Cheers all!!! Quote

Cheers all!!! sounds like a good time... hope it was warmer than Milwaukee (although Milwaukee was pretty warm with hand warmers in my mittens and a cup of Jynks' hot chocolate) Quote
John Barresi Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Posted January 2, 2010 Ha, we had rainbows and pretty darned good wind. Quote
TAKAKO Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 Ya!! We saw rainbows. Was so beautiful Quote
JoneZ Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 hehe, Glad I was able (in my rev newbness) to hold my Rev steady enough for that picture! Good times Everyone!! Quote
John Barresi Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Posted January 2, 2010 You did great Jon, like I said... It'll come to you really quick. Quote
JoneZ Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 hehe thanks man. I 'feel' quads more. Im sure (once my cold runs its course) more practice time out there, and my learning curve will shoot 90o. I think Im a natural at it (nothin like floating ones own boat huh? lol). Thanks for the tweaks out on the field. I moved the knots up on the top and bottom bungees on my down spars to tighten up the sail. I can't wait to get her out there!!!! I was pretty determined today to go out and fly, but my head quickly filled up with "sick" (feels 10lbs heavier today) so I better not press my luck. lol Quote
John Barresi Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Posted January 2, 2010 Best of luck for a speedy recovery brother. We'll be out doing team moves before ya know it! Grrr... If the rain would clear, I'd be out on my dock right now. Quote
JoneZ Posted January 2, 2010 Report Posted January 2, 2010 Oh!! I meant to mention, that I took out all the knots off my top leader lines, except for the last knot, and that lengthened the leader line to about 11.5". So that'll do me until I can get over to T and snag some bridle line (Costs about 5 gallons of gas to get to Vancouver and back in the Jeep. o.0). I added another set of knots on my bottom leaders, so I"ll just adjust from there in the meantime. Quote

Baloo Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 hehe, Glad I was able (in my rev newbness) to hold my Rev steady enough for that picture! Good times Everyone!! That is a WELL sick picture (hope I said that right, difficult for the over 50's to understand modern talk). A Rainbow Rev, in a Rainbow. wOw. Quote
