Wayne Dowler Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Team?? Are you guys sure you can even fly together?? lol!!! Nope, those babies are staying close to the West Coast - of the USA!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I need time to think... (left is right, right is left... dyslexia and kite flying are a challenging combination !) Well, you will learn faster if you concentrate on left is counterclockwise and right is clockwise. Left and right as kite directions change depending on the orientation of the kite. Clockwise and counterclockwise remain the same. (This good deed will surely influence the RNG to pick #833.) Pete, the unfortunate thing about it is, the more I think about something, the more twisted up I get. It's not just right & left, if you say top wind & bottom wing, that automatically gets confused, too. Clockwise & Counterclockwise, instant confusion. If I don't think about what I'm doing, it usually turns out the best... Rob - I know how it feels, after overcoming my stroke!! Now, the regained confidence and hope it has given me, has pretty few limits!! Keep flying!! Wayne, I can't even imagine how hard it is to have to re-learn stuff for a second time. I have the utmost respect for your attitude & accomplishments. Dyslexia is something that I've always had, although it gets in the way, it isn't a sudden obstacle that had to be overcome... for me it's just the way things are. Maybe that's why the upside-down hover is easy for me ? Rob - I've had a bunch of years to finally get past my change in life status! It took time, but I did find out that it can be done if you're willing to work at it and have something to look forward to! And boy do I look forward to kite flying!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbailey49 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Not nearly as life threatening and certainly not as unexpected as a stroke, but I went through 3 surgeries on my left knee in 18 months and getting back to being able to fly was a definite motivator to recovery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Not nearly as life threatening and certainly not as unexpected as a stroke, but I went through 3 surgeries on my left knee in 18 months and getting back to being able to fly was a definite motivator to recovery. I'm just recovering from 5 broken ribs, a broken back & bruised lung. I was back out, trying to fly inside of a month. That was my main concern... when will I be able to fly again ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Not to belabor the medical stuff - but also 2 heart attacks and both hips replaced to go with that stroke!! I tell everyone - if I can do it, don't tell me you can't!!! Doesn't fly with me!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbailey49 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Wayne, I think you are a little "Crazy". I hope you won't be "Cryin' " or "Jaded" when, after so much "Livin' on the Edge", those kites "Walk This Way" and give me "Sweet Emotion" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reef Runner Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 If you look through the posts, I think you'll notice that the titles are pretty random... maybe RNG does have something to do with this... Hey Rob, I think that those forum titles are predetermined, and somewhat automatic, based on the number of post that the member has made. Then at some point (?), after some predetermined number (?) of posts, I believe that the system allows you to enter a member title, of your own choosing. If you go to your profile page, I think you should be able to change your own member title, but if not, you probably haven't made enough post. Again, all speculation ! Maybe JB will chime in here and clear this up, because I'm only guessing, based on the fact, that I can change my title, on my profile page..........but who knows..............only JB knows for sure.......... But now, back to the banter....................... 5 - 9 - 0 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yeah, look at that, your's changed ! I wouldn't know what to title myself as... Have to think about that one. So yeah... B2s to the NorthEast... yeah, that's it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
