monkey Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Oh geeeeez! Could you just pop down there and redig that straight please? Are you flying the 3 BBQs again? I actually prefer short lines, so, I'm good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Lingenfelter Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I was reading some history on Pacific Beach, and they put in pilings along the river to keep it on the straight (but not narrow-depends on the tide) So it stays put. Wonder if it would work there. Maybe Lincoln City's mayor should speak w/ Pacific Beach's mayor. If anyone stays at the Exceptional Place to B & B send Ed our regards. Have fun. I wish you all wind.

LLAMAGUY Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Llamagod, have you finished fixing the river yet? Umm, the pull start on my power shovel is broken I did talk to Ron at the Lincoln City VCB... he confirmed that the river has turned south, but is not as bad as last fall (which pretty much wiped out the entire beach). World's smallest river is a world class pain in the ars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Lingenfelter Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hey you guys, as soon as you get back let us know how it went. It looked like a great line up. BB Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backspin23 Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 hello just got back sooo.... here is a quick review of how it went. Saturday Started ok cloudy sky with no wind building to 10mph with blue sky, pretty fun, then rained and rained. had to call it quits at about 2.30 3.00ish Sunday After raining all night the morning started the same and Saturday, but the wind quickly built up to 6-10 mph with tons of blue sky, giant kites, and inflatables in the air, lots of stunt kites flying. The way a kite festival should be. Oh yeah there was the lake in the middle of the beach all weekend, but we moved the fields down the beach and it worked out pretty well. All the fliers did a great job and we all had a lot of fun and so thats basically how it went, i left at 3.30 so im not sure what else happend, lots of fun though, sorry you couldn't make it Penny JD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mousie Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 we missssssssssed you penny! It was alot of fun, despite a few raindrops.. hehe.. I even got talked into doing my first demo!! ... on the sandbar... umm coughs.. in the water...snorts... Ok.. so I was shy... ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Lingenfelter Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 JD Thank you!! I'm glad it was a succesful weekend over all. Will there be pictures posted anywhere. Did you drive yourself there? Betty sent me pictures of the fun fly at Crescent City I think. I've not had time to view them, since I got them at work. Maybe I'll be seeing your smiling face in them. Lolly is sending me some white kites to paint. Next time you get a rev, ask for white. Then you won't have to paint over any colors. The indoor is coming up in March. I hope you get some practice in and come join us. Hey, I saw a lot of great costumes the other day and thought of you. There was an M & M costume.. There were several raisens, too. Now wouldn't that be fun!?! Keep me posted on your progress and tell Mom and Dad hello. Hey, Carl, good picture in the newspaper article. It was a good article too.

Penny Lingenfelter Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Amy, we were typing at the same time. Way to go, your first "official" demo. Way to go! Sorry I missed it. BB Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backspin23 Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi Penny, Will there be pictures posted anywhere. Did you drive yourself there? Na i let dad drive up this time. I'll post a few pics tomarrow plus i'm sure John got some too. I'll try my best to get to the indoor. I think it is the same time as my spring break, so there shouldn't be a problem. So I should see you soon. JD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLAMAGUY Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Weather and beach conditions aside... the event went well for those that weren't "assigned" a flying area under several large inflatables! <_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 The river/lake made it tough for teams and one-man teams, but I'd agree... One heck of a festival, with awesome hosts! I found myself over flying my single sport kites out over the water quite a bit, one of my favorite flying environments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 And then there is some of us who "miss" diving at the water and end up in it. I'll get the beach slime off my Revs someday... I had a great time. Great company, great kites and BOY do John and Todd ever know how to do up some bbq ribs, those were fantastic!

Penny Lingenfelter Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 It sounds wonderful. Carl, you can take those inflatables! Monkey, you can dive great at the water... uhhmmm it's the brakes that might be giving you fits. lol I missed ribs? mann..... and I'm hungry. J.D. practice indoors and come flywith us. I can't wait till March for the indoor. Parks should have a bigger and better show planned. I'm excited! BB Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I blame it on some random person taking my attention away at the very wrong moment Most of my flying over water was without incident thankfully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Lingenfelter Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Oh sure, it's started... Amy, I think he's blaming you for his dunkings.. Come on Monkey, take it like a uhhh uhh monkey? lol See Amy, those sashay lessons will work. Now... you have to time this during competitions.

John Barresi Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Oh, oh, oh... And that JD! Talk about a quickly excelling flier... I only spent a little time sharing skills with him at the Windchasers Labor Day fly, but he's like a sponge... Sucked it all up, ran with it, and expounded (grew) with it. On the AKA Sport Kite Committee and International Rules Book Committee both, I'm going to propose that we initate a "JD Handicap" rule involving having to fly with one hand, in lead boots... Coming soon, in the 2006 IRBC rule book. Nah... He'd just figure out some way to levitate around the field, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
