Thanks for the automated welcome message John.  Now I know how you can do so much stuff and fly so well, you have robot clones!

I’m just getting back into kites after many years away.  I am currently flying mostly old kites that I have, like a Rainbow 6 pack, single rainbow, Vertical visuals Roler with line laundry and I have a delta or two.

 

I am just getting into 4 line kites and have a non vented Rev 1.5.  I also have a 2 line XL-80 stunt kite.

Hi, Dauogie, and welcome to the forum. Hope to fly with you someday.

I mostly fly Revs and other quad-lines most of the time, but have flown duals and singles also.

It's good to have you on board.

[John Barresi]

Truly welcome!

FYI, I went ahead and merged your other "full name" forum account with the one you're actively using.

No user changes on your end, just giving you a heads up.

[Daougie]

Thank you.  I open the second account as I was having trouble with the first one.   Any chance we can change  my typo so my name reads Dougie instead of Daougie? 

[John Barresi]

Alas, "dougie" is already in use by someone else.

Happy to change to anything else you like, just let me know.

[Daougie]

No, I'm good. I can live with my mistakes.

Offer stands, anytime.

[makatakam]

Aww, you can't change it now. I've gotten used to "Daougie".

[John Barresi]

Aye, sounds like you were introducing yourself and had a windgasm part way through - very endearing. lol

[Daougie]

Daougie it is then!  By the way is the a silent or are you guys spraining your tongues trying to pronounce all those valves?

[John Barresi]

I have a very limber tongue.

Seriously though, think the classic cartoon wolf howl...

Dah-ooooooouuugie!

[makatakam]

I was thinking it's like Dough-gee, but now you got me goin' on Dah-ooooooouuugie, although something like Dah-oh-you-guy works for me too. I don't know . . . decisions, decisions. Well, at least it gives me something to do today.

[Daougie]

I'll have to get a shirt made with my new Kite name on it for flying with you and John. 

[makatakam]

You could add the initial of your last name to the end of the handle, i.e. DougieR. It would be cool if it actually is R, 'cause then you would be "dougier" than the other Dougie. Other option is to use a symbol at the beginning, middle or end of the handle, like _, =, *, etc. You could be "10%DougieR" if you wish. Oh, the possibilities.
