After a day flying kites at the beach last weekend, Candi and I have decided to get a couple of stunt kites and take on an additional hobby which we can do together. Today we stopped by Delta Park in Portland and talked with a guy who designs kites and puts on workshops. We plan to get either 4 line revolution kites, pictured first, or the more traditional 2 line stunt kites... the pink one.

Years ago I worked with a guy that was into stunt kites. He used to fly them every chance he got. Somewhere along the line he filed a workman's comp claim against the company saying the drill motors and rivet guns gave him carpal tunnel syndrome, yet he was out flying his kites even when he supposedly couldn't work. I suspect if he actually had carpal tunnel it was caused by the kite flying and not working on aircraft...

Morning.

Lost some quotes.

Cat, I don't think you've lost your photography...I just think things are evolving for you. Sometimes I think we get ideas into our heads that "this is the direction" we're going but the higher up has another. I know that for me, things are changing...regardless of how I've planned it. Wonder what's on the horizon for us?

Zane, I'm sorry you're hurting. Have you ever tried neuromuscular therapy? Its kind of a combo between massage, reflexology and very, very gentle chiropractic movements. Its been really helpful to me in the past.

No, do I have to wear a leotard? That's a deal breaker there.

hahaha I wasn't quoting anything this morning...just reading, til this set. Then I lost control of my coffee and laughed myself awake.

G'MAE all, can someone tell me where I put the swim tote? I found my swimsuit but not my cover up and need to get it packed. Guess I'll keep searching and once I find it I'll try to get my stuff done, well after I start packing.

aww skip covering up. Break free and boogie in the sunshine!

Um . . . Wouldn't he be wearing a red jacket and Smokey hat in TR's Northern Counties?

The way he's described the story & it's locale, I was surprised he wasn't wearing a kilt.

Lovely. I think I missed something though. Who's tulip hating? *looks sternly around the room*

Lois had a lifetime membership to the Johnny Cash Fan Club, and we went to dozens of his live performances. If he was anywhere near the West Coast, we were there. I think Lois' fascination with him had absolutely nothing to do with his singing, but was more an interest in his personal life. We were able to meet him backstage a couple times, and he was always cordial. On the other hand, June Carter was positively gracious, and was the business mind of that organization.

John sure did have a unique voice.

I bet that was good fun, going backstage to meet those two...

I think the tulip hater was driving this tractor.

Wow...slow day in here today.

This should make the hater happy.

I'm late to the new party but here's a recent flaher for the walls...

It's another couple attempts at a reversed 50mm

nice work, Kody!

I'm on my desktop computer for the moment...and I forget just how much prettier photos look in here. Nice!

I think the hater was just using reverse psychology...right Jamie?

Ugh. Please tell me why good things always backfire? :-S And, mucinex/sudafed are keeping me comfy. I'm just glad the kids don't have it.

There's some seriously pretty stuff being posted in here today! Yes Fafa, including your burning tulip.

I suspect you might find him driving this.

is that Silvee? (or however you spell it?)

I can't answer that. It is one of them. It might be Mitzy.
