CRAP!

Thanks Shane. The RSVP is correct. It's 9/18 a week and a half a way.

I had several runs with several groups on my plate the day I started this thread and they all ran together. If you could correct the thread title, I would be indebted.

 

Old age man, old age

 

Aw, go easy on him Mike. He's still got a whole year before he's officially old.

Thread title fixed.

 

Don't you have work to do? You have been on here all day! Now get out in the shop and weld something, anything!

 

Very true... the last year of my "youth" ehhehehe

Thanks for the fix. It looks much better now

 

I am actually prodjectless right now

I actually going to get another prodject on friday (somebody from here actually)

 

Rob, back around '89 a guy I knew at Boeing in one of the shops I supported was really into stunt kites.
He told me to go to downtown Seattle to a kiteshop by the Farmers Market.
I am sure you know the store.

He told me to get a Trlby brand which I did.
Just Googled them, and see Ebay has 'em.

Mine is a pretty good one, but needs the bridle worked on, and I have not flown it for almost 10 years.
I will dig it out and see if I can fix it, but not sure if you have enough room in your rig so I can bring it along.

I would take a pic of it now to show you what model it is, but I am afraid dust would be flying all over, and I just vacced and dusted my whole place.
It has not moved in ages, and is coved in dust right now.

It is the type I think where you can join several of them together.
I was living in West Seattle at the time after my divorce, and I would hit up Alki Beach after work and fly it down there for a few hours.
Good wind down there for it, and the babe gawking was great too

 

This is what I am into Running the Buggy at 40-50 mph is where it's at!! My kite is 10 feet from end to end and anything over 10 mph you best be ready to leave the earth. Sure wish I could join you guys on this run.. I'll around Baghdad by then though....... :pat: Have fun and post pics!!

 

Bring it along! Let's have a look at what you have

 

No such luck for me being there. My situation at work has finally found some resolution, although it ended up involving men in blue uniforms and federal investigatory employees. Lets just say it's been an interesting week, and it will take some cleaning up over the next week or so.

On top of that the damn Runner won't start, and you said I couldn't take the GF's Oldsmobile, so I wouldn't have had a vehicle either. Wish it would have been in Oct. like I originally thought from the thread title, I may have made that. Next time I guess.

 

Yikes, can't wait to hear the whole story Gregg. I'm unlikely to make this run, unless the Gods decide to favor me. Have fun!

 

yeah im still planning on coming up but im not positive on if i can or not anymore, we had a few people at work quit so i may have to go cover for them.

not sure yet, im gonna try though.

So, what service roads are you guys planning on running?
My only issue, is staying off the paved roads... Mr police ossifer won't like me too much

 

We'll have us a convoy headed up there good buddy, and we'll put you in the cradle..he he
Rob is talking about 74-75 to Lonesome Lake. Lots of options.

Jim

 

hm.......this sounds fun. I might b able to make it.

 

sounds like a lot of fun but i have to work that day. next time try to plan these things on sundays.

 

Tell ya what. Leave your rig at Safeway and i will take it up for ya

Anyway to get off early?

 

Wow I guess my whining at work actually worked this time. " No one ever works for me cause I work the late shift and I never get to go on these kind of runs with my family cause I work the late shift... boo hoo" I got the night off Crash and I and family now get to go after all so we will be there my 4 runner

 

wont be there. the only people who can work for me will both be down in arizona at a funeral.

 

so i'm in portland, and wondering if you think this is worth the trip tomorrow. i've been out messing around with friends in VT, snow mostly, but never been out on the trails with a crew. i figured this would be a good test to see if i want to get more into it. i would prefer something close, but if my runner is stock, it probably should be something this mellow. ya'll think it would be worth it? can we expect some snow? hate to be a poser, but you have to start somewhere...
