Tuesday a bust...

Today was a bust for flying...not much wind and then had to be to work at noon. Not only that, I had honey do's to do...my list I gave me. Tomorrow I get to do my favorite job and will be able to fly at lunch. Wednesday will be a good day. 

Stowaway package

This  is the Stowaway package, isn't he cute. I want to fly him soon too...

Stowaway Kite

Today I got an early birthday gift, my friend just couldn't wait a couple more weeks, so she wrapped the cutest little baby chick kite with a stowaway packed inside. I was so surprised, I was speechless, a real feat for me. We took lunch early and boy what an awesome kite....I think it will be a fav...

Butterfly in the wind...didn't post right

Today's flying was awesome, got a new kite, actually 2, but the new delta is so much fun, it is stowaway kite, will get pics ASAP.

Butterfly in the Wind...

Today is not a good day to fly so far, but it is early yet. Maybe later in the day will be better. But here is what we did so far today...

Too windy

Butterfly on a cloudy day!!
 

Even tho' today was a beautiful day, it was too windy to fly. I didn't want to go up, up and away like Dororhy. Tomorrow I hope to get some flying done 'cause I am off and have no plans to do anything...been a long week tax wise. I plan to play kite person.

Kites - today

This is Delta!!!

Flying today was awesome Holly and I were able to fly for about 45 minutes, what a day, my sister stopped by and flew for a few minutes too. It was awesome. After flying we had to go back to work, would rather have stayed outside.




This is Butterfly...

Flying today

It is about 50degrees out here today. You can see from the picture the sky is perfectly clear and the little dot, is Delta.

We flew a little over 19 minutes, walked about 1/3 mile and burned 63 calories. Ohhh, that I could stay longer, but shower and work beckens...oh those pesky taxes!!! Be well and fly it's good for you!!!

Flying for health!

Bud At Home!!!

Today was an awesome day to fly.  When we got outside it was a little iffy if there was enough wind to fly, but by the time we got the kites together it was so nice a perfect for flying.

This is Bud, not who was up today, but he is awesome. We flew the deltas today and they both wanted to goo higher. After awhile it was to go back inside and go to work.  Ohhhh ;-/...

Kites - Repair day...

Today was kite repair day. Over the last couple months I have managed to loose 4 spars from 3 of my kites. Today I sat down, measured, cut and wah-lah diamond was again in the air. 

The other day walking to my car in the yard, there was one of the lost spars and Bud was in the air too. So two of 4 repaired. 

Miraculously, while sitting and enjoying the outside, looked down and where the chickens have been scratching, another spar, Jay moved the chair - number 4 was found. All kites are repaired and ready to fly, but now I need to be off to work and do some taxes - ;-/

Later...

Kites - Good exercise and lots of fun!!!

A few months ago I had a 5 way by-pass, the end result was Dr. strongly suggested more exercise...walking is not something I enjoy so....I searched for something that would get me outside and get exercise as well. A very dear friend suggested kite-flying.   At first, oh no, that's not for me, but who knew it could be so much fun and a good way to get exercise.  I now have 4 kites and flying 4 or more days a week and getting my heart rate up, getting a tan on my face and ankles and what a hoot.

As this is tax season and usually I spend many, many hours inside under the fluorescent lights I can't wait to get out and get flying.

January 22, 2014, Today was kite repair day, measure, cut fiberglass spars,  insert back into the kite and see if she flys....Up and away, after a few tries, when the wind is only a couple miles it takes a minute or two to get her going...but she was away, this one looks like stained glass way up there in the blue with only a few clouds to get in the way. The birds came to I visit again today, whenever I fly the vultures always come to see the competition. That 's always neat to see too!!!
