Last Fly day before Christmas - December 21, '02

If you were out of town for the upcoming holiday, you get a bye for the day. But if you were in town and decided not to come to the park because:

You were too busy shopping.
It looked too cold.
It didn't look windy.
You figured no one else would be there.
Didn't have car trouble.
None of the above and don't really have a reason for not coming.
All of the above.

YOU MESSED UP! We had a pretty good time flying even though the winds were intermittent and it was cool. But it wasn't that cold. And the company was outstanding, naturally. And we really haven't had winds this good in a very long time. Here are a few from Grumpy's camera ....

Marty spent some time messing with the bridle on this small Della Porta.	Click on the thumbnail then look closely at the full size image. Jim appears to be anchoring one end of Grumpy's new arch with his head.	Another picture of Grumpy's arch without the human anchor.

This kite always looks great in the sky!	Envious (left) and george (right) are trouble lookin' for a place to happen.	Envious is trying to "cozy up" to Jim's new rok but she looks a little skeptical of his intentions.

	Beauregard hasn't flown this well at FLP in a very long time. Looks like he enjoys the cool air.
