T595 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 OUCH! I now am struggling to move my neck, shoulder & my pride is feeling even lower. Thanks to Griff for holding Martin's kite, same to Martin for getting my bullet out of the thorn bush i managed to land it in & to the 2.1m flyer who also helped, i think i shall be putting the kk's back on ....... If you read this griff any chance i can have a go on your board next time your out? Martin's mbs is way to dicy for me :eek: Ahhhhhh a luverly HOTTT bath awaits....... Might to out to LH tomorrow if i can move or PS, as the winds today there were brilliant!
martin Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 I'm all kited out now, totally knackered. I'll be glad to get back to some decorating:eek:. Have you checked your Bullet for holes? Those thorns are real sharp. (My blood is clean by the way).
T595 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 what you mean move around? do i have to? i'll check it out tomorrow, see if i can transer some of that blood onto a petre dish and see what makes you a good flyer & what makes you tick
martin Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 Are you sore then? My mum always used to say. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall". Seems to be true in your case:p.
T595 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 Are you sore then? /quote] Understatement of the day, although the pain killers i took earlier are helping a lot zzzzzzz;)
T595 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Anyone around later on today at LH? My shoulder and neck feel ok so will (hopefully) be going to LH later on after lunch if the wife lets me out to play
g0nz01599968659 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 We is back:D A good time was had by all:) Photos to follow at some point... we even made it up the Hinter-Tux this year! I'll be out flying at some point this week. Probably Thursday if it looks reasonable for it. Dan
martin Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 I'm off until Fri. I might be out kiting somewhere. In my Sooty mobile:D.
avspider Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Lets see then van then Martin? Does look good for flying for me, next possible day is a week on sat. But I think a Wii is the next purchase for me... for fitness reasons - honest
martin Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Look out for pics of the Sooty mobile in the bar zone later today:D. If you're serious about the fitness AV, try a dance mat. I used to use my kids one & they are a serious work out. Don't forget to close the doors & curtains though;).
martin Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Here's some pics of the van. http://community.flexifoil.com/showthread.php?p=1688398#post1688398
T595 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 I can lend you the engine out of my T595 if you like! A 150mph rascal sounds like a good idea to me! Please paint it, cos damn that's an old man colour... Do you need tie down straps and stuff for it cos if you do i may have some kicking around.....
martin Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 I'm thinking of hanging some straps so i can put my board up high out of the way. I also want to fit my PL in there some where. Trouble is i want to keep the heavy stuff close to the ground.

g0nz01599968659 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 I will be about tomoz possibly if the wind is higher than forecast:rolleyes: Maybe WS. Martin - Nice van:cool: A-Team colours would be good:D
martin Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 PM tomorrow Dan? I've got carpet fitters in the AM. Tell us when you're going down & i'll meet you down there.
avspider Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 I'm hoping for some nice wind sat, as should be able to get out flying sat am/lunchtime. Anybody around?
martin Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 I won't be out the weekend:mad:. Sat here waiting for wind, & i don't mean a good fart.
martin Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 Sotonmet is saying 8knts SW. I'll be there by 1pm:D.
