pwmeek Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 It's 3:00 pm and I finished my other stuff early. I'm at the Demo field right now, where conditions are not optimal. Occasional drizzle and light to variable winds prevail. Dunno what your schedule is like, but I can either amuse myself for a while, or we can try this another day. I'll check back in 30 minutes --at about 4. Sent from Pete's iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewrbrown Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Rain stopped. Wind 6 to 12. I'll give it another 15 before heading home. . Pete, I'm probably not going to make it out till about 6 PM. I might stretch it to 5 if I push things. I'm sorry to hear you are out there alone!!! I hope it wasn't a miscommunication on my end. It's raining here in Northville now, but has been on and off all day. If you are still up for flying, I'd love to join you. By the way, I PM'ed you with my cell number. Feel free to call. I'll be a bit more responsive than through the forum. Thanks, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmeek Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 4:27; rain is back. Let's give up on this one, and try again(unless someone posted while I was 1-fingering this) Sent from Pete's iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmeek Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Pretty miserable here at the moment. I think I'll call it a day. We'll plan this better next time - better weather, anyway. Sent from Pete's iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewrbrown Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Pete, I still cannot make it out yet as my son is not home yet (should be any time now). Depending on how you go home, and if you are still up for a last ditch attempt, you could swing by Northville and we could fly here. The sun came out and wind picked up slightly. Let me know.

pwmeek Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I made it home (cross-country, through S. Lyon, to avoid rush hour on X-way - big mistake). I've been up since 4:30 this morning and spent the first part of the day getting rained on and climbing in and out of boats. I finished early, and instead of going home and getting some rest and dry clothes, I went straight to the park. (Another mistake.) I was just too tired to stay for another hour. We will get organized and make this happen, but it will have to be another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwmeek Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 We will. I spent a few minutes with a full-sail 1.5 and 30' lines, but with the flukey ground winds, it wasn't much fun. Laziness again; I just didn't feel like walking out 120s. One other characteristic of this park: the ground is ROCK HARD below the few inches of turf. I had to get a mallet from my kite bag to sink my stake more than a few inches. I think a very thin stake with a big handle will be required.
