Patience is a Virtue.

Well the season isn't carrying the momentum we hoped for after getting a jump start back in freakin November.  People are running around spouting "global warming" assuming these last two unusually warm months are because the Earth is getting warmer.  But we've been noticing that the spring months have been colder the last few seasons so it appears to me to be a shift in the seasonal cycles. At least that's what I'm going to keep telling myself.  Otherwise I might become suicidal at the thought that my snowkite seasons might be getting shorter. I've been playing with various Arcs that I haven't had much time on and cruising on my Coyotes (off road skates) as a substitute for skis and snow.  The Coyotes are actually a hell of a lot of fun but I use them rarely because they dig in a lot if the ground is a little soft and I don't want to tear up anyone's fields. But when the surface is firm they're a hoot. Mo and Jo Molly and...

Low Speed and High Tech Pt.1.

Alright, so I've fallen miserably short of my goals for getting a blog entry in for each week in November.  I was all hot and bothered but some distractions popped up and I had to prioritize a little.  I had resigned myself to the fact that I would have to do short blog entries to meet my goal and in my defense I started several but as anyone who ha ever read this nonsense knows I prefer to drone on forever.  Short and sweet is not my way.  Save that sort of writing for the damn Twitter stuff.  I have a Twitter acct. by the way and I have yet to do a tweet.  I just haven't seen the point yet I guess.  I mean who gives a crap if "I just walked the dog!" or "I just bought new socks on sale!" or "I just had a prostate exam!".  Really, doe's anyone need to know or even care. Maybe my assessment is a little broad and superficial but when I hear that Kim Kardashian has over 5 million twitter followers I find it a little annoying.  If she co...

Happy New Year!!!!!

Happy New year everyone!!! Molly and the 24m Phantom 2. New Years Chocorua Well, I'm happy to say that our kite season here in Northern New England kicked off before the new year did.  It's still a little "touch and go" with the wide temperature swings but it is ON!  Monday of last week was the first day on Umbagog and the first on ice for me this season. It's never a good feeling to be out on the ice for the first time, wearing a PFD and hoping to hell you don't go swimming.  Especially in light winds. But it was a good feeling ot be out. A few days later we got some rain followed by a cold front.  Cleared out most of the snow and set up the ice for some great high speed cruising. We got a day where the winds were nukin' so I decided to take a spin down and see if Chocorua was and good yet.  The wind must have been a lot more North than NW because when I got to Chocorua it was dead calm.  Wind was blowing everywhere BUT Chocor...
