Just want to let all our friends know that Fifty Fifty, the band that Steve and I are in, is having a FAN APPRECIATION celebration this Saturday, August 28 at the Village Inn on hwy 35 in N. Hudson. If you cross the river at 94 just go north on 35 and drive all the way through Hudson, or if you cros...

Man, what a bummer! Glad you're "ok"!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Tom, I'm so glad you're OK! Sounds eerily similar to my kitemare of just over 1 year ago. I was on water, but luckily I was headed to shore and trees. Also, Steve was there in the shallows and he ended up catching my kite before the trees did (while flying his kite.... my hero!). Dragged on your sid...

Hey Adam...nice to meet you Padre. Do I work with your aunt Ginger Murphy???

Whew! For a minute there I thought somebody found my "freebie list"!

Lots of places for sale right now where we live on Cedar Lake near Star Prairie WI. ~ 33 miles to WBL when the Stillwater bridge is open! A few are very nice year round homes, some are cabins. Some friends have a cabin for sale viewable at http://www.cabinoncedarlake.com. Shallow enough out front fo...

BTW, Fastnet Force 10 is about a sailing race between England & Ireland that went very bad with some freak weather conditions. Fascinating from a meteorologic perspective and riveting from a survival perspective. More evidence for Murphy's Law!! You won't be able to put it down. Enjoy!

Fastnet Force 10!!! Sorry don't remember author's name. Worth finding, tho. I'm glad Into the Wild is on your list...very moving, a young man in pursuit of purification, and chanrider, the movie wasn't so bad! I didn't even know it was made into a movie til I saw a show about Sean Penn & the McC...

Could you guys email us at sblain@frontiernet.net? Thanks, Nancy

Hey, Kiteboy! We've been thinking of you and sending positive vibes your way. Can't tell you how sorry we are that this happened to you! Also that the leeches didn't work. Probably the weirdest thing I've "dispensed" working in hospital pharmacies!! I've been missing you on this forum for ...

Man, my heart rate really goes up when I read posts like this!! :shock: One thing I fully intend to do this year is spend some more time practicing releases. We all have days where the wind gets light & we are anxious to get in, get to our coolers, get home...whatever. What a great time to enlis...

my fav......gobsmacked!!!!

Kurt, how do you know it isn't that I've rubbed off on Steve???

(It's a JRN field day for pete's sake!!)

Most often the reds are softer for warmer weather, blue tends to be midrange (10-30) and silver/white for very cold. But, just check the softness of the waxes by sticking a fingernail in them....use the softest one you have for the warm wet stuff. I mean snow JRN!!

Timing could be better...many xc skiers will be either extremely intoxicated or extremely asleep this Saturday by 11 pm !! (Birkie day) I may be both but will try my best to stay up! Sounds like a very cool show!!

I have to admit, I wouldn't mind if the women's course was a bit shorter than the brutal full length. Laps sounds good because the support job would be easier and hopefully it would be less likely to get lost out there! JRN- Cedar has a couple of new inches of beautiful snow, hopefully it won't all ...

I grew up near Fond du Lac (and have been happily regressing ever since!! :wink: ). The best way to get there from the Twin Cities is 94, exit at Mauston onto E 82, this turns in to 23 at hwy 51 or Montello. Take 23 all the way into Fond du Lac (go thru Princeton, Green Lake-my home town, & Ripo...

Raincoats are for the little fellow!! (no reference to size intended!!) Kiters must be safety conscious!!

Shopping list:

Summit Pale Ale, and lots of it!!!
