Jeff W. and myself will be out attempting to build a large kicker around 10 AM. Anyone who believes bigger is better is welcome. I'll have extra shovels. You won't have to send it -just jump it!

I have to stay chained to this desk all day...... :oops:

Looks like the afternoon will be set up for a nice sesh.

I am going to try and make it out as soon as possible after work, and into the evening.

I have an idea that i wanted to try out tonight.
I bought a pack of those skinny glow sticks and was going to tape them onto the lines right under the bridles.

Will this have any affect on the way the kite flies????
Just another idea to try and up the safety factor for night sessions.

Here's what a few of us have been using on our kites. Ace Hardware in White Bear has them. You can clip them to your bridle. I've been using them for a couple of season's and have not had any issues:
