early rain, then sun, sun, sun4-5k westFlying all morning with great friends, I missed the Wolf and Sheep demonstration so I will depend upon the fat kid to fill this part in. I understand Jeff did great while in representing NFKA in public, which somehow surprises me a bit, but I believe it and that Johnny and Basir were perfect wolves and that lots of kids chased down lots of free paper kites after the cuts.
Novice Shortline Competition 13 flyers ages 12 thru 60+ had a hoot flying single elimination, best 2 of 3 pointsmild and very kindly winds blew for the novice group to help hone their competition skills.
My apologies to Donna about the morning hornitos I told her a shot might help fortify her for the days competition but I lied and her legs turned kinda wobbly-like. Fun to watch, though and, although Patsy declined the offer of such false courage, the fumes were powerful enough to dislocate her normally keen senses and she failed to win for the Gipper this day.

Oh, yes remember Richards public indian / buka challenge? accepted first by Chuck and then by Bruce via the Topica list. do you remember that silly man vowing he would beat anyones buka to death on the flying field and prove unquestionable indian dominance over all stupid little square kites? I'm sure everyone has been holding their breath in anticipation of the results.
First off, once face to face with actual disaster on the beach and not mere virtual disaster in cyberspace, Rich said he couldnt afford to pay off with that bottle of hornitos if he lost cause he was going to Taipei to fight the Chinese and he couldnt even afford to buy damp used manja for the trip. That's when Chuck told him where to stick his indian.
Well, never a man to slink away from suicidal behavior, right after the Novice competition, Rich digs out his yinny-yangy kite and calls Bruce out on the indian / buka challenge. Bruce accepted this public challenge as if he didn't care about any stinking hornitos ( which we all know is not true ). Its just that Bruce liked the idea of whomping Richard real good first and then worrying about any additional payoff later.
It was all over in a flash. a mere blink of an eye. slit, slash, smash, whomp, whack, stomp dead meat.

Playing his dead meat role to perfection, Richard accepted complete buka dominance over his vanquished indian on properly bended knee, with great humor, and many kind words. at least that's what we think he was muttering through his battered and swollen lips as we left the field. whatever, good work Richard. you made us smile and giggle even more than necessary and we love you for it.
