Not that you all care much... but there was powder a-plenty up
at the old hill. At least 3 new inches between when I parked at
10am and when I left, 2-ish.

Varied from really low vis to whiteout, snowing the whole time.
Windy, drifting.

Lovely weather.

F'cast for more.

Well according to John, it was epic...a big blue hole moved over them, 14-18 mph
wind, with 8" fresh snow.  DOHO

Heading up today for sure, got about 3" at my house so I'm guessing Camas got
more.  Road looks open at 6:30  with headlights visible on camera 1.

Saturday looks good as well.

Trying to depart at noon.

Subject: [snowkiteidaho] If you love em, Leave em!!!!!

J mac and Chris, 

If you love your dogs, LEAVE THEM HOME!  They were both all over the road, nearly getting creamed several times each.  It is grossly irresponsible take a dog  to a highway and just fucking leave it.  YOU brought it out there, YOU baby sit it.  You can’t just go kiting off into the sunset saying “you kids be good!”

We ALL have dogs, we ALL leave them at home because we know they can’t keep up with kiters for very long, and they require too much supervision.

Please return the leash to J Jordan.  His wife, Kathy, was in the parking lot.  She put them in her car for a while earlier after they each had four close calls. She didn’t know what to do about them. When Steve and I quit they were walking back and forth across the road, sometimes standing in the middle, completely oblivious to the cars railing on their brakes.  Fortunately, we found the leash, or you might’ve finished your perfect kiting day with a little road kill surprise waiting for you when you came in.  Wouldn’t that just suck.  Or worse, what if I, or someone else, had to deal with your dead, or even worse still, not dead yet dog lying in the road.  What the fuck are we supposed to do?

Man, I’m pissed.

What a day!!!  incredible everything...like riding on whipped butter, perfect
wind, and sun-burnt face.  Yesterday was the best I've had in a long time.


Today is starting off slow...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the thermals
kick in this afternoon.  If so it should be good from 2 until dark.
unfortunately the lapse rate is on the wrong side of the scale for good
thermals, but it looks really good at 14,000ft, but an inversion at 8,000 is
slowing things. Maybe it will break up.


I'm going regardless leaving around 1-2.

To J Clive & Kathy--

Thank you for your concern and action regarding the dogs, it is appreciated. I
will get your leash back to you hopefully today if I see you, otherwise give me
a call at 850-9481.

To Darrel--
As for gross negligence and reckless behavior, thanks for your ridiculous and
hyperinflated statements. Dogs always get in the road, this is what they
do--other than licking their balls, humping butts and marking their territory to
bring the vulgar to your level. How many times can you say F in one post? My
guess is you don't have dogs that are more wolf than domesticated canine and as
such you wouldn't have a clue what these types of dogs need on a daily basis
(tons of vertical exercise in snow) and as such makes you extremely unqualified
to comment about their safety.

If they were in your way or tangled your lines I apologize, but to go off in
such an emotionally charged way is unnecessary. Who asked you to do anything?
Sure as shit if you would of called my dog he would of run away, he dislikes
dangling Kooks as much as I do.

SuckaFree since '83
j.mac

Darrel,

While the cybersphere can sometimes seem a good place for a rant, this situation
proves the context and meaning of a well intended comment can be drastically
misperceived.

In no way did I mean to offend you personally, I just felt this was something
that could have been addressed on the scene and in person rather than in an
f-bomb fueled email blast. TO be absolutely clear, you were right from the
get-go and had I known the devastation you've witnessed thanks to careless
drivers and/or careless dog owners I would have phrased my comments differently.

I think your statement 'Particularly dogs who have so willingly given themselves
to us people, accepting us into their pack, and appointing us as the leader. 
The least we can do as honor that by leading with integrity and with our
companions' safety and well being foremost in our minds,' pretty much sums up
the responsibility we have to our dogs as owners and caretakers. It's something
I haven't had to give much thought to b/c I've never lost a best friend or seen
him lose a leg. Definitely something to keep in mind, especially given the way
we see drivers handling that section of Hwy 20--i.e. 85 mph on the
straightaways.

Let's let bygones be BYE and GONE and Get Our Kite On!
