Texas Weather

I Love this time of year. It's the changing of the seasons to come and the weather in Texas is even more chaotic than usual. One day it will be almost 80degrees and, that night...... It will freeze lol. It reminds Me of the desert....... You spend all day Hot and You spend all night trying to stay warm. The most beautiful thing to Me is the clouds. You never know what you will see from one day to the next, yesterday the clouds were crazy high......with a few small clouds whipping by underneath them. They were at such an altitude that it would almost give you vertigo. The day before that.....the clouds were low, it felt like you could reach up and touch them. My morning run was nothing but fog as the clouds rested right on the tree tops, by mid morning.....there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The weather it seems has ADD lol

I've studied wave dynamics and patterns extensively. And there's really no better example of the transfer of energy than weather. It's always fun to watch a cold front travel across the united states, it's like a story unfolding. My friends up north will tell me how they are being hammered by sleet, snow, rain or wind..... And I know it's just a matter of hours before I feel it. Afterwards, my friends on the coast will tell me how they feel it's effects. It really is amazing.

All the equipment has been checked, double checked, triple checked..... So why am I so nervous? Maybe because I'm about to strap a lawnmower engine to my back and strap that to a huge kite. It's been a long time since I have piloted this type of craft and I'm going through all that experience in my mind...... And although I look calm on the outside, I'm about a scared as I get.

I am a man who usually doesn't rely on engines of any kind to propel me through my adventures, engines have the tendency to fail. This a highly undesirable situation when you are in flight. I have been a Kite Pilot for many years now......so even if this engine quits on me, I will simply glide down. So why am I so nervous?

Because its scary. Every single time.

It's scary and that's why I do it.

As soon as there is lift off.......the fear turns into pure Happiness, flight like this is So amazing. An absolute rush to the senses. Being so open and exposed makes for a very powerful sense of vulnerability......it's beyond words. It is Awesome.

We flew most of the day and the weather could not have been more perfect. You simply do not get days that beautiful in January. We took turns piloting the Paraglider and small kites with Kiteboards.........the differences between the two are dramatic.

What a perfect day!
