Aloha means goodbye (and hello)

Saw this today...



This obviously won't stick around for long, but it is a sign of the times. Good times.

Kites!

I spent a few late nights building this guy this week:



It's about 2.7 square meters. I made some mistakes but learned alot. Notice that I didn't take any closeups, there are some rough spots that didn't quite come out how they were supposed to, but it was my first time building something like this, so I deserve a pass on some of the details, right? I still need to do the bridle & rigging, but the kite itself is pretty much done. I can't wait to try it out with skis or a snowboard this winter.

Yeah, I probably should have spent more time moving into our house, fixing the girls' dresser, or any other number of things, but it was a fun project.
