Awesome winds!

It's 8ft (245cm). It's my favorite 2-line stunt. I have an original Illusion but it's well worn so I don't fly it anymore. I have a 10m traction and a landboard when the wind is right. I've done a brisk 25mph down the beach. Lucky there were few people wandering about, even if I'm pretty good at flying a kite while steering a skateboard...yes I know it's subjective, unless you smack someone into the surf...that's pretty objective-oriented...imo...theoretically.

We are renting a house with that view for a couple of weeks. It would be great to live at the beach again but oceanfront places around here cost stupid amounts of money, and it's too crowded in the summer.
We've had temps in the 70s (topped 80 one day) and a deserted beach for two weeks. Perfect.

You are definitely getting your money's worth out of that rental. Perfect timing on weather and population. When I retire, the wife and I want to chase 50 degree nights and 70-75 degree day temps across the country. That is the perfect weather IMO.We are renting a house with that view for a couple of weeks.

That sounds like a great plan! Sharing goals is an important ingredient to a strong relationship. We always threatened to live on a boat and sail from port to port. We've modded that design just a tad over the years to account for the wear and tear of our experiences, but that can be expected
I'll have a few waiting when I get home. An old projector tube amp, a couple of aircraft tube amps, and some others. Stay tuned, or suffer poor tone.

PSA from Fig Labs....
It has come to my attention that some of the relay PICs that were distributed are blank [gasp!]
I know, I know, and I'm really bummed about it. Here's my plan...
I'm going to build one of these pedals (well, hopefully all of them eventually but that's not the point)...this will allow me to test the functionality of the programming. Then I will send out replacement chips to anyone needing them. Please don't mail the blank ones back. The postage would be much more than a blank PIC.
In hindsight, I should have verified the pcbs and included components before sending them out. I am really sorry about this.
Thanks for reading. Once again, if this bum sent you a bum chip, let me know.
Now go build something!

Not if you sell Heating and Air equipment for a living! But, yeah, I could dig those temps year-round preferably with low humidity too!

Whoa, where did you get those cool looking red Tantalum caps?Okay, I've got this populated. The only substitute is a 2u2 box in place of a 3u3 box and a 2N5246 rather than a J202, so no biggies. I have to program the chips before testing, but I'm going to try a blank as well. Thanks for your patience.
