yes, life is great, first hurricane of the season! Alberto. it is hitting us right now, I live on the west coast of Flordia. right where the hurricane is hitting us. last season me and friends made a sail and used it on skate boards in parking lots, very fun. cops on patrol for looting showed up and were like, dude thats awsome and dont hurt yourself, when they left we did donuts in trucks for 1/2 hour. :D. parking lots are empty, city is evacuated, life is good. probly for the next few days me and friends will be living in our bathing suits skim boarding downtown being towed behind an atv, paintballing in the streets, blaring music, mudding, and much much more. We get crazy speed with the sail, wind gust expected 50+mph. currently 20ish. :D :D :D :D

Try a kite with your skate board.

I thought about making an Air-Car, just like the airboats with the big fan on the back but with wheels, I could make it amphibious for my lake. Would I need a license for that?

im not sure depends on where you live. we tried a kite...we got it up and like 10 seconds later the line snapped....we were left holding the spool like...$hit. was so funny. But the storm has passed, didnt have fun in this one, but more to come im sure. Yeah that sail is awsome, but we cant steer it :(

Putt the sail in a cup, like on surf boards, that way you can steer them, (i guess). The storm is gonna skirt us today, Wensday the 14th, in Maryland. We need the rain, but not the wind. With the flat area you have down there, you should be measureing spud gun shots. How many block's can you shoot a patato?

dang sounds exciting down there. I live in a city by Cincinnati Ohio and there is nothing cool to do here. in the occasional hail storm me and my friends will see how long we can stand outside barefoot and take hail in the back the longest. thats about as exciting as it gets.
