So we were helping a friend get started with body drags. Having so much fun I didn't keep track of number of kites we drug out to beach. That said it is my oldest RPM but it still had some life in it. Thanks Kevin for heading back late evening to look. Hoping I can pay it forward someday.

Sorry, did not grab your RPM. Does anyone know if that guy ever got his car out of the river?

It has been found and it is in my shop at Jones. They are picking it up today. Andrew found it and gave it to me so props to him

Yeah he finally got pulled out! The explore even started and he was able to drive home. Amazing it would run after the double ship tsunami wave went clear up to the windows and actually lifted the back of the SUV up and nearly pushed it forward ! Shocked

Glad he got out okay.

So, No good deed goes unpunished. Maybe not?

I got to Jones beach Sunday with my waverunner. First thing, guy asks me to look for his lost board. No problem... 15 minutes or so... good deed #1. I still had a great session. Then I got my explorer stuck pulling the waverunner out. I call up my son and he comes out with the Land Rover / winch and does his own good deed. We go in to ixtapa in clatskanie have a nice meal. Another guy posts up NWKite left 8m rpm at Jones. I call him up say hey i'm still close I'll go take a look. I didn't find the kite but I did find someones red sweatshirt and grabbed it (if you lost it I have it.). Good deeds #2 & #3. Then on the way home my son tried to avoid a downed branch covering 60% of the road, hits a guard rail and flips my Rover. Totaled... but he walks away with one very small scratch. So, if the good deeds we do are followed by these small punishments, I'm OK with that. I will gladly save all the Karma for my Son walking away from that unhurt.

Life's Good! I'm waiting for the tow truck to drop off the rover then I'm going kiting. 6m at home today. WooHoo!
