Any evening the wind's down I'll take one of the foamies out front and fly a few batteries out. The cars driving by just LOVE it when you do blenders right on top of them...

It's hard to beat flying in hotel lobbies though.

Yup... almost every night when I'm in town... just before the sun goes down the wind dies and then it's foamy mania! My neighbors look foward to the "show". I even got one on a buddy box.

I have 100% tree cover in my 3 acre yard. It is a real challenge to go in and out of the trees keping her under 8 foot
