Fractured Axel

... you go off for a weekend near your favourite kite-flying field, and you take all your favourite kites with you. And then there's a wonderful, dry, windy afternoon so you say 'great, I'll take the Silver Fox (substitute your own favourite here) up to the field and have some fun!'
And then you realise that, although you remembered to pack the kites, you left behind the bag with your stake, and all your lines, and your handles ...

I do know what you mean

Is that what you are 'reaching back' for?

So I'm at the beach some months ago,surveying the scene and a couple of what I take to be Jehova's-witnesses say hello and ask me if they can be of assistance.
I throw them somewhat by suggesting they go fetch my climax lines from where I had left them on the window ledge.

Been there done almost the same,left line bag in other car.

Ha...always have an "emergency set" in your kite bag pocket.

oops...
