      I will come out if there is an instructor available.  Guessing 12:00?  If earlier let me know.

      Today’s (Monday Labor Day) weather is looking better than the last few days as far as lift goes. SkySight is showing lift to 5000 feet starting around noon with possible Q’s. Winds are supposed to be out of the south/southwest around 10kts with some possible gusting.  High temps around 92 so, it will be hot. Bring drinks!

      Unfortunately, I couldn’t come today because my friend is celebrating their 50th birthday in Wisconsin. But tomorrow (Tuesday), if the weather is suitable for flying, I would be available around noon.

      Hello:

      Summer was still showing us that it is able to have a breezy and over 90*F day with sun and some puffy clouds.

      We had 8 flights today.  D J Spenser and Dave Winters each took 2 instructional flights with CFI Grillo.  Nick Legenza and John Scott towed.  John DeRosa (OHM 1 hr 29 min), Jim Bob (1-26 2 hrs. 4 min), John Scott (PW-5 1 hr 13 min) and Rich Walenda (2-33 31 min from 2 k tow)  took solo flights.

      Greg T. was the Ground Safety Officer .  We took turns as wing runners and glider retrievers.

      It was a nice day.

      Regards,

      Rich
