      Yes, I’ll be out today and
      Wednesday. I’ll  also see if I can get the new member out for a
      couple of flights.  Also, with all the rain we had the grass is
      growing again, maybe we can get some mowing done as well.  16
      flights on Sunday. It was a good practice and training day.

      Monday weather:

      Patchy to areas of shallow fog at outlying airports early this
          morning will dissipate by 13Z-14Z. It's possible RFD has sharply
          fluctuating visibility before that time if some of the nearby fog
          seen on satellite expands slightly before dissipating.
          
          A backdoor cold front will push into far northeast Illinois by 14Z,
          turning winds northeast to east along with a quick uptick to
          around 10 kt. A few gusts to 15-16 kt are possible through the
          morning with this. Along this front will be scattered to broken
          stratus/stratocumulus clouds. Confidence has increased some in a
          period of broken MVFR this morning at ORD and MDW so have
          included in their TAFs. Winds this afternoon will remain easterly
          over Chicago with any stratus lifting to cumulus.
          
          Concentrated smoke from western North America fires is drifting
          high aloft over the area early this morning and likely will much
          of today. This is expected to remain at a high enough altitude to
          not impact any low-level aviation and it may not have impacts to
          aviators aloft either, but just wanted to note that.
          
          Winds will turn toward due south late tonight and be south-
          southwest increasing in speed fairly quickly Tuesday morning.

      Another nice day at the field. Only 6 flights but a productive day as the season counts down. Next scheduled day should be Wednesday.

      I’ll be there as well as Thursday Friday and Saturday. 

      Weather permitting I’ll try to out fly Lincoln 😁 if my bladder can go that long.

      Hello everyone!  New guy here.   I’ll be out there around 10 hoping to get some dual time in and learn the operations.
