        Looking at the forecast for this week, through Sunday, it’s looking like this may be the last week of warmer weather to get some flying in.  I would like to get a few members out this week to see if we can get the Krosno and 2-33 in the new hangar or, will it have to be a different combination of gliders.  Then next Saturday I would like to get a crew to disassemble the gliders that will not be going in the new hangar. It may be the last day that we have some warm weather.  It beats dissembling gliders in 20 degree temperatures.  We will still have two gliders available to fly when weather permits.

                Hello:

                Friday:  Sunny, with a high near 71. Light south southwest wind increasing to 5 to 10 mph in the morning.

                Saturday:  Sunny, with a high near 71. South southwest wind 5 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.

                Don and Andy have a good forecast of the weather.  It may get breezy Saturday afternoon.  I may be able take Friday off to assist at the field if there is still a plan to get some work done.

                Regards,

                  As Rich mentioned, Friday would be a great day to get some work done out at the field. There is a big dumpster out at the new hangar with lots of room in it and I was told by Jim H. that we can fill it up. It would be nice to clean out the attic in the Sky Soaring hangar and take advantage of that dumpster.  What do you say we meet at around 10am. Who ever is available to come out and help would be great…Thanks

                    Hey Crew, the dumpster that we were going to fill up with junk has been picked up so, we will call off the work crew for Friday. Still looking for folks to show up on Saturday for flying and maybe disassembly of a glider or two on Saturday.

                        I will be able to help with dis-assembly Sat.Is there still need to “fit-check” 2 gliders,  for possible hanger storage? Is that task needed on Sat?

                                While picking up my trailer yesterday I accidentally drove into a cinder block that was left behind by my neighbor damaging my front suspension. The repair cost? $950.00!!! My word to all trailer owners: Please clean up your tie-down area after you removed your trailers! Don’t leave all your blocks behind! I had enough of this season!
