    I received my copy.  GREAT article by one of our day members about his ride at Sky Soaring!  Art must have made quite an impression. 

    Everyone spot the error?  Oh, well, no one’s perfect.  😉

    Let me be the first to congratulate Erik on his accomplishment of getting his private pilot’s license!  Who will he take up for a flight first?
    And congratulations to Petr on passing the toughest part of his testing, the oral exam!  I am positive that he will do great on the practical exam tomorrow.

    Don plus Mark Mallamo! 

    Mark – It will be good to see you.
    I will be out whichever day others.  How about both?

    I installed the chargers but don’t know about their insides.  I do know that they don’t have a power switch and are basically always “on”.  When plugged in there is an audible click  when plugged into a cart – probably a relay which may have failed.  Could be the cable/connector has gone bad. I can take a look later this week.

    Tim is qualified to speculate on the nature of the universe.  He is a physicist!

    I just got done with reconciling the flight sheets and pay envelopes for Aug 28, Aug 31 and Sep 2.  Pretty darn good I must say.
    Just a few little rants;
    – Couple of people forgot to pay.  One person, who will remain nameless, paid for two flights but forgot the third.  Hmmmm.  Another was an INSTRUCTOR!  Oh well.- Enter information about weather, lost/broken items, and other general news in the “Miscellaneous” box at the bottom middle.
    – The far right hand column can be used for specific details about a particular flight such as “1st solo” or “check ride”, etc.  Congrats to Laurentiu “Lawrence” Nicolae!
    – When paying by check be sure to enter the textual amount in the form of “Thirty Five and no/100’s” with a long dash afterwards so there is ZERO room to write something more “interesting” in the blank areas.  I could have easily made this work a real money maker … for me, that is. 
    – Not sealing the pay envelope makes my life a bit easier.  No biggie.  
    – Good penmanship counts towards my year end approval rating for y’all.  You know who you are.
    I have been making some minor changes to the flight sheet so let me know if there is any way to improve the form. 

    Thanks for doing a good job overall.

    I will be on the field around 11AM.  Any tow pilots?  Looks like a nice (potentially blue) day.

    Nothing has changed at the entrance at this time.   
    I suspect the temporary driveway will suffice for the fuel truck.

    Unfortunately, we would have doubled the yearly cost of the internet connection to get the faster speed.
    However, we are still on Fox Valley Internet and at a fantastic price.  How does FREE (!) strike you?   SSI struck a deal with FVI for free service in exchange for their use of our hangar to broaden their local coverage.
