When does the picnic begin?

“D” of course because a 45º bank is always the most efficient one. Btw: I was at the field this morning to do some work on my trailer and upon arriving at the entrance the gate was wide open! This was at 8:32. I left at 11:45 with no one else showing up.

Reading John Lincoln’s encounter with corn leaves I did what probably no one else did and that was have a corn leaf wrap itself around the right wing of my HP11-A. It stayed with me for the entire flight but fell off after my landing’s full stop. It was a beautiful October fall day some time in the late 70’s.

Not Aviation related at all!
I came to the field yesterday with the idea to look at my trailer and how safely it is still tied down. To my surprise I noticed that debris like cinder blocks, plywood and sod was dumped right next to my trailer’s front. The pieces of sod came from a newly created trailer tie down area next to mine to the east. Please do not use my tie down area as a dumping ground!

WOW! With all these regulations I’m afraid to show up! Am I allowed to use my favorite hand mower to cut the grass around the trailers which I had done for many, many years about 3x a season? I miss the days like when I made a flight in a 1-26 in Colorado with nobody even asking for my pilot’s license. (true story, 1972)
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!

Why not use some of the soil from along the north side of the runway and by doing that widening it a little to fill in the ditch? The ditch is waiting for an accident!
Dear members of SSI:
I would like to thank all the great members of our club who called me, sent emails, expressing their concern about my well being following my horrific accident a little over a week ago. All I can say is that I am doing extremely well and all my bruises are gone. In fact nobody ever asked me like: Hey, what happened to your forehead etc. What I really feel bad about is damaging our 2-33 Pumpkin rendering it useless for the rest of the season. I hope it will come back soon. Maybe I’m just a lucky being having been born 13th out of 13 children. Right now I don’t know what my future will be like.
Thank you again for all of your concerns for my well being. It is very much appreciated!
Karl
