Today was a good day. Beautiful weather. Low clouds in the AM then clearing. Total of 12 flights mostly training and retraining. I managed to scrape out 1.5 hrs in 39E. Thanks to Mark for towing.
Next day will be Thursday. At this time we expect lift to 6k, thermal strength 4kts and winds 300@11or so.

Saturday was half work and half fly. 5 flights and mowing, glider work and tie-down work. Sunday looks decent, reply and sign up now!
So much for forecasting. Two pattern tows with Animesh which he handled very well then we shut down due to excess wind. Try again tomorrow.
Thursday was a good day at 55LL. 11 flights total with John B taking 3 pattern tows and a 1:15 soaring flight. Well done! John L of course lead the day at 5:28 and John D flew 2:48. There were a couple of others but their names were not John. HOWEVER John S was our tow pilot today.
See you all tomorrow!
