What's going to be the hot day to be at the field?  What's the plan? 
Although it's not scheduled as a fun fly I predict fun fly like turn outs.
Bring out your planes, leave your politics at home and have some fun!
Yea 400W/lb should about do it.. But wouldn't a nice round 500 be better?

Sunday, also known as "oven roasted chicken breast day" to the Subway fans on the board, is going to my best bet. Just got to keep the wife from making more plans for me...

Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory.

I plan on sneaking out, probably Saturday.

Shhhh, don't tell Les (my wife!)

And here I was, about to maiden my new GWS Politic. I guess in the spirit of cooperation I'll bring it some other day.

Can we bring the small BBQ?  I can get some dogs and burgers...  If we can get some pop and stuff, it will be fun...

What is the forecast like, after the downpoor now.. I heard it might rain this long weekend.

Our motto is "Have fun. Be safe. Be courteous."

My opinion is that if you are careful, operate the BBQ safely and then tidy-up afterwards, there should be no problem.

Rain forecast on Sunday (grumble, grumble).

Weather wise Saturday is looking like it might be the best day. I'm considering bringing the mobile rest room facility's if the weather looks good!

I cleaned up the garbage from the fun fly last time.. We should be OK with keeping the place clean.  I will bring the camper if needed also.

I can only spend one day flying as I have been lacking on VW bus duty.

Due to changes in (not my) plans I'm going Sunday or Monday now. Although there are still several days left for her to change her mind left.

Friday night will be build night for some planes...

Well, as stated before, due to some stuff at home, I will be there late afternoon Sat.

Monday afternoon?  Weather looks good. List of BS jobs to do is smaller. Wife seems distracted. Should be a go. Anyone else?
