I was about to pack the mower and head down to give you a hand Steve, but the sky has gone black and its making lots of rumbling sounds... it doesn't look good at all... so you will be Robinson Crusoe...

Thank you men, appreciate the effort.

Sorry I couldn't get down to help out today men, I had an ISSUE at work and didn't get out of the place till after 6pm.

I can't make it today... stuck at work with isues!!! Have you got any details on the mower Frank? Where is "up the road"? Can you get:- Make, Model, Age, Cut diameter, Physical size/ dimensions et...

What time are you planning on mowing Jason. Depending on work, I might be able to come down for a few hours.

Looks like we might need to have a little working bee and get ALL of the other club members involved. We don't ask much after all, so I think we might need to get everyone down to the field as soon as...

It should last a bloody long time Jason. Have you seen the price on the website since the introductory sale finished. I was going to get one but missed out on the sale. They have gone up in price...

Nice work as always Steve. Seems everytime you hit the field lately, I am unable to help due to work commitments. I'm sure all the club members appreciate your support ... and if they don't... I am ...

Thanks guys.

That definately looks the goods Jason... I might just have to get one myself... at that price its a steal! I went online this afternoon to buy one but the price has gone up but $400... Oops !!! It...

I have just arrived home from work and it did not stop absolutely bucketing down all the way home. The field will be a no go for this weekend. Might try and get a fly in out west on Sunday.

Thanks for the effort men, it is very much appreciated.

Big thanks for the effort as usual Steve. Does anything else need the once over? If the weather is kind I'm happy to come down at the preverbial sparrows fart tomorrow morning early if it needs it.

All we have to do now is get ride of the the bull rushes so we can start reclaiming the main runway. We will speak to Parramatta council about it first, if we get no joy from them we will have a chat...

Thats not good enough Wayne. I think you should go out and buy one, as a matter of fact...why don't you buy a ride on? :D

Yes indeed, thanks Steve, I would come and help, but I dont have the luxury of 26 weeks holidays a year working (and I use that term loosely) in a capitalist tyranical draconian teaching job........ g...

Steve I will join you Friday. What time are you mowing

I droped by the field this morning about 10.30 and I was quite surprised how well it has drained. There are a few puddles on the strip in the usual places but with this afternoons wind and a little s...

No probs mate, Fridays good for me. Should be there about 3 pm.

I am planning on mowing tomorrow afternoon on the way home from work, any assistance appreciated. I will be there a little after 3pm.

Mowing this morning cancelled.

You D man Pete Thanks for the effort. I was just about to post and say that I am not mowing this afternoon... its just too bloody hot. I was going to give it a hit first thing tomorrow. Does it ne...

Thanks Chris, The forcast for today is a bit of a scorcher so I think I will leave it till around 5.30 and finish the field off as it starts to cool down. Gazz

Thanks for the update Chris. STEVE any chance you could give me a heads up on the field condition? I recon the heat today should have just about fried the field good and proper, even if you don't le...

The strip is in dire need of a good trim, I hope to give it the once over on Friday afternoon around 3.30, If anyone else has the time to assist please post and let me know. I will post Friday aftern...

Can I use a really big feather?

The field is fine Steve. I just got home from a great morning fly with a few other members. The big hole opposite the pilots box has a bit of standing water and a few small spots on the strip are da...

You got that in one "sunshine" pardon the pun, a little rain we have had. Now it just needs to "piss off"!!! so we can have a great weekends flying.

Excellent work Steve Thanks for the effort!

Did anyone get a chance to give the strip a mow!

Dont bother Wayne, the we did more than enogh yesterday, just fill your car with flying machines.

Indeed, a big thanks to all those that came down to the field for this afternoons working bee, Kev and I attack the mulga and started building a new cross strip, early days yet but it looks prommising...

Thats great news. I have my Trimmer in the back of the van as well because Kev is meeting me to attack some of the thick stuff, but by the looks of things I will be able to do the strip as the rest is...

I am hoping to give the rest of the field a mow tomorrow afternoon from 3pm. My mower doesn't go tht low Steve so I might leave the main strip to you and I will do everything else. I will take my mo...

Did anyone drop by the field today and see how it faired after this morning downpour? I was going to stop by this afternoon for another few flights with the new Seb but it was blowing more than I l...

I droped by the field today on the way home from work to check out how the strip faired after last nights deluge, because I wanted to maiden my new Sukhoi 50. I am happy to report that although the s...

Hey Steve You D Man!!!! I guess I wont need to pack my mower tomorrow then eh?

Pete You must have missed me by about 3 minutes. I left at about 3.40 after having 2 flights of my new Stuka. I agree, the field does look pretty good. The whole thing needs a good haircut though....

Sorry I can't drop by and help you guys but my schedule this week is off the ricker. Thanks for the effort.

Yeh! That would be Fuc%K&ng right. First Saturday for over a month the strip might be OK for my big planes and I have to bloody work................ SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!!! I am happy to take ove...

Nice work Steve. Thanks a lot for the effort.

Thanks guys, I figured as much! George I will give you a ring when and where, will probably be Sunday at PEMAC as I have a few things to fine tune tomorrow to be happy (you know what a pedantic prick...

Has anyone per chance dropped by the field to see what state it is in for the weekend? I want to maiden my Seagull Super Tucano and will have to go out to PEMAC if the strip isn't in great shape.

Well lets hope the weather guru's have got it right.. FOR ONCE.... because that outook is the best rainfall forecast I've seen in 2 years.

Thanks for the update Steve, all be it sad news!

Yep thanks for the update Chris. Sad news.... looks like its another drive to PEMAC.

Has anyone droped by the field and had a look at its condition. Ive beeen flat out all week and haven't had a chance, It will probably need mowing, I know it grows slowly this time of year but we hav...

Yes I agree Steve. It would appear that the drain cleaning done by Chris and the brush cutting is helping with the field drainage. I was quite surprised that the strip had recovered as well as it has...

I will take my mower to work with me tomorrow so I can come straight to the field to give you a hand Steve. I should be there a little after 3.
