Anyone know where we can get a supersoaker used at the cricket ?

Didn't have a look at the field today, but I imagine it will be pooled again. Willy says rain until Wednesday so my first Thursday off & ready to do a mow, that might not even be possible. Gazz has ha...

Visited the field for a looksee about 3pm today, rain since yesterday has filled my birdbath at home but has made no impact on our field. Not even our usual sopts have any pooling & the strip is solid...

My thanks go out to Pete & ChrisM, they have been regulars in the mowing regime. I know others also assist (with thanks) but these 2 guys are legends. Although not strictly every 2 weeks, I will comm...

I rang Gazz this morning to advise that there was clear access to the field and asked him to post that advice. Unfortunately I had not given clear advice (sorry Gazz). Although there was rubbish at th...

The dumping of rubbish at our front gate is starting to become a regular event, and I believe we have a catch 22 situation. If we get it cleared on a regular basis by council, it will encourage more ...

Litter is always a bit of a problem for us and not just carried in rubbish from floods or late night party animals at our field. I had a spare plastic drum at home & have taken it for permanent placem...

Took a walk down to the field today to see the result of recent rain. Small puddle at first entry gate, driveway in was firm & able to withstand drive in without sliding. Parking area firm underfoot. ...

Taken while I was setting up the field for flying today. At the Grace end of the strip. I suppose we can thank our lucky stars the they didn't choose centre strip to perform their act of vandalism. I ...

They say Dinosaurs only had brains the size of a peanut. At least they had more brains than the mindless idiots that chose our runway again to practice donuts.

Hi guys apart from the dry gym at Kellyville Wednseday night, 10 days straight rain have made the thumbs itchy and am eager for a fly this weekend. Has anybody had a chance to took at the field since ...

Sorry to ruin the battle of the modes, but has anybody noticed that funny blue stuff overhead with a bright ball in the middle. Willy has forecast more of the same for the next week, hopefully the Lo...

Well done Kieran :lol: Could you turn it into a video, would love to see it land :shock:

Wow, Lake McCoy has appeared again. Althogh we have had ample rain and I expected a soggy field, did not really expect that without a deluge. Did you forget to take your kayak, or maybe this time a ...

Dropped in at the field earlier this arvo and it's not looking too bad after Wednesdays downpour. The usual pooling on the far side of the field oposite the pilot box & Grace end of the runway. 2-3m ...

Willy is showing his demeaner. Nil chance of rain till thursday, 5% chance rain thursday, 10% friday. no forecast for Saturday yet but news indicated rain on Sunday. Much like last weeks forecast. :) ...

Thanx Smuzz, my sentiments precisely. Looks like no flying for me for 2nd consective weekend. Oh well at least Phoenix is dry :D

I know the rain hasn't been all that heavy, I also know it doesn't take much to pool the field to an unfliable condition. Willy also says possible showers tomorrow. I had give up on a Saturday fly, he...

Emotional support eh, you are so kind. Suppose you didnt supply the drinks either, I think you owe Smuzz one of his fancywancy import beers :leet:

I re-iterate the thanks for getting the field ready for flying. Well done guys.

I spoke to the Sydney Water guy who said they tried to turn off main to that water supply without success & would have to wait untill all factories in area closed & would have to shut down water to wh...

Further to Gazza's post on flying this weekend, I have taken a few photos of this weeks curse, being the burst water main & it's affect on our field View of strip from pilot box Walkway to heli ar...

Yes being reserved is the way to go, we wouldn't want to insult the low life vandals would we. Although by there obvious inteligence (or lack thereof), they probably couldn't read what we write anyway...

I feel falsely privileged to be included in the honour role of members who regularly help to maintain our field, but sadly I was not there yesterday and I am mostly only available on weekends to assis...

I am assuming that there is no need for smuzz or myself to come down to field with mowers this afternoon - would I be correct in that assumption? Cheers Chris [/quote] Only if you wish to tackle...

Main strip, pilot box & taxiway all mowed late this morning. Strip is quite soggy Grace end of field and on far side of field but the majority of mowed strip quite firm underfoot and good for a fly. J...

I have the day off today, anybody able to lend me a mower so I can join the mowing brigade

Not rubbish cleared by us from the field, just the handiwork of of some (insert as many expletives you can think of) who think it is a cheaper place to tip rubbish than where it should go. Has been th...

Taken 3.30 today, has only been light rain today but the field is still not a pretty picture

Wasn't intending to belittle your efforts Jason, was a large area cleared for a 1 man show and worthy of praise. What I meant was that it could have been a major difference with many hands on deck.

I only had my whipper snipper to work with today and tackled the longer grass at the Grace end of the runway until the whipper refused to start again. A bit of a waste of time due to the usual pooling...

Jason, if you still intend going to the field this arvo, let me know what time & I will join you with my whipper snipper to lend you a hand & provide some mutual company. A bit of hard labour might ...

I am not scared Mr Big Kahuna, no need to hunt me down. I am always very grateful for the efforts of our mowing brigadeers. Still haven't bought that ride-on but hopefully on occasions I can be presen...

Sad news Chris & with more rain on the way looks like our weekend fly is in doubt.

How about locating their car & giving their rubbush back to them. Unfortunately will have to break a window to get it inside. On a serious note, are we able to report it to council & have them remove...

Hmmm, ride on lawn mower, what about an enclosed trailer with room for the mower & albatross. Better still a pantech & I can also store & transport everybody's planes. What about I buy 10 acres for us...

I think mowing this arvo is attempted suicide. I am more than happy to turn up tomorrow morning at quarter to sparrows fart to assist in mowing but unfortunately I dont own a mower.

Dropped by the field just before 12 to have a Captain Cook at the field condition. With thanks to Chris, the main runway, although mown a bit narrower than the norm, was remarkably dry & firm underfoo...

All the beer & port packed in the car so necessities are prepared

Shame I wont be able to enjoy the fruits of todays labour but am always willing to give thanks when thanks are due. Thanks guys

I offer my vote of thanks as well Smuzz, looking forward to enjoying the benefits of your efforts tomorrow and continue my feelings of guilt for not contributing. Willy is offering light winds but a 2...

Am happy to bring the whipper snipper early tomorrow if needed. Any suggestions which area to attack next.

Great effort guys, appreciated. Dont know if I should be whipper snipping for a while given my disk damage still on the mend.

I have now got my whipper snipper back and my services are available if needed. Although it might be like cleaning an aircraft carrier with a toothbrush. Great effort by Gazz & Kev

Looks like another trip to Culburra Beach (past Nowra) this weekend, for fishing this time & some more work on Margarets mothers house in preparation for sale. Hope you guys get some flying in & hope ...

Dont be in too much of an early morning hurry Gaz, I got there yesterday about 8.30ish and the dew hadnt dried off the runway resulting in plenty of cleaning needed of the underside of my plane

Sorry to be a smartarse, but I predicted the unsuitability of flying planes with wheels at McKoy & headed to Penrith. Closely mown grass on a firm base. Absolutely PERFECT flying conditions for all pl...
