Junior and I walked over to the field this afternoon for a fly and to check things over - the strip is looking very good. The patch at the western end in the middle of the runway has dried out (you can walk right through it now), but there are still large areas off the southern edge which are holding water.
We're going to go over there tomorrow afternoon and mow the runway down nice and low, using the grass-catcher to dump clippings off to the side. It'll take a while, but will be perfect when we finish it. Anyone else who wants to touch-up the taxiway, pits, carpark, heli practice area, whatever ... can do so on Thursday, but the runway should be ready for Friday morning at the very least.
