How did our sausage sizzle go today?
Went for a fly yesterday afternoon. I dragged a couple of orange bollard thingies towards the fences, to be orientation markers for helping with landing approaches. The one down the southern end looks ok, but I'm wondering if a white one would have stood out better. The one down the northern end, well it's down there but you can't see it. It looked ok when I put it there because I could see the pilot's box, but from the pilot's box you can't see it. Orange that low to the grass (and curve of the surface) made it a futile attempt... I was too thirsty and pooped to go back and shift it again.
I'm wondering if we could make a stack somehow, to be a better visual reference, as one on it's own doesn't stand out much. It is better than one of those pylon poles at that range though. Have a look and talk about it tomorrow.
It was great to look in the sign-in book yesterday and see so many names for the day. It's great that we're using the field once again.
We have pylon racing on the third Sunday this month. We will have to operate under a COVID-safe plan. We're almost there, just some extra signs needed, such as path in and out of the clubhouse and maximum numbers in certain areas, such as the clubhouse.
I'm going to have to put the following rule in place and ensure that it is enforced. During this COVID thing, only one person is to use the porta-loo at a time. If someone is in there, please wait outside for your turn... It's a social-distancing thing...

Everyone knows that REAL ENGINES are used by REAL men. Eklectic motors are best left for use in toothbrushes and other unnecessary things.
