Working on the towplane for the day was Martin Caskey, Jim Rickey & Karl Kunz.  Sergio Grajeda was the 'utility man' helping with the towplane & the weed whacking or anywhere he could, as he usually does.  The weed whacking crew consisted of Mike Paoli, Jeff Richardson, Morgan Hall, Skip Breidbach & Sergio.  

Chanoa cleaned up the front around all the palm trees.  Rick Eason & Kevin Shaw worked to disassemble the Blanik & get it on the trailer with Richard Walker & John Harbick helping loading.  John also picked up all the bags of weed clippings from in front of the patio & loaded them in his truck. 

Richard spent the day cleaning the sink area in the clubhouse in preparation for removal of sink, cabinets and drywall due to mold.  

I didn't arrive until about 10:00 am but spent his time mowing Runway 8 again.  The weeds and grass were still green and four or five inches high.  I also mowed a pathway for the towplane/towrope from the pylon to the runway.  That provides a path for the towrope & towplane so the towplane won't drag the towrope through the weeds.  I left with the tractor in tow about 6:00 pm.

After the work Kevin & Sergio went flying in Kevin's Tarus motor glider for a couple of hours.
