great to see you too, Billy. you brought great conditions with you!

Have there been any updates on this pilot’s condition or official accident report made? Has anyone ascertained whether or not the victim was under the supervision of an approved local instructor since his rating alone isn’t sufficient to fly CSS sites? My daughter was a witness to the impact and several moments prior. She’s made up her mind to NOT do a PG tandem during this visit as a result of trauma of the experience. I’d love to be able to tell her he is recovering and that our club has safety practices in place regarding low airtime pilots.
Thanks for any updates.

The budget- IS WHAT HAS BEEN RAISED FOR THE PROJECT. Not speculating 5-10 years of membership dues, Tom Hanks or Bryan Cranston promises, or a $30,000 door that is not even in the cost estimate, or “rendering”, of what this Starbucks *might* actually look like.
What is the actual tally of funds now?
It will be interesting if yet another “typo” of amp magnitude  is swept under the rug.
love love love the idea of another round of voting.

So professional. Glad we have your “expertise “.  Looking forward to results!
PS already enjoying the shade that’s already there. In fact, I saw you enjoying too!.  Best to you and yours!

Did we ever get any other donations or is our fundraising stopped at ~$13,000? I remember that foundations and footings were estimated to cost $40,000 by Jai Pal when he was commenting on some of the other submissions. But now the project has begun with less than half that amount raised? The finalization of the voting process was supposed to trigger heaps of cash donations but so far not much. I guess now it’s “if you build it, they will come….”
We should have deadlines in place for fundraising, and if $$ in fails to meet the deadline, perhaps a more practical option could be a fallback. My fear is we wind up with a stalled project that basically cock blocks an actual shade solution. Thankfully we have a 20×20 piece of shade but when the Santa Ana’s blow again that will need a new cover. And if the guy who built that temporary shade is banned from the club, it might be tough to get him to sew another.
I’m also curious about who is actually going to BUILD this Taj Mahal. Do we have a builder? What are doors, windows, electric, and plumbing going to cost? Some of these items are lacking in the estimate.

This is what I use

I have a cap on one end and a plug on the openable end.

No! It’s gratis. I’m trying to guess how many will be present to buy enough food. Any guesstimates appreciated!
