    How are the mice getting in? Maybe we should change the combination.

    There’s space for another glider on my shelf. If your glider bag is free of mouse pee and droppings you’re welcome to store it there till the problem is resolved. Just let me know.

    Thanks, David. Hopefully somebody will find the old agendas and minutes.

    That still leave this question. Why wasn’t the ranch agreement signed?

    2019 isn’t that long ago. You’d think president and board members would remember. Did the other 2019 board members believe the agreement was signed?

    There are no MEETINGS AGENDAS AND MINUTES posted for years prior to 2020. Be nice to know why there was no follow through on the near unanimous 2019 membership vote to continue the ranch agreement. Why wasn’t it signed? I believe Dan was president back then. Can he or other 2019 board members please explain.

    “CSS isnt the only chapter to choose alternate  or even no coverage in lieu of RRRG.”

    But, Dan, we could be the only club to do it without notifying membership beforehand. That’s the point of contention. Doing it in secret.

    Don’t change the subject. Look at Jerome’s initial post that started this thread.

    CSS no longer has USHPA insurance.

    Thought the use of half the White X was on the agenda. Could the board discuss it before the next meeting.

    Using half of the White X or some other symbol can let pilots in the air know that folks in the LZ are aware of a downed pilot and help is either on the way or not needed.

    Pilots have cut their flights short only to find out that everything is copacetic.

    Okay, so John Benario informed me that there’s been an update to the update.

    State Route 18 Emergency Repair Project Update

    CORRECTION!!! LANES ARE OPEN NOW!!! Crews were able to finish it earlier than anticipated.

    Sorry for any confusion, hopefully this is a good surprise for all!

    San Bernardino – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) continues repairs on an emergency project at a washout section of State Route 18 (SR-18) near Panorama point between 40th St and SR-138 near Crestline.

    The southbound SR-18 lanes have been closed since December 24, 2021, but will now reopen tonight, January 20, 2022 at approximately 10 p.m. The piloting program will end, and traffic will be able to use the newly fixed road that has been repaved and restriped.

    Crews will continue to work in the area Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. during which time, lane closures may be needed to assist in the repairs that are ongoing. No work will be conducted on Saturdays or Sundays. Remaining repairs include excavation, guardrail replacement, inlet modifications, and plant establishment.

    Need some help finding the other wing?

    Imagine the second descender has to pee.

    Or

    Locate 156. Port till ridge of 100% grade, then (lizard with small legs, minus the K) and follow to where MacAdam first peeks

    In both cases, spread your fingers as wide as you can.

    Ken, that crow may approve but I don’t think this bird does. It appears to be mooning C861C011-0D9D-4364-95E9-7B4C924325B5
