Sprinklers come on at 9:15 pm.
Tim WardGeneral MemberWorks for me.
Tim WardGeneral MemberThe club has a generator in the Gator container.
Tim WardGeneral MemberI find all these posts by David Webb to be highly suspicious.
Tim WardGeneral MemberThat was Dusty Rhodes. A clever visual reminder. But it seems to have fallen on, to mix metaphors, deaf ears.
Tim WardGeneral MemberNo mice caught for several days now.
Tim WardGeneral MemberI think they’d need access to either green stuff or water.
I’m not going to move everything out. Maybe Luke can organize that.
Again, I don’t mind helping from time to time, but I’m not taking on a project that size.Tim WardGeneral MemberI don’t know. When I went to put the traps in, someone had used a nut and bolt in addition to the lock. That didn’t seem to help.
There’s probably a floor drain somewhere. I don’t know what would have changed.
Tim WardGeneral MemberAnother mouse in the trap on Thursday. So far, all have been in the trap on the front left side.
Tim WardGeneral MemberI don’t know how, but one trap took out a mouse and a smaller mouse with one snap.
I reset it.Smells very pepperminty in #2.
Tim WardGeneral MemberOkay. Well, I removed the vegetation in the doors and stuck some traps in every box.
Dusty sprayed a peppermint based rodent repellent around. You’d have to ask him exactly where.
I checked yesterday and no dead mice in mousetraps.Tim WardGeneral MemberNo. I don’t mind doing things to help, but I left the site coordinator job.
Frankly, I didn’t see a lot of mouse droppings, but I wasn’t looking really hard.
There must be a local that has a glider in there that can monitor the mousetraps and reset them as necessary.
Tim WardGeneral MemberOkay. There’s now 4 traps in #2.
I don’t know whose idea it was to bolt one of the handles shut but it didn’t speed things up.
I also cleaned out the weeds that got clamped in the right hand door.
I suspect this was their ingress.
Tim WardGeneral MemberPGs need to be aware that hang gliders circling off the Southeast corner of the LZ are probably blowing off altitude to come in and land — just like PGs blow off altitude zig-zagging over the Ranch, in front of the pine tree.
Once an HG descends into their pattern altitude, it doesn’t take long for an HG on downwind to get to the base leg turn, because they’re going downwind, and generally at a fairly high airspeed.
Just because an HG is some distance away doesn’t mean it’s not a factor in a PG landing.For every pilot: Any glider at your general altitude when you’re starting your approach is likely going to need to use the LZ about the same time you are, even if they seem “too far away” to matter. Might be a little sooner than you, might be a little later, but sink rates aren’t *that* different.
Tim WardGeneral MemberAs an IKEA product, the questions I have are: just how flat does it pack, and do you need a ball end hex key to assemble it?
