    Hey John & Ken,

    With the high fire danger using a metal blade, or any kind of blade, is very risky and I would not want to be that guy. One of the latest local fires was caused by someone doing weed abatement and it sounded like he was going to be charged for the costs and or fined. The weeds don’t bother the hang gliders, and cut weeds can be a hazard to paragliders if not cleaned up thoroughly, which is pretty much impossible.

    Looking forward to seeing you guys this weekend.

    Thanks for the clarification, Luke. I wasn’t joking, just misunderstood what took place.

    But, but… whose pond is it then? I was under the impression, and I believe many others were too, that the CCR was donated to CSS. Please clarify.

    The trick is to cut them at the beginning of the season before they get too big. When we used to have more active club members it was done every year. If you cut them now the pg’s will have a tough time keeping them out of their lines.

    Thank you, Jana. You have pointed out exactly why we need the sign I suggested.

    How about a sign elaborating more on what is expected when you bring your pet and has been in our site guidelines for years? We shouldn’t bend the rules for the very few that do bring pets.

    Pets must be on leash and supervised at all times. Pet owners will be responsible for any damage the pet may cause.

    Pets are permitted only in the parking lot or on the patio. Pets are not permitted in the landing zone.

    A sign would be nice like we had in the past so people who don’t bring their dogs don’t have to police those who do.

    Well said, Iaroslav. Found this in our site guidelines:

    Pets must be on leash and supervised at all times. Pet owners will be responsible for any damage the pet may cause.

    Pets are permitted only in the parking lot or on the patio. Pets are not permitted in the landing zone.

    Thanks for sharing that, Brian! It brought back lots of good memories of the people and flying.
