| Well guys, I am making my call now. My weather.com shows 40% Thurs, 50% Friday, and 60% Saturday! So instead I will be going to my local model show with some tanks... You can find the info on facebook at AirCadCon.
$5.00 to get in and $2.00 per exhibit. Should be a busy show! _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..." Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov
Too many tanks, not enough time....

| Saturday is down to 40% with ~1mm, the most wet day being Friday.
I personally don't mind coming down, even if the field is uncut considering the weather the day prior. It's good to get together anyway, and the tanks will still roll even if combat isn't 'perfect'
We can do some trimming in the AM if we want to go that far anyhow.
We've had 40% days where we literally saw 3 raindrops. I'm still in unless the call is made otherwise. _____________________________________________ Tiger I - Panzer II - Panzer III - Panzer IV - Chi Nu Kai - Panther G - KV-1b 756(r) M4A3(76) Sherman - T-34/85 - M3 Grant - SECRET PROJECT

| The grass is too long, and wet, we cannot cut it and cannot operate tanks on it at that length, we will try for the weekend of the 25th. _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

Forgot that is on the 25th. We may have to roll the dice and hope for one more opportunity in the 1st weekend of Nov. _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

I will followup with my mower, set to cut close and then hope my leaf blower starts so I can use it to tidy up. _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

My Weed Eater has died and is comfortably resting at the Bridge St. recycling site. I have been so far unable to find a cheap new one. Wayne |

Sorry guys, I can't be there. We have our fall motorcycle club get together and the wife has been giving me the evil eye so I must go. she is letting me away with Ajax while she has to work all day so I guess I can't complain to much... _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..."

I know what you mean, since I traded to the BMW F700GS a year ago, the call of the motorcycle is strong for me. There's a bit of a conflict for me too, Sunday forecast sounds great for riding, but fortunately for me, so does Monday, so I have booked a vacation day The weather has been pretty good compared to last fall (except for precip. when we want to hold a meet). _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."

| The field has been cut.
Thanks, Wayne, for making "the first pass" yesterday.
I made the final short cut today.
The grass clippings were heavy and I tried to sweep them with a leaf blower, with some success, but if anyone wants to bring a leaf rake tomorrow that might be helpful. _____________________________________________ "Luck favours the prepared!."
