| Stinger brings quite a few and I usually bring some.
I bring my old lawnmower, unless someone else wants to.

If someone has a wheelbarrow or small hand cart and is able to transport it, it may be useful. The weather is still looking good, if a bit too hot.

| Stinger, Fraiserjohn and I spent a few hours at the field today. The temperature was less then ideal, my accurate, electronic weather station in the backyard was registering 102F when I got home  We did a maintenance cut on the grass, I will cut it again just before the July 20th meet. The hills were weed whipped. We improved the bridge installation (the one closest to where we set the tables & tents), now it fits better and can just be dropped in place;  More interlocking brick has been set in the road, this will be an ongoing process for a while;

| A lot of work on a scorching day guys. The T34/85 will appreciate the bricks!  with the blazing heat this week hopefully the grass won't come up too much before Sat. and you won't have any to do before then. Great job guys!

| Great progress, as always a huge improvement. I hope the heat wasn't too bad, even working through tonight it's still muggy and gross out

Thanks, I don't like asking anyone to work on the field at meets, IMHO, they should be "play days" The first coat of paint on the trailer looks great, if you are prepared to give it another coat, that would be greatly appreciated

Just a thought here guys, do we want to put our logo or name on the trailer...concerned about theft and/or vandalism if people think there may be model remote control tanks in there. Give us your thoughts on this.

Stinger I agree with your comments, IMHO, incognito is a good idea. Although at first thought, it would be nice to have the logo on there, it sits out where it is accessible and I think it would be best if it blended into the landscape and didn't draw attention when unattended, as it is most of the time.
