Title: another great day at the new ASRCM field
Post by astroflyer on Apr 15^th, 2012 at 5:29pm

A good bunch out again today for a great day of getting the field in shape, lots of hard labor, mowing and lots of flying.

On the labor front, Joe, Jon, Criag, Paul and Shawn replaced the legs on one of the shelters and got it up and in place. The old bolts are rusted badly on the second shelter and will require another weekend.

1. new legs and support pieces added.

2 and 3. Joe hammers the footings in place with some help from Craig.

as Joe mentioned in another thread Craig's trailer has been invaluable in getting things to and from the new site.

After carefull consideration of that video two things are quite clear:

1. Jon is still the taker so far this year.
2. Craig is quite the Stryker bully, and coming along nicely!

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

yeah and I guess the speculation is over regarding who is going to be the first to hit that big tree. ;D

I see your hatch is about 100 yards to the left. Willow and I'll pick that up. ;D I'll soon have a free stryker! ;D
