What a BEE YOO TEE FULL weekend! We got some promised rain yesterday for the pods & cobs and to settle the dust that's been blowing around for the past month.

Now, what better way to finish out this late summer weekend than to attend the Fly-in Banquet on Sunday afternoon? Weatherman has been promising perfect flying weather to get those plane rides!

And don't forget the Romy's chicken.

And the free beverages!

I desperately wanted to get road ditches mowed before the Fly-in, as I do every year, but all summer, just as things were always starting to dry out we'd always get that 2 or 3 inch gully washer that takes 2 weeks to dry out from.

I tried poking the mower deck into the ditch the Wednesday before the Fly-in but the standing water on the bottom told me to try another day. The Wednesday after the Fly-in and the ditches were good enough to not get stuck if I didn't do anything stupid.

The weatherman for the past several days said rain for tonight, so the ditches needed to get beat down for several days. Now, hopefully, we can keep them mowed for a couple of months.

While I was playing in the ditches yesterday, the airport owns land west of Hwy.187 along the Shioc river that Fred & Lyndon Marcks were brush mowing with their equipment.

Now, let's hope we get an all-day slow rain as the corn & beans could sure use a drink.

Thanks to Joyce Baggot for getting this done while I was at the airport the past couple of days playing in the (dry) ditches.

Well folks. Its always sad to see something come to an end that so much work was put in to. We went into this one with probably the best conditions we've had here at the airport in several years only to be thwarted by smoke & haze.

The raffle prizes are largely taken care of and now to gather the winner's info still at the airport and make that all-important winner's list. I see that being posted on Friday.
