The Murphy Builders Site

Believe it or not........the ice is in great condition as of noon today.
Over 10 inches thick and dry. Monday it was covered in water...today it
frozen...no snow cover and good to go. A dusting of about 4 inches of fluffy
snow would make it great...but that doesn't look like it will happen.

When landing stick to the middle of the lake or up the South/West shore.
Avoid the North/East long shoreline that borders the road as this is where
the inflow/run off comes in and the ice is a tad different colour there and
I chose not to explore on it today.

Bruce Tinney has worked hard getting the wood cut, shelter structure ready
for the wind break and a wood stove ready to haul over......and he deserves
a HUGE round of applause!

As of now the ski flyin is a >GO< for Saturday Feb 4th 10am to ? ....unless
we get a downpour tomorrow. I will update once again evening night >IF

ONLY IF< anything has changed.

If the weather doesn't cooperate on Saturday..ie snowing hard or raining...
then we will move to Sunday.

If you don't see another message then assume the flyin is a go on Saturday
morning.

If anyone coming needs fuel on site for their flight home, in 100LL or
regular car gas please advise ASAP! 100LL is easy...I have 500 gallons
here....car gas I have to go to town to get.

Cheers,

Thanks Wayne !

Looks like you might even get some snow for Saturday - Sunday
doesn't look too good, though ... Good luck !

Anna & I will be in Kitchener for a 3 day business owners conference,
heading down for Friday afternoon session, so no flying this weekend ..
Got a bit in last Friday anyway - the Rebel still remembered how ! :-)

people

drilling rivets out.Dale SR-033

Anybody in the area that wants to come in on wheels will be just fine as
well.

Thanks Wayne I haven't put my skis on yet as the grass is still green

flight though. (sigh) Maybe I'll get to Matchedash this year.
