Wayne Deckard: Safety Issue: We have been having a lot of animals on the grass and hard surface runways. Pay close attention to the cornfield; on takeoff there might not be enough room to miss them. The deer are staying in the corn then coming out. If landing at night, make a pass over the field then land.

We have a couple of runway lights out that will need to be replaced.

Columbus (BAK) Airport will have a runway closed for 100 days. During the time that they are replacing the intersection of the two runways, the entire airport will be closed for approximately two weeks. If you go to Columbus, be sure to check the NOTAMs.

Wayne Deckard: We still have not heard back yet on our taxes so we are holding off on any major purchases or repairs.

We currently have about 500 gallons fuel and will need to order more in about two weeks. We will owe about $5,000 for the fuel that we have consumed.

Mike Jackson: What about our planned concrete repair?

Wayne Deckard: We are still waiting on the the government so we will know what our tax liability is.

Earl Brosman: We need high speed internet out here. ILines and Comcast both show on their web sites that they offer it for this area.

Earl Brosman volunteered to get cost quotes from both companies.

Earl Brosman: The sandblaster needs to be repairs.

Wayne Deckard: It needs to be filled with white silicon sand.
