I too have limited tome to fly and at this time of the year here in the Pacific Northwest we usually see a lot of rain. But lately the weather has been perfect. EXCEPT... as we fly out of a farmers cow pasture with a nicely cultivated landing strip we have another problem. Every year her spreads his chicken manure all over the fields and this year our field really got dumped on????????. We've shoveled and raked but, no way. I tried. Yuk what a mess. And we've been getting some of the nicest flying conditions all year. Talk about frustrating.
