Mowing, spraying and flying

I went out to the shop last night after I finished my blog and covered the right side of the Kitfox's nose.  Now I just have the tail and ailerons to cover and paint, then I can start assembling it.
Today we went flying.  I took the mower with the sprayer on it because there is a lot of dandelions in the runway and pits.  I test flew a couple of planes for other members so it was noon before I flew one of mine.  One of the planes I test flew had a smoke system and I had a good time doing some aerobatics with it turned on.  When I taxied out for my first flight with the Bob Hoover Mustang I nosed it over and broke the prop.  I put it aside for the day and flew the Lancair instead.  After everyone left I finished up the mowing I started this morning and then started spraying.  I ended up putting on two tanks full and did about 3/4 of the area.  The guy who crashed on the 4th stopped by to thank the club members for helping him.  He had some nice bruises and was sore but doing fine.  After visiting with us he went over and repaired the fence.  It was a long day by the time I finished spraying, we got there at nine and left at eight this evening.
