Hey Dan, Southern Eagles Soaring, Butler, Georgia flew today (Saturday, April 11). We only did around 6 tows. Everything that launched stuck for most of the afternoon and we aren't doing training right now so not so many tows. We conducted "minimal operations" as mandated in the Governor of Georgia's shelter-in-place rules. We limited the size of our group while indoors (not much of that), only did single pilot tows, no 2 people in a glider ops of any kind. We had a spray bottle of diluted rubbing alcohol to clean everything and we took everyone's temperature. That turned out to be kind of a hassle. I got one of those talking infrared thermometers. We taped it to a long stick to maintain our social distancing. It was very difficult and somewhat painful to get the thing inserted, even with lots of KY lube. It seems to me that it was poorly designed for it's purpose, being relatively large for a thermometer and shaped like a pistol. Also, once inserted the little electronic voice was so muffled by the intervening anatomy that it as very hard to hear it. Maybe I need to review the instructions. The same people who distrust the gooberment also demand the gooberment to come up with solutions. Also, KY isn't the best lubricant (I say this based you decades of corporate and military experience), try albolene. It's water soluble and, according to upper management, doesn't leave as nasty an aftertaste. |

Why is it called "KY Jelly?" Is it mined in Kentucky?

Who has that for a contest number? He must be one “slippery” fellow. Does it repell leaches?

The origins of the brand name "K-Y®" are unknown. Two popular myths are that (1) it was created in Kentucky and (2) the letters represent the key ingredients used to make the lubricant. Although we can confirm that neither of these myths are true, the origin/meaning of the name continues to remain somewhat of a mystery. |

Seminole-Lake is only towing private ships right now. No training, rentals, or scenic flights. However, there is a group that is organizing daily races/tasks that are open to anyone that is flying. Rich Owen
