    Ok.
    I haven’t mowed the yard in like 3 months, been working with maybe a day maybe 1.5 off to get everything ready at home.
    Someone, who shall not be named has been slacking on mowing.
    This is the South side by old shed.

    “What old shed?”
    It’s covered in careless weeds.
    The old tote sat on front of it.

    Ground control, I need clearance for about 200 feet of a runway...

    That thing needs 3000 feet to land, what you going to do with 200 feet? And which runway, whats you location.

    Location is 20,000 feet directly above you, I only need 200 feet cause I'm going to crash.

    What the problem, I'll get a situation responce team on to see if they can walk you through a recovery process.

    Well ya see I drank a cup of coffe this morning instead of doing my pre-flight. Apparently the wing pressure was a little low. Both wings blew out nearly simultaneously. The only recovery process needed will be after touchdown... Speaking of which you might want to call the coroner.

    Ok you have clearance for the last 200 feet of runway Q... It's still a mess from that Rookie who skipped his pre-flight last month.

    Copy that, on approach for runwa......(distant rumble)

    Dam it!!! I told him runway Q... Not runway U!!!!

    "BoDock" fencing. Find a grown up old roadside fence line. Cut out the bodock trees. Keep the trunks ( 6" up) round for gate post, corner posts. Trim the straightest/longest branches for line/brace posts every say 100 feet. Keep the crooked 4" pieces for fence. posts. Dig a hole and sink the trunk piece four feet in the ground, pack well. Drill holes for hook/bracket hinges. (You can't drive a nail into it) Go down 100 feet and plant two of your better/straightest with a shorter piece centered as a brace.
    Stretch the top strand of barbed wire from gate to brace. Use it as a line to place the small crooked post in every 10 feet.
    Do not try to stap[le. will ruin a lot of staples, waste a lot of time, and ones you get in will crack open and pop out next summer. Just measure from ground up to your top wire height and tie the wire to the post with smooth galvanize wire. Continue on this way, placing posts, position their crooks in line with the fence direction to enable use.
    If you go in to the woods in most of the deep south, walk thru and as you come out the far side will have seen the remains of bodock posts, some broken off, missing, but some still standing. Will be old rotted pieces of barbed wire in places. That was a fence a long time ago and if the wire had held up, still be.

    Having a beer or two; while sitting in the shade, and waiting on someone who knows something to get there works 100 percent of the time. If in winter do same, just go inside.

    Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
    And if you can use the plane again, it was an excellent landing.
