I was out at KFRM this afternoon, planning to enjoy the gorgeous clear sky and warmer-than-it-has-been temperatures to get some more practice flying in. While I was there, a guy from the FAA drove up to make his monthly check on the VOR/DME's batteries. We talked for a while, and then he drove off. When he got to the runway, he said, on CTAF,
"Fairmont traffic, Maintenance vehicle crossing runway 13/31 from taxiway Bravo to the VOR, any traffic in the area please advise."
I chuckled all the way out to my hangar, right up until I discovered I wasn't going flying for the next few days due to a flat nose tire.
