We don't have a bar at Moriarty, but I have a well-stocked fridge in the
hangar. I don't need to wait for "all gliders". In fact, I pop a cold
one /_before_/ putting my ship to bed. Makes the work seem much less
tedious. Then, put a chair out on the tarmac in the shade and watch the
late flyers come home. ;-)

I belong to a Yacht Club that has figured it out - They have no boats or anything that could possible float - only a really nice Bar with a great view of the bay!!
