Well, it blew and blew on Saturday. I thought I was on duty (in fact, Sunday AM), and pitched in to help the usual suspects catch up on a bit of work. The impressive scrap wood pile, which wasn't burned during the Lobster Party last week because of the dry conditions, was lit during the recent thunderstorm downpour. It burned as if it was dry out... but safely. I gathered a few trailer loads of downed tree limbs and greens that Dan Duclos had cut, and burned that on the few coals left. The tractor clutch system had a snag, and Jarek and Greg were working on it. I lubed the many lube points on it. After, the entry gate had collapsed tubes holding hinge points, making it sag. A trip to the Rockland TSC to pick up the required replacements, a torch, and a load of gravel later, it was fixed.

Last fall, the Board arranged for our handyman, Mr. Charbonneau, to pick up special paint for the metal roof of the Carpenter Shop. By the time it had arrived, it was too cold to apply. It was done Saturday morning.
In the picture, you can also see one of the new internet nodes that are springing up around the club. The old ones were not supportable, and were dying. You can see one on the right end of the roof...
Not pictured, Dan MacDonald washed and waxed the leading edges of the club 2-seat gliders.
Even if Mother Nature doesn't play ball, there's lots to be done at the club.
A good crowd had a nice dinner, a few Margaritas, and a good night's sleep before what was a duty day for many.
