Anticipated work for weekend of July 30:

* Weed whacking along the ROW
* Big Joe work
* #9 frame work
* Saturday there's a charter, of sorts, in memory of Brian Gottlieb.  His wife, family, and friends are having a get-together at Alna Center in the field during the day.

Work done on July 30:

* Leon and Brad have been weed whacking all week.  Most of what they did is around Alna Center.
* Earlier in the week, Jason set up the forward frames for #9 to next to the frame casting.
* Zack drilled holes in #9's rear beam, and got the coupler pocket installed.
* Mike moved the BIW joint bars from where they where to just north of the gas shed.
* Brendan and Mike worked on Big Joe, mounting the hydraulic motor.
* The Gottlieb memorial service was well attended.

Actually all 249 bars are South of the gas house.

Some pics from yesterday.

Zack working on the new beam for the rear of #9


New Frame is coming together nicely also.




And lastly the fill Fred got for us.

There's also about 20 truck loads dumped on the parking lot. The Alna fire station is getting some of the fill also so I don;t know if we will get any more or not.

The new fill in Mike's photo is the location of the planned roundhouse.  Until then, the area makes a great second parking lot that will come in handy during large events such as the Annual Picnic August 13th and 14th.

Unless it is wet Stewart. Then the souls of your boots get thicker from the sticky clay. ;D
