Today, Steve Z. and I worked south from Alna Center and Leon W. and Dright W. worked North.  We'll be working on the restroom undergroung piping tomorrow. Busy day planned.

Walked the Head Tide section this afternoon after sorting lag screws for a couple hours, durring my short but annual visit from AZ.  The path needs some cutting it's about a foot high, one of the small bridges has some broken boards, I think it was the second one going North.  I left my hat somewhere near the bin near #9, I'll stop buy and get it on my way to the airport on Sunday.

Today at the WW&F:

* A local contractor that Steve Z knows stopped by with his excavator and volunteered his time by digging out a trench for water and electrical conduits for the restroom.  A bunch of people worked on restoring the stone base over the piping.
* Mike and I mowed using the mower car from Alna Center to Sheepscot.  Mike had replaced the blade with a new blade.
* #9: Marcel worked on the cab.
* John M mowed south of AC.

Anticipated work for weekend of July 28:

* Mowing, on Friday and Saturday (and Sunday if enough people).
* Restrooms.  There may still be piping to put in, but if not the stone needs to be leveled out.  We have insulation and rebar to start putting down.
* #9

Not good for cutting grass this weekend, maybe some clean up in the bays will be done. B.L.T.'s Sat. Cole slaw and potato salad Hot dogs also.

Leon W. cut grass Wed and Thurs from Trask Rd. South to the trestle. To wet today to cut grass. Cleaned up trash this morning, took it to transfer station then went to the lumber co. to pick up wire ties for the re bar. Cooked 5 lbs bacon for tomorrow then went North and cut Two trees across the track from wind damage then dug trench in the crushed rock to bury conduit. That kept Steve Z. and myself busy.

Work done on Saturday the 28th:

* Considerable work on the restroom.  There had been a delivery of stone this week, this was all put on the pad, bringing it up so that there would be a certain depth of concrete.  On top of the stone was put styrofoam, then an occasional brick followed by rebar.  About half of the pad got the styrofoam and rebar, the rest is waiting for another stone delivery this week.

A little (n.g.) bird told me that there were 99 passengers today.  Not sure how the gift shop did.

Hi folks.

Does the back of the station and gift shop still need scraping and painting?  The kids and I said we'd come up and do that, but the first chance we'll have is on Aug 11 which is the picnic.  Is that okay?  Also, do you have the scrapers, primer, etc?

The back of the freight shed still does need scraping and painting.  Watch out for wasps, though.  Plenty of scrapers to go around.
