Board meeting was 29 minutes. If you blinked, you missed it.

Back in the days of yore, my Uncle slept through an entire BOD meeting. Clarissa put a blanket around his shoulders.

Shed moving day Saturday at Alna Center. The Santa shed needs to be moved and the storage shed put in its place after the ground is leveled. The Santa Shed will be moved to the back of the Pavilion for now. The backhoe will be stationed in the pit at Alna Center starting this weekend for the summer again for ballast loading.

Work done on Saturday April 19:

* Alna Center: Mike, Brian and I did the Shed Shuffle.  The Santa shed went into the pavilion, then the new storage shed was put in its old location.  The Santa shed went to the west end of the pavilion, and after lunch Mike and Brian leveled it up.  Mike also took down the plastic sheet, which didn't survive the intervening weeks since installation.
* Easter Eggspress: Lots of happy customers.
* Engine house: Joe was moving things that had been stored against the north wall and moving it south, in preparation for painting.
* Vacuum brake system: This was being worked on
* Coach 9: The gold leafer was leafing gold behind on the coach.

Today was a nice weather day.
