Title: Telephone improvement at Rose Wood Crossing
Post by: John McNamara on November 05, 2020, 05:39:45 PM: Ed has reported a very crude splice (wire nuts) just north of Rosewood crossing. I'd like to replace that splice with something more weatherproof. I realize that many people are going to SR&RL or MNG on Saturday, but I was wondering if anyone was planning on being at Sheepscot tomorrow afternoon......
Thanks! (A year's free magphone calls as a reward for any volunteers.) :)

Now I understand why that structure has a "window". That is really the 'time traveller portal'. :P

No problem, John. Most of mine is already gone. :o

We had a good system... he brought stakes to me as I hammered them in. After finishing up we took a walk to ToM and saw the new MoW work just north of the yard limit. It looks great.

On the way back I photographed and inspected all of our signs between ToM and AC for potential repairs.

A nice adventure!

Steve

Make sure Johnny writes his time in the log book. A man that serious about his work needs to take credit for it.

Steve....I see pictures, but mostly they look to be shots of weeds and some stakes.
I don’t see your helper at all.
Keith

Opps! Now I see him! I had to scroll to the right in order to see the surveying crew!
