I believe the only Christmas Crisis ever to have elicited more panic had to do with an Electrified Reindeer Schnoz.

Everybody has to do a Christmas album.
Track three: Oh Little Town of Sheepscot, or of Albion. Maybe it's Wis-cas-set

You can take mine out of the pile. I finally paid up for life.

What's anticipated for Saturday? Looks like the majority of the snow is Friday night switching to rain for the day Saturday.

Cody begged to have today off from school so he could see #53 unloaded, but no, that's not him.

I didn't take many photos today, but Cody and I happened to be there when Alan had a significant breakthrough on the turntable screw. Here he is muscling his way through some rough threads. Photo credit: Cody.

The Mother's Day Tea event was fantastic! Guests seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. They particularly appreciated the gentle breeze that kept the black flies elsewhere. Here are a couple of photos to show what the caterer, Maine Tasting Center, provided. It was really top notch. I expect we'll see more, and better, photos from "Start" shortly.

Only indirectly related to this thread, but worth putting out there for local folk who didn't already know.

I think this is what Jason meant. I hope my image stays put this time. ... And it didn't, so never mind.

Is anyone staying in Maine next Saturday? Will anyone be on the campus?

I'll be back on my feet this Saturday, so Cody and I are on board to be on board.

Well I'm stumped - much like the new parking area. I've posted photos in the past using the same procedure, and those are still there.
Thanks for your work around, Mike.

Strange. I reloaded the photos, and they seem to be working again now.

Here's a pair of photos of Mike working away on those 55-year-old bolts with his apprentice taking it all in. For hours.

And in a first, Pete was not hovering somewhere in Cody’s proximity (hope Mike survived the day). Instead, I spent a few quiet hours above the shop counting out 30 each of back newsletter issues to save for the archives.
