Fred has his minions, although I don't believe any work quite as hard as Fred.

I resemble that remark! LOL

Jason - thanks for the schedule. Hope it will be dry enough to paint on Monday. Will be there Tuesday to paint or whatever. Hope to be early on Saturday for Fred's crew and if the tamper is working, track crew. Parking lot? Probably.

There is a rental car franchise in Wiscasset, I think it's Enterprise.  It's located on Rt 1 at the Wiscasset Ford location, so a rental may defeat the purpose of avoiding traffic :-)

It is an Enterprise and they will bring the car to you. They have brought one to me here in Dresden.

What's on the agenda for Saturday? Hope it is something energetic because it is going to be damned freaking cold.

I could get there, but getting home again later will be a much different story. Mixed precip is already in Richmond and parts of Dresden. Looking out my window across the Kennebec. The Richmond side is beginning to disappear.

Museum Discussion / BHI Publications & Maine 2 Foot Books

Tim Mulina is shutting down BHI Publications at the end of January. If there are any books that you want, you had better get them soon. Perhaps the Museum can make him a deal on remaining stock to sell in the gift shop.
