[Thursday] The Yellow Brick Road

[Louis Vertefeuille]

Good afternoon to the People of Oz,
There was a lot of activity this morning getting ready for the trip to Oz.  First of all we finished the cleaning up after the BIG DAY. There were a few details that required finishing touches....trash that hadn't made it to the pick up point last week...wood blocks and boards that were used to prop up the Porta Johns and the grill...the steam bicycle and steam hoses were gathered and transported to the trailer..the wheel was repaired on the third wheelbarrow. The turbine was covered with a tarp and the water pump that was set up next to the Lookout boiler was winterized and put away for safe keeping. The Lookout boiler was cleaned of ashes and the mud ring was vacuumed out. The engines next to the boiler were blown out to get ready for winter. All the water and soda that was temporally stored in the church basement was moved and stored on the rack in the Mayes Building rest room.
  The Good Fairy visited the Massie Station and left a working oscilloscope on the workbench much to Colin's delight.
The names of the new volunteers from last week which I missed are;
Davinder Singh Matharu..as I mentioned last week he is visiting from the UK
The other new volunteer was not present today so I couldn't get his info.
Yet another new volunteer came in today..he is a ham radio guy and has a variety of other skills.His name is Chris Prata and we welcome him to the Village on the Yellow Brick Road.
  A plan was devised to redo the paper product storage room to make it more presentable and organized. We hope the rearrangement will provide better use of our resources.
The journey into the future starts with that first step along the Yellow Brick Road and I believe we have taken that step and we are on our way to bigger and better things that will take us to that fabled city of OZ.
Best regards to all,.....the guy behind the curtain.
LOU
