Almost 15 volunteers again.  
Wireless guys continue with the cleaning and organizing the wireless building back room.
Efforts continue to extinguish the yellow jackets in the south west corner of the wireless building
Final adjustments were made on the Armington and Simms Lubrication system (the one without the generator)
The lawn was mowed
At 10 we had a pre Steamup meeting for a little over an hour.  It looks like Steamup this year will go smoothly.  
We do conflict with the Zagry Farm Show in Colechester, CT.  This is a calendar issue and can't be helped.  I will reach out the Zagry Show Management and mention this so they know it wasn't done intentionally or by mistake.  
The railing on the Mayes Building handicapped ramp is getting a new handrail cap.  The old one had been patched at least once and that spot was rotten again as well as other spots.
The piping from the Lookout boiler to the Turbine is being modified to move the turbine steam valve close to the turbine and also install a T above the turbine before the turbine valve so we won't have to run a long steam hose to the portable steam manifold that we historically put in that area.  
The mechanical lubricator was removed from the Troy Engberg engine.  It will be cleaned repaired and reinstalled.
We had 2 or 3 visitors.  Dave Caldwell showed them around while the rest of us were in the Steamup meeting.  
Cleaning, rearranging and cataloguing continues in the engineering library.
If I missed anything it wasn't intentional.
