Work Party #4, 2009

Saturday, 15 August 2009

There were three tasks planned for this work party.  Two of the three were completed, and the third (recovering spent bullets) seems to be an on-going project, but there were several man-hours of work done today.  Lunch after the work party was, as usual, sandwiches from Fisher's Meats, soda, and adult beverages.

• Screened dirt from the east range, and picked bullets and bullet fragments for recycling.
• Cleaned out the tractor shed.
• Filled holes in parking lot and road with gravel.
• Added gravel to approach to tractor shed.
• Cleaned trap houses, loaded 25 cases of birds in each.
• Cleaned and greased the trap machines.
• Raked up wads, and picked up hulls from traps.
• Mowed the trap ranges.
• Weeded the gravel on the north porch.
• Sprayed weeds around traps, and trap pads, and on graveled areas.
• Worked on loading new gate card software.
