Work Party #3, 2012

Saturday, 22 June 2012

Work party #3 was a larger group than expected, given the 51 degree temperature at 8:00 AM, and the rain.  The coffee and doughnuts before 8:00 AM were welcome.  In spite of the Oregon summer weather the members accomplished a lot.  Lunches from Ebner's and various beverages followed the work party.  The following is the list of tasks accomplished:

• Serviced the trap machines.
• Loaded traps 1 - 4 with targets.
• Repaired the broken manual trap.
• Raked wads.
• Removed the old pallets from beside the conex.
• Mowed the camping area (in the rain).
• Cut weeds and tall grass on the 100 and 50 yard ranges (in the rain).
• Inspected the 100 yard range baffles to determine how to repair them.
• Dug the holes on the side of the embankment and installed the steel posts for the gongs on the 200/300 yard range (in the mud and rain on the side of a slippery hill lugging 90+ lb chunks of steel around).
• Loosened the bolts holding the bars over the office window preparatory to installing the new window there.
• Filled potholes and did minor grading of the parking lot and road gravel.
