Work Party #3, 2014

Saturday, 21 June 2014

The third work party of 2014 today was a well attended activity, and accomplished a number of summer tasks.  The day started cool and clear, and ended up being a delightful morning outside.  Coffee, doughnuts, lunch (from Ebner's), and beverages were available to participants.

The following are the tasks that were done:

• Raked wads around traps for general clean-up, and preparation for the WRITA shoot.
• Removed more lead shot from the tarps.
• Finished framing and compacting gravel for the port-a-potty pad and the shooting pads at 200 and 300 yards.
• Pulled weeds from flower beds.
• Cut down dead tree on the east side of the Molalla Forest Road.
• Cleaned and re-stocked trap houses.
• Trimmed the laurel bush next to the pump house.
• Cleared the trail to access the 100 yard impact area, and re-hung one of the gongs.
• Fixed the roof fan in the clubhouse, and re-caulked the fan frame.
• Examined the ant problem, and it is a problem, in the clubhouse roof.
• Hung a few new target frames.
• Cleaned up the storage bunkers and the target areas in the 100 yard butts.
• Set up the public-access WiFi in the clubhouse.
• Swapped out and tested a new data communications firewall in the office.
• Reconnected the credit card machine to the office LAN behind the firewall.

Thanks go to member Pete Kosky and Star Rentals for the mini-excavator used in creating the areas for the three concrete pads.
