Re: Trailer Work Day

[Scott A Smiley <sc.smiley@juno.com>]

Sunday sounds OK.  I was thinking that Sat might be good too.  Maybe
those that are not running trains could start on some things in the
trailer.    Or maybe I have that day to go buy the stuff needed.

We also need to invite all of the club.

It would be best if we had the old trailer at the work day too to check
some dimensions and how things will work.

If we do not have enough tasks to do on the trailer stuff, we could do
some module repairs with the additional manpower.  

I will make a list of things that need to be done  and sequence of
construction so we can move through it quickly.
