A couple of strong young men showed up Saturday afternoon, so I enlisted them to get the head of the drill press put on the column for me. The guard around the chuck is there just for the photo - that'll get taken off once I start using the drill. I'll take my chances.
I went to the ham radio club's annual car show Saturday morning. It was supposed to start at 10:00 but it was raining hard about that time. A couple of brave souls had shown up then, and as the rain slowed to a trickle, a few more cars trickled in. Small turnout, which is not surprising with the weather, but the ones that showed up were nice. The paint on the Buick was flawless, tri-power GTO was pretty sweet, and the traditional hot rod was a dandy. I stuck around until about noon - they had plenty of help. I did talk to the president of the club about getting my antenna installed prior to leaving, though. He goes south for the winter and he's leaving early this year, but he says we should be able to get it taken care off before he goes.
I had some more help here on Sunday, so I did some lumberjacking. I cut up the big oak limb that came down a while back and the crew hauled all the brush away for me. We then loaded up the logs into the truck and hauled them to the splitter. They also dug the post hole for the mailbox/bell outfit.
The crew set up on the rifle range and shot the .22 rifles after that and I finished polishing the fork legs for the trials bike. Rather a productive weekend.
