| Arrived at HVRM about quarter to 8 for the museum Board meeting. Another day in the 90's forecast, with slim chance of rain. What new? Board meeting lasted until about 10, with the big news being that more storage cars are on the way! Interlake Steel GE # 11 was at the head end of the 11:00 train to English Lake. LIRR coach 2937 not in the consist due to motor problems. So no air conditioned car today. Bob Jachim started building the new steps off of the station platform. Steve Newland and Joe Baker continued their work on Grasselli Tower with Steve starting the windows on the west side of the building. Work started on putting the new metal siding on the Secretary's office. I worked on passenger coach 899. Managed to get a new window cut and installed in the door on the east end of the coach. This is one of the many windows that were broken by vandals last year. Speaking of vandals, Bob Harris had a crew at the museum today doing some repairs for some more recent vandalism to his South Shore passenger cars 4 and 31. I talked to Bob briefly and also to Kevin Heggi, one of those who was helping him today. Bing Risley was out mowing grass. Our drought-like conditions have not stopped the weeds from growing! Due to a family committment, I had to leave the museum early at about 12:30. Stay cool as best you can this upcoming week. The beginning of the week is supposed to be another scorcher. Les |
