The temperatures are starting to hit the 60s outside so it was time for the spring ritual of taking down the storm windows. Usually that means 6 outside storms (ancient 6 over 6 wooden storms about 7 feet x 3.5 feet)   and 8 interior storms (each a single 7 x3.5 pane of glass) Though it’s not an easy job.. it’s satisfying to get done.. and it’s SO nice to be able to open the windows and get fresh air inside !

We worked around the house today.. then early evening we had a small potluck of some of our Fluffy teammates to plan for this years maintenance and extensions. Several key members were out of town rebar, stein, Marie.. they were missed .. We did have Duane, Coco, Amey, Gizzo, Wiki and Kristin !  We  made good  progress. What is on the list for this year is

• dialing in the over pressure switch on the fire rig,
• exploring the swap out of the 200 gallon propane tank
• exploring a scheme for allowing  at least some of the dance poll rigging to stay up when fluffy is in town doing local stuff
• a paint job for the clouds
• a rethink on the wiring for the lights on the handicap access  door to make it easier to open
• New cloud lighting for the front and back.  

That’s still a lot of work.. but hopefully much less than the last two years.
Good discussion and nice hanging out with our friends. Duane brought the Duaneswhirld book for 2024  .Laura makes  one for him every year !
I don’t think I’ve been in one since 2009 due to my usual short trips to the playa

nice day !

Nite all, nite sam
