Yes I want to thank everyone too for working there butts off and to Robert for
hosting it at the shop.

1. All the pad wires were changed out with new cables and new Alligator
clips. We also now have a modular design with 50 amp connectors so if at a
launch a cord gets destroyed we can just go unplug it and plug in a spare.
2. All the rails and rods were cleaned.
3. All the pads were cleaned and lubed to free up all the rusted parts.
4. Matt is making a new Estes rail to go on the old stand, the thumb
screws were all seized up and a few broke.
5. New deflector plates for Estes.
6. All the quad pods and big pad cleaned and lubed.
7. All the PA speakers were fixed with new boxes and plugs and fasteners.
8. Cables all labeled.
9. Batteries charged.
10. James is getting a new LED for Pad number 4 on Mission control it is out
and will fix at next launch.
11. James is making up a few extra cables and a few longer ones a couple of
the pads may be short.
12. I will be making a new sign box, ours is falling apart from the wild
Gorillas out in Helm.
13. Tires fixed on the wagon.
14. Zylstra is going to work on a new speaker rack.
15. Pulled all of the Wobbly rail giz-machees off and waiting to see if we
will add some new pads to put those rails on.
16. We will have to do some more stand offs on the extra rails.
17. Ran out of time so we still have a few more organizing and fixing jobs
over the next month.

We did about 50 man hours of work on the trailer stuff on Sunday.
We got all new wicked bad mil spec leads. The speakers have new mounts. And the
rails are all sparkly clean. Ken built us some new STAINLESS blast deflectors
for the Estes pad-give the kid a cigar! The wagon has sealant in the tires so
hopefully no more flats.
We still have another 20 or so hours to get full mil spec on the “Loaded into
the trailer way cool storage method.”
