Present: Dale, Chuq, Imre, Richard, Dan, Tom.
We started later than we had planned but still moved everything, except
one gaylord, by 4:30 PM. It was tiring but satisfying work. We are
taking the week off to rest so there are no warehouse sessions this week.
Bob Betz referred us to a salvage company which had used pallet jacks.
Dale and Dan took $100 petty cash from our general account and bought
two. Those extra pallet jacks made the difference. The round trips from
Chippewa to SBWD were faster than we had estimated. Goose stayed at the
SBWD site and moved pallets against the wall in our cold storage area
while the rest of the crew loaded the rental truck and Dale's pickup at
Chippewa. The forklift at Chippewa was too tall to get in the rental
truck so we used the third pallet jack to load the truck.
Imre and Chuq closed their shop on Saturday to help. Great job everyone.

I will have the rental truck at Chippewa by 8:30 AM on Saturday
morning, maybe a little later. Dale will bring his pickup truck so we
can purchase two used pallet jacks at 10:00 AM. Dale and another
volunteer will get the used pallet jacks because it takes 2-3 people
to lift the jacks to the truck bed.
[Dale: Please bring rope or strap to tie down the pallet jacks so they
don't bang around in your truck bed.]
Volunteers will break for lunch, on FGM's dime, when enough folks are
hungry. SBWD closes at noon on Saturday. I have a door key and the
alarm code so we can work until we are done. If volunteers need an
evening meal, FGM will pay for that too.
So far, Goose, Dale, Chuq, Dan and I plan to do the move. I don't know
how long everyone can stay so we could be short handed at some point.

I assume we will start loading the rental truck at Chippewa around
9:00 AM, but possibly earlier, this Saturday. Once I find out when I
can pick up the rental truck, I can make a final announcement. I also
need to purchase two used pallet jacks ($50 ea.), if possible, so we
can unload the truck more quickly at SBWD.
If we don't finish the job on Saturday, we will continue on Sunday
since the truck can be returned anytime before Monday morning.
