Good morning Picklers especially Brenda a nd Gaurav,
To be clear, Sunday's court repairs are being made in North county at the
tennis court area beside Montague city hall. If you're able to make the 35
minute drive, here's the address:
230 S. 13th St. Montague, CA
I will be there at 8:30 a.m. as I live much closer. If you are able to come
9:30 a.m. or so...that would be awesome as I have some commitments later in the
morning.
Hoping several Yreka area players find a way to come out and help any time
Sunday.
In any event, Brenda and Gaurav, your good intentions are appreciated. :^)
Warmly,
Snow

Had fun today with a great group of folks. Afterward playing, Aaron, Tito, Pete
and I started the painting. I repaired the chipped area and associated cracks
on the northwest court yesterday so we first ground it smooth. Then we lined
out the 4th court on the northeast corner. Interestingly, we discovered the two
courts (one permanent net, the other without a net on the south end were 2
inches short! So if you ever served a long ball there it may have been good! We
then painted all the kitchens a beautiful blue, and all the service areas a
dark green (“NovaGreen”). They look amazing.
Tomorrow we are going to finish the surrounding areas with a lighter green
(“Grass Green”) and could use some help. We used squeegees to spread the paint,
rather than rolling it on like we did in Mt. Shasta. Squeegees are much
better!! But they really take some skill. Steve Sluss, the professional who did
the Mt. Shasta courts, makes it look so easy. But Aaron and I sort of have it
down now.
What we need are people who will mix paint and help pour it on so we can spread
it. Do some next-to-the-line rolling, carry water, do clean up, keep leaves off
(they keep falling on all the time). We could use 3 or 4 people. We plan to
start at 8:30.
The nets are off. We bought two new nets with the money you raised at your
scramble. We hope to get the lines painted tomorrow too. If we do, then we can
install the new nets, and the old tennis net separator.
But if we don’t get it finished it may mean the courts are out of service until
we can finish the lines. That’s why extra help would be nice.
