Snow,
I was going to help out for hour and a half. Unfortunately, driving will
eat up most of the time. I will pass.

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.
