August 10 weekend

I plan on attempting a long weekend at the Hill. I'm too cheap to go to Stellafane. Anyone else planning on stopping by? Are there any specific jobs that need to be done up there? Sounds like a few have been very busy lately.
I can bring up the micropolish if you guys want to try to finish restoring the 24 in mirror to a luster. Looking forward to some quality time on the hill after a long hiatus.

Thanks to all who worked at the July work party... on a nice party cloudy summer day, temperatures just under 80, a nice day to get things done. Bruce Blanchard cleaned the clubhouse out, John Davis mowed around all the buildings, and Ray Burk was a weed wacking dervish.

I got a start on scraping the Gaertner observatory in preperation for a paint job one of these week ends.

We may get a mention in an upcoming Astronomy Magazine (Thanks Jim Zebrowski!), thanks to John, Ray, and Bruce for posing for some pictures. With Dan's, I've got a stack to send to the magazine, let's see if something makes it to print!
