Next Work Session Coming Up Dec. 10

The next RPI work session will be held Saturday, Dec. 10, starting at about 8:30 am at the Antlers Hotel crossing in Kingsland, TX.  This is a change from our normal starting point in Llano, TX, but there is a lot of work to be done down in Kingsland so we want to get a lot done without having to run all the way from Llano (taking 3-4 hours of transit time from our work time).

I am planning to bring my rail-mower (see http://rpiprojects.blogspot.com for full details of its progress) for its first extended operational test.  All the final touches should have been added by then and it should be running well, at least that is my hope.  I plan to bring both it and my Woodings CBI motorcar with which to tow it.  Have been fixing up the CBI rear lights.  Today I drained and replaced the oil and repaired a leaking fuel hose.  Tomorrow I will lubricate the 14 grease zerks.  I might go to north Austin tomorrow morning to pick up some steel C-channel to serve as loading ramps.  So there are still things to do to get ready for the big day.
