Warming Up

Another 18-degree morning here in Central Texas.  From here on out it should start warming up.  Because of the cold mornings, painting is out of the question, so the women were in the Hub (the camp store) taking inventory.  For most of them, there were no cries of dismay when they learned there would be no painting for the remainder of the week.  Painting is not a favorite task, particularly when it is overhead.

The guys were in the maintenance barn all day, first cutting a couple picnic tables in half and modifying them for use in the shooting range.  The modifications allow them to be used as a rest when aiming a firearm at a target.

Then it was making benches.  A fairly simple design that has been used elsewhere in the camp.  We made seven benches.

Because we had completed the list of jobs that we had in front of us, we took off a half-hour or so early.  We don’t know what we will be doing tomorrow.

It was a sunny afternoon and made it all the way up to the mid-40s so we took a walk, even shedding a layer over what we had on this morning.  It may be still rather cold but it was good to be outside in the sunshine.
