Now that I have your attension!! We have one more work weekend scheduled for this saturday the 12th of April. A few of the things we would like to get done are move axle on new water wagon, weight box on IH loader tractor Get new leaf vacum running and maybe start some of the plumbing for the boiler on the Osgood shovel. This will be your last chance to get your picture taken tasting donuts!!!!! Hope to see you there

The instigator of all of the donut tasting pictures, was finally caught red-handed. But then again, he did buy them, so suppose he's allowed to eat one...

Throughout the day, I think the sugar rush finally wore off, so Louie opted for the paint fume high to end the day. :rof:

Not sure if Wimpy was out too late Friday night or if it was break time. Or maybe he was trying to get something straight between him & Louie. But it does look like he was deep in thought.

It was a great day at the shop! Fantastic finish to another season of "winter work weekends" at Larson Welding!

We got a LOT accomplished! We now have a new water supply trailer, and a new (smaller) leaf vacuum to clean up some of the tight spots around the grounds. Both were donated, and are ready for service as the need arises. Crews also worked on the crowd engine for the Osgood Shovel, and the Ortner locomotive. I am sure Louie will post some pictures and explanations here soon.

Thanks to Jim and Lynette for making the space, and supplies available for WMSTR to get these jobs done in the cold weather season.
