The coal tipple was operating this afternoon and here are some photos and I am hoping to have a video to post that was taken by Jonathan Cordova.

: The hoist house for the tipple

: Setting the clutch on the hoist drum

: I think that this gentleman is breaking up the coal that is still in the pit

: Looking down into the pit as 2 brave soles shovel the coal into the hoist bucket

A few more from other jobs:

: Stenciling on a car

: Threading a rod under what I think is the paint car

: Notching out a board so it will properly go into the car

It is nice to see that Geof and Nancy getting their due. Both of them are tireless workers that are at work sessions many times each summer.

I wonder if John Sutkus and his crew found that bottle of windex I dropped when cleaning the webcam lenses about a year ago. oops.....
