Happy holidays from the NESCo crew! Volunteers braved the cold to set out donuts and hot coffee for the Big Guy, next to a stocking hung with care on the best mantle in town!

Black's Heat Pumps showed up to the tent and brought the equipment to be installed. Ron and Al began installing the mount in the office container where the inside unit is to go. Black's will return Monday to complete the job. Paul H got more MEC drawings recorded and organized in the office. We now have about 2000 drawings accounted for.

In other areas, Bob did more assembly of the cab — drilling and bolting up both sides of the new upper front cab wall to the new side walls of the cab. Bolts will be soon be replaced with hot rivets. Bob, Paul V and Leverett came up with a plan for a platform for the dome area on the boiler, and installed the hand winch cable that will be used for the throttle valve removal.

Attendees were Ron and Al Jenkins, Bob, Paul V, Paul H, and Leverett.
