20170422 - EAGLE PROJECT

20170422 - Up EARLY and D&I to the ball fields at Academy Park. We carried the supplies to the shelter and then installed a helmet shelf on field 1 so the volunteers had an example in no time at all. Early on there were very few people and D thought we may be in trouble for getting everything done. As the day warmed up and the sun came out more and more people showed up. There were lots of people showing up, family, friends, scouts, teammates (about 45 volunteers in total). D handed out the work and there were folks everywhere doing all sorts of jobs. We had lunch brought in and didn't have quit enough as people showed up after we ordered the food, but it all seemed to work out and EVERYTHING GOT DONE! We were all cleaned up by 2:30 and his project is DONE! 

J had a soccer game today so he wasn't around to help. L had G at his 2 games, they did come to help get the food and take care of lunch. G's team won both games so looks like baseball again tomorrow. Home and I cleaned out the garage and got everything put away.

At lunch I ran to Lowe's (met up with Tom), Ace Hardware and Home Depot to get the final supplies for D's Eagle Project rounded up. Back to work to finish up the day and then home to get some supplies and head to the field. D was at a game so Bill & Tom helped me go around to each dugout and mark out where the bat racks would go. On the way home L called me to go find J. We had let him go the track meet at the high school but he was not reporting in like he was supposed to and we could not locate him on his phone... I went to the high school and could not find him in the thousands there, but did find his bike... Home and D&I loaded up the back of the white car then over to Doc's to hook up to the trailer. We got all of the wood loaded up and then in to finish writing the work instructions. EVERYTHING FINALLY READY!!! J finally came home, so all good. To bed a bit later than planned.
