Tool Maintenance and Trailer Cleanup
Activities:November is that time of year when we get together off the trail to clean and sharpen our tools, and spiff up the tool trailer for the next year of work. Saturday November 16 will be a relaxing day: work starts about 11 am and you may drop in any time to help out. After the trailer is put away, pizza will arrive. Dave Croker will show slides from his backpack into Yosemite from September if folks stay around (he has a projector and screen so we can set up an outdoor theater). For the day, and if you stay, you might want to bring a camp chair since there is no place to sit.
Bring: work gloves, rags, electric drills with brush attachments (if you have them), good spirits, stories and friends.
Tool party location: Hidden Villa in Los Altos Hills.
