Just to let you all know, we have 37 tables sold.

That means we are 99% sold out.

It will be another great one!

Stacy, That thought crossed my mind, as well. However, when switching the blower switch from AUTO to MAN, the blower should run and does not.

I left the panel screws out and the panels off in case someone else wants to look at it before a professional does. I left it with the main breaker off at the panel. No one likes surprises like that!?

When I arrived at Indian Prairie today, I turned on the air conditioning and it failed to come on. I first checked the breaker in the panel. I then removed some screws and took off the back panel, suspecting the little wind up timer had failed. After checking all the fuses and verifying we had 240 VAC, I disconnected the wind up timer and still nothing. No compressor, no blower, nothing. I didn't get into it any further figuring that even IF I figured out what's wrong, I wouldn't have the parts and tools to fix it. Someone with much more knowledge and experience needs to look at it.?

Are you going to the Pacific club field day at all?
Field day is not the day to learn how to do some thing or to start training for something everyone should be educated in this long before field day, it¡¯s an emergency exercise and it is more of the test, not training.
Have you ever taken your radio out to the city park with your tuner and throw a Wire up in the tree to see what you can do? That¡¯s what people need to do to learn how to operate the equipment before an emergency hits.

Re: [^_ZBARC^_] needed water system repair @ club house

 

I have experience with the water lines and septic system.? All that is needed is for someone to ask.

Hello ZBARC,
Anyone planning on Field Day at the clubhouse should be aware that the water system is presently inoperative.

Mark KC0BRC, Bruce N0XNH and Al KA0VIA installed a new toilet on Monday of this week.
After the toilet installation and before we could test the new toilet additional water system problems surfaced. Pun intended!
The water filter housing was cracked. See photo. A new filter housing was found on-site and installed on the filter unit.
The pump ran A-ok BUT!
As the pump ran then water flowed across the floor beneath the radio operating position. The pump was quickly turned off and the water was quickly vacuumed up with the club's wet/dry vac.
The PVC pipe break is located somewhere behind the radio desks and behind the folding wall mounted table top.
Permanently removing the unused wall mounted folding table top might be helpful for future projects. Something to consider. See photo.

Due to time constraints we did not begin the PVC pipe repair project this past Monday.

Several members will need to coordinate a time to meet at the club house for the following tasks.
1. Move all the radio equipment to the other side of the club house.
2. Move the radio desks/tables away for the wall a considerable distance to create access to the wall behind the operating position.
3. Remove the the folding wall mounted table top to expose the PVC pipe.
4. Inspect and make the necessary repairs.
5. Put it all back in place.
FYI, It might be reasonable to consider finishing the wood floor sealing project with all the desks/tables out of the way!

So there it is. We can discuss this project at the next meeting OR we can make the next meeting a work meeting to begin the project.

Feel free to use this groups io message to post your thoughts and ideas on executing the project.

Thank you,
Al, KA0VIA
