Pete, I was at the CO-OP today in the early afternoon bout 2:00.
Made one load to the to McFarlands recycler. Cleaned up all of the
back most pile and some of the other stuff. I left my little cargo
trailer their for you to use if you wish. It has a hitch for 1& 7/8
ball. Use at your own risk. other members may use it to haul the last
of the debree for the CO-OP. if they bring it streight back to the
site. I will try to get in and help maybe next this week. Ill see
it's first week of school. Have a good one. Bill D.

Earthrace biodiesel boat! Matt and I have been involved with this
project for the past month. Matt hooked up with Pete and the crew
in Portland, and joined them for their west coast tour. We have
both been helping them out on weekends and it has been a great
experience.
