Work goes on as always. The patch for the Shays tube sheet has been
partially drilled and a plug was tapped and put in. It still needs to
be welded which will require a certified boiler welder.

The 1630 brasses are rough cut to size but need to be finished. There
is a rumor that they may be sent to Durango. The tender for the 1630
is finally coming together.
