Bring your A game

Today was the first full day with students starting classes and everyone on campus for meals. Breakfast is done as self-serve with the kitchen staff keeping the buffet fully stocked for the breakfast hour. It was Sandy's turn to keep the breakfast line going, so she has to report 15 minutes early to the kitchen. We had so many great meals today, I am not sure I could remember all of them, but Sandy, Jody and Faye are doing a fantastic job.

The maintenance crew had a wide variety of tasks today. I started out getting some old woodpile pieces ready to send to the wood recycling site. Jeff Z. and Ron worked on cleaning leaves out of gutters to make sure the rain we have been getting doesn't backup. I spent the rest of my day getting a new wall insulated separating two staff living areas that will have new occupants in the spring. Moved the drywall into place so that tomorrow we should be able to hang the drywall and put the fixtures in.

After dinner and dish cleanup, we had a time together with the TCM leadership and the professors to ask questions and find out new opportunities that are emerging. We also had a chance to taste some of the local desert tortes and chocolates.

Things are really in full swing for the next few days and everyone is working really hard and it shows.
