Parts sorting went well. I can't believe the quanitity of Lego that we have. Enough parts for 90 kits plus a bunch left over. There are some good new people on the staff this year that seem like they'll be a lot of fun to work with. And there are some contestants I know.

Jan asked me to do the official reading of the contest storyline at the big first meeting tomorrow, like I did yesteryear. If I recall correctly, I made a complete ass of myself. I intend to do a repeat performance.

After 6.270 I went to Holly's place and did some more work on the railgun. we got the veritcal power bus bars attached to the rails, cleaned all the parts, and did the final assembley of the railgun itself. With any luck, we won't have to take it apart again until it jams or welds the armature during firing or something like that. Excitement is brewing. Holly estimates 4 or so work sessions and we'll be ready to fire it.
