From Mahdl-T
To Shai-Hulud


We (BenK, BenD, Martin, Visitors Markus and family, and I) had a long day of building. Aside from the worm demanding a blood sacrifice from Markus, we did good. That'll put us on our toes safety wise, lemmie tell you. AlBob visited, and offered his hot tub about a mile down the road.

Ben and Ben and I arrived about noon and stayed 'till 1:30AM or so. I was back in Portland with the bus at 3AM. We finished the stairs but for some painting. Screwed down the decks. Welded loops on to hold the steel cable railing. And we made two long curved tubes that form the upper rear profile of the body, so it'll soon start to look like the monster.

We are moving the builds to BenD's property and occasionally other Portland locations now. Tuesday all day and night: BenD's Whacky shack. We'll assemble it all and cut plywood sides for the peeeple bucket up top. That'll form a worm profile for Soak, from the front of the deck back!

Thursday it's packing up and going. Want to ride with the Worm and help set up? Got stuff to take? I'll offer it on the Portland List soon if nobody takes it.
