[0:17] We all call on meeting.

[0:24] Oh, I didn't pass the minutes around.

[0:26] Here I am, here I am, here I am.

[0:31] Although after a month he got sick of red thing getting in the way on here.

[0:37] I'm not sick of it.

[0:38] You go, Danny.

[0:39] Call the one.

[0:41] Thank you.

[0:50] Does everybody look?

[0:52] Oh, look at the previous minutes.

[0:55] I have already.

[0:57] Yeah, I make a motion to accept.

[0:59] How second it?

[1:01] I'm safer.

[1:02] Aye.

[1:05] Bill's going around, no visitors, no change to the end of that.

[1:11] Do you want me to sign up?

[1:13] I'm trying to sign up.

[1:23] Highway updates.

[1:31] While we've done some ditching,

[1:33] I don't know.

[1:35] Reservoir role.

[1:37] Install only driveway there.

[1:40] So, dear dumb dates.

[1:42] Yeah, the neighbor next door.

[1:45] Yeah, I fixed that.

[1:46] I figured.

[1:47] Yeah, I don't.

[1:50] Yeah.

[1:52] We fixed that driveway on a return road.

[1:56] We're all in sand.

[1:57] What driveway on the return road?

[1:58] Oh, I don't know.

[1:59] But one with the pavement?

[2:02] Yeah.

[2:02] All right.

[2:03] So they did send me an email.

[2:06] And they thanked you that it was it's an awesome job in there.

[2:11] Yeah.

[2:12] That's good.

[2:13] The job.

[2:14] Good job.

[2:18] Uh.

[2:18] I'll explain.

[2:19] Yo, the hall and sand.

[2:23] Uh, great.

[2:24] Put some chloride down.

[2:29] Little maintenance here and there.

[2:31] I have to make it on the horseshoe road.

[2:34] I can't do it.

[2:36] Good.

[2:37] I'll do it.

[2:38] I'll do it.

[2:39] I'll do it.

[2:39] You're sorry.

[2:40] You're sorry.

[2:41] You're sorry.

[2:45] You're sorry.

[2:46] So

[2:50] I know down on the short cap rose.

[2:52] So I've been talking about that.

[2:53] Did you have made it down there yet?

[2:58] Or far as.

[3:01] Good luck.

[3:03] So I thought Adam wanted you to go back down there

[3:06] because you'd only been down there.

[3:08] That one time.

[3:09] Yeah, we did that.

[3:09] Okay.

[3:10] That's what I'm asking you.

[3:11] We did that day.

[3:13] My day doctor.

[3:14] Yeah.

[3:15] But the other thing is I noticed that none of them

[3:18] trees have been cut so yeah it is we cut them all down by the brick by the

[3:27] tolerance you can you know no no no no no so I don't think and it's I

[3:32] there's not much I'm just not you I'm just bringing this up in general so it's

[3:38] 105 is a state road but shock at road when you come off shock at road and you

[3:44] back towards Berkshire, you cannot see, you can't see anything.

[3:50] Do you know what I mean?

[3:53] Whatever those trees are going with the red leaves and whatever.

[3:58] And so he, he was going over to tell to you about it.

[4:03] And he said, I have enough trees.

[4:05] When you pull off the shell cap road, you look back towards Berkshire.

[4:08] You can't see anything.

[4:10] Yeah, but it's all.

[4:12] That's what needs to be trained.

[4:15] Yeah, but how it kind of been said is to me about three.

[4:19] But we couldn't.

[4:20] No, it's not.

[4:22] But the problem is, this 105 is a state road.

[4:26] The area is in a spur, and they belong to somebody else.

[4:30] But all in all, I went down there after he told me about it,

[4:34] and I looked, and it really is a bad spot.

[4:37] Because you can't even see the corner when you're pulling off there.

[4:40] Yes, that's how he's a good side.

[4:42] He had a side coming from the Inusburg way.

[4:44] He's a bad side, because the house is in the way.

[4:48] But yeah, yeah, I just didn't know if he had said anything.

[4:52] He was complaining about the house being there.

[4:57] But he said he should have bought it years ago when I went up to see how he did.

[5:02] But yeah, I mean, I can, well, what he said is Inusburg, it's state, but I just don't

[5:09] No, I was gonna just try to get a hold of B-trans because, I mean,

[5:15] chalk hat rolled our road.

[5:17] So people are pulling off our road.

[5:19] I don't mean, actually, that's used for a draw.

[5:22] But we've always maintained it.

[5:24] It's never been anything that they've ever done anything with, but okay.

[5:29] No, I was just checking.

[5:30] I just thought he had said something to you guys.

[5:32] It's a good way to do a talk for the help.

[5:33] Yeah, yep, and then we'd give them some thing a look at it.

[5:40] We probably can knock a few trees out of there.

[5:42] I just don't know, because they're like, I don't know.

[5:46] Yeah, it's an empty thing, so yeah.

[5:50] But speaking of trees, a big pointary on water to our road.

[5:57] Yeah, we have a little more specific.

[5:58] It just passed the marvelous number of growth.

[6:03] It's twin fell a couple years ago on the bank right there.

[6:06] On the bank, oh, it's way out of our right way.

[6:09] So who wants it?

[6:11] I don't know.

[6:12] I don't know if it's the people on the old bar

[6:14] or the ones from that mark, put up the double whites

[6:20] upon top of the hill.

[6:22] I don't know who it wants.

[6:23] I would say it's okay.

[6:25] But they should come down in here.

[6:28] that one there is.

[6:30] That's the old Larby Larby Farm.

[6:34] Yeah.

[6:34] The old Blackboard house.

[6:37] No, no.

[6:37] You got the double wide top on the hill.

[6:39] Yeah, you got the double here.

[6:41] But no, this is coming up.

[6:42] This is the old Larby Grom.

[6:45] Yeah.

[6:45] Like if you come off the middle broker on to the first place.

[6:48] On the right.

[6:49] Yeah.

[6:49] The old Clarby.

[6:50] The thickest old Larby.

[6:51] Oh, I'm in love, but I'm pretty sure that the ones that own used to be atoms.

[6:56] Yeah, I think so.

[6:57] Yeah, get eyeglasses or something. Yeah, I'm sure they'll be fine, but all. Yeah, because it's now you really see it's hollow

[7:04] So I don't know much longer. It's going to stand up

[7:09] any more

[7:11] Would you be all night saying that because actually the maple tree below that one is

[7:20] Still wide as the top of that

[7:27] You know what I mean?

[7:28] Oh yeah.

[7:28] I'll do that.

[7:30] Just a few weeks ago, I was a little compelled for bombs to see if they had just cut that on up, too.

[7:41] Okay, where is the second one, sorry?

[7:43] Just past the point rate.

[7:45] Good, the maple. I'm closer to the driveway that goes on top of the hill to the double-wide.

[7:55] the first double-wide me mean yeah I mean the trees go live on the bottom but the

[8:02] center so that's pizzer dead and falling down

[8:14] I guess far as update

[8:15] skulls that's about it I know it's a boy talking about a wallet or something

[8:21] yes yes yeah they want to know if they can get up there's plenty of money in my

[8:28] but then I'm very looked it up yeah okay it's a like a jet bomb so kind of like a

[8:34] pressure loss or type thing but it's just it's kind of get all the sign oh oh I

[8:40] call it jet bombs but yeah but what was the average price? I think the one they

[8:45] were looking at was $1,200 yeah and there's still like I think $2,500 and I and yeah

[8:53] highway equipment or whatever, the other, the ocean for that.

[8:59] Well, I'll just go.

[9:02] I make the motion, that was going ahead.

[9:05] And at the point that Danny needs.

[9:08] I can do that too.

[9:11] And that guy

[9:15] would want to do the house home favor.

[9:18] All right.

[9:19] Okay, what's that?

[9:20] That guy came over to garage today for the house cleaning.

[9:24] So what did you guys do over there?

[9:27] We got a call from the...

[9:30] I don't know, he came in.

[9:31] I opened the door and something happened

[9:33] and the alarm, I heard that they were going to call

[9:35] all right back.

[9:36] No, they called us.

[9:38] I knew what was going on.

[9:39] I just went in the codes and said,

[9:41] I could find.

[9:42] I couldn't share it off.

[9:43] No, it's right out.

[9:44] Couldn't you turn it back on?

[9:47] I mean, the door a lot.

[9:48] But it says there's an error in entry front door.

[9:51] I don't know.

[9:51] Okay, but yeah, yeah, yeah, he came over the day

[9:59] I didn't point it five dollars a week a month you told me week. I

[10:05] Thought that was

[10:06] Kind of outrageous to him, but no, he said we don't I'm supposed to send me an email with

[10:16] So yeah, so there's a couple that lives here in Berkshire that was inspiring about doing

[10:24] House cleaning, just the office areas, and you know what I mean, what not, blah, blah, blah, blah, but he's supposed to send me an email with some quotes in what not, they do have business cleaning insurance, you know, all of that.

[10:47] He was going to send me an email, but I don't know if he got the email wrong, because he was hoping to have it to me before if it means they're going to be doing that.

[10:55] It's not a huge thing for them.

[10:58] When we sell those services for here.

[11:01] I don't care about here, yeah.

[11:03] The garage?

[11:03] You don't need anything else at all.

[11:05] No, no.

[11:06] I don't know if I can do this, but it's an act here or whatever, but we'll say it.

[11:09] I'm probably still alive.

[11:11] I don't know if I can do this.

[11:13] Yeah, but I thought, I know.

[11:15] Yeah, I'm here.

[11:15] Good idea.

[11:16] Good idea.

[11:18] No.

[11:18] They live right around the corner.

[11:19] Yeah.

[11:20] Basically, walk up here.

[11:25] Watching the TV.

[11:27] Because for this office, it was going to be $80.

[11:32] Really?

[11:34] A week.

[11:34] So, it's double what we pay now, but of course, what you guys pay now is very, very cheap compared to what you would normally pay anybody else.

[11:47] So, you know, there was something else I wanted.

[11:49] 25, obviously.

[11:52] Well, yeah.

[11:53] So, yeah, no.

[11:54] We'll just go to playing that once a month.

[12:01] I guess that's it.

[12:03] Somebody else has got something?

[12:04] Um,

[12:08] as the generator has been serviced yet this year, I don't believe so, no.

[12:15] Okay.

[12:16] Now, I don't know if they were supposed to come and serve a second.

[12:19] That was my next question.

[12:21] So, is it Coring himself or didn't he save the company or...

[12:25] I can't remember that.

[12:28] I can't remember that.

[12:30] To follow back up on it.

[12:33] I believe we did ask service after the sale.

[12:35] Yeah, I do.

[12:38] Yeah, yeah.

[12:39] One of our main.

[12:50] Yeah.

[12:50] All right.

[12:51] I can do that.

[13:00] There may be wallings here.

[13:02] You know what?

[13:02] Look at that.

[13:03] We got to do something with that light.

[13:05] Here on the building.

[13:06] Just to keep it on the building for now.

[13:08] Oh, Joe.

[13:08] How about take a look at that wall?

[13:10] When he comes.

[13:11] The way he is.

[13:12] Oh, he already has.

[13:15] He never got back to jail.

[13:16] Well, maybe he comes.

[13:17] the generator maybe he will. It would be good timing.

[13:24] It's so putting the light back in because it's still working is more of a construction

[13:30] thing than it is in a electrical thing according to health because it needs some kind of

[13:36] a board behind it. You should hold it there. You should be able to do that. He should be able

[13:41] Help us, everybody.

[13:43] I will discuss that later.

[14:00] Oh,

[14:06] we didn't get our greater tires.

[14:08] Oh, they did come in?

[14:11] Yeah.

[14:11] Oh, yeah.

[14:12] You got two.

[14:13] Yep, yep.

[14:14] Keep going.

[14:14] We're last on the ball.

[14:17] Oh, yeah.

[14:17] Yeah, they're 1800s.

[14:19] Last on the ball, they were 2200.

[14:22] And they're Michelin's.

[14:23] Oh, yeah.

[14:28] I just go here for now.

[14:31] He said the price was going to go up.

[14:36] No, we've already got the bill.

[14:38] No, we've already got the bill.

[14:42] No, I just didn't know if you were.

[14:47] No, he said if I heard him correctly as saying it for some reason,

[14:52] and Michelin is dropped the price on a lot of their tire type.

[15:00] There is for municipalities or something because he said, if you were to buy that diary, it cost you a lot more.

[15:07] So I, you know, who knows for so long. But I was thinking, when we do our budget, that I was going to budget two more.

[15:18] And I ordered right off and I have to get some bracelet on and then that's the issue

[15:27] of what that's going to do.

[15:31] I don't know if I'm going to try it on.

[15:36] But I should work to recind it in the budget.

[15:39] I don't know if I'm going to try it on.

[15:46] Whatever I mean, I just don't understand.

[15:53] I'll have to look at the budget, but I think we had 5,000 in there, you spent 500 on, I don't

[16:00] know what it was, or you put a light bar on the mirror, and then you just spent 3600 and I think

[16:09] there was, yeah, so you're pretty close, yeah.

[16:13] I mean, another $3600 for tires for next year, I think it's bits are about $4,000 or $5,000

[16:24] for a set of m. Yeah. Right.

[16:27] Del. But that always can you order me the minor equipment, but we're buying a lot of

[16:34] something that don't have them hooked up in my head right now. So minor equipment we had 35

[16:43] 100. So buying that jet is not a problem.

[16:51] Greater is 6,000. So right now you're at 4,000

[16:57] of what you've spent on there. So there's still 2,000 and 2,000.

[17:03] I mean you need to

[17:03] just go through whatever. I can see what I've got for filters. Filters I'll take 2,000 and

[17:13] Yeah, I'm just saying you know, I'm just talking about the 1000.

[17:18] Don't you want to see all the spring?

[17:23] Uh, not the nose.

[17:27] That's all you're talking about John here.

[17:30] Yeah, okay.

[17:32] Okay.

[17:34] I mean, we get them from NAPL.

[17:36] NAPL has got the numbers to match.

[17:40] I mean, I mean, I imagine they would.

[17:44] Yeah.

[17:44] All right, I mean, it's up to the beginning, I don't know.

[17:49] Long as it is the same spec, can we name it?

[17:53] It's a cheaper, also.

[17:58] When we can do that,

[18:04] what else is that?

[18:11] That was a great income, good.

[18:14] Good, I mean, I mean, Sean's been doing it by himself.

[18:20] So he's been doing the gravy in that.

[18:23] He gets done doing that and sprays it with chloride

[18:25] because we're on sand, so they go, not quite half done, I would say, and basically everything

[18:35] down on that end, a little bit on this sand, I'd like to do.

[18:40] So that is, well, somebody come in and on a potato hell to roll again, doing it.

[18:46] Well, he did prepare the hell half of the potato hell up to grabs all quite a few other

[18:52] the last week, and today you finished that, and Skunk Hollow, or Potato Hill, and he did

[19:01] Skunk Hollow, and then, today, did Potato Hill.

[19:05] Okay, because I'm assuming the trap is probably going to pick up there for a couple of weeks.

[19:11] Well, I'll try to eat a lot of real food, but I think we're supposed to have a little bit of

[19:14] The body is starting to chop against it all, the handle of our inventory got one of their

[19:19] core pieces already done.

[19:20] Yeah.

[19:20] Oh my god. And somebody else should go around them.

[19:25] So everybody's getting antsy.

[19:27] So I'm going to imagine, you know, I would say, yeah,

[19:29] I'm just going to get, it's going to be a bit too

[19:31] here pretty soon.

[19:32] We see, we will check in his corn another day.

[19:35] Oh, yeah.

[19:38] But I'm

[19:47] using else for a highway department.

[19:49] Oh, I have a driveway apartment, a paving grant.

[19:53] You do.

[19:54] All right.

[19:57] So this is the one that was

[19:59] discussed before that Mark put one in on Skunk Hollow.

[20:04] Okay.

[20:04] Albert.

[20:05] We had talked about it before.

[20:07] Danny just signed off on it so we do need approval from the select board.

[20:12] Jason will have to sign underneath here and I'll just fix it after.

[20:16] After it's approved.

[20:18] I make a motion that we accept.

[20:21] Oh, second.

[20:23] Good morning.

[20:24] What is that in it?

[20:25] All right.

[20:26] It wouldn't be party party.

[20:27] Yeah, it was a, at the last meeting we had, we did talk about it.

[20:31] Yeah, yeah.

[20:33] We knew that it was going in.

[20:34] It's a driveway for a month.

[20:35] Yeah, no, no, no.

[20:36] The owner, Chris Bonoie.

[20:38] Yeah, was no call for it.

[20:39] No, no, no, no, no.

[20:40] That's a good part of Saint Peter.

[20:49] Well, paving grant.

[20:52] This is just to get reimbursed from what we did up there.

[20:55] But I do need approval and everybody else decide that.

[20:58] All right.

[21:02] You want to make a motion that we accept that?

[21:04] Make sure.

[21:16] So, right here is just where I need at least three signatures on that side, thank you.

[21:37] So it's one of the things I

[21:44] do.

[21:46] Oh, there it is.

[21:50] So, this we do every couple of years for Joe D'Amara's up there for the Salvador General.

[21:58] The state requires the town to still approve the site or whatever thing up there.

[22:04] I see there cleaning up.

[22:05] Yeah.

[22:06] For their taking stuff out and processing it.

[22:11] Yeah.

[22:11] I got up to devices.

[22:13] I drove up around, I drove up around when I went over and looked at the road there.

[22:18] You're going to be able to get the pit and the color, then steal color, it's cleaned up and stuff.

[22:25] That's what I want to ask.

[22:27] Is it a grant?

[22:29] Maybe J.

[22:33] And we'll take ours down and start crushing culverts and picking them up and getting rid of it.

[22:41] I have the pits of mass. There's culverts all over the place. There's two things that we've got to be in the brush pile that's scattered all over. We could use the thumb to pick it up, put it on.

[22:51] Yeah, I don't see no color cleaner up. Good, yeah, before we get reprimanded for it, it's a hell.

[23:02] Oh, it's clean up, yeah, clean up at all, it's clean up at all, it reminds

[23:10] me.

[23:10] You've got some barrels of gear, you can probably go.

[23:14] Yeah, we have barrels. Yeah, we have good idea.

[23:16] But we took out River Dan back out on the nation.

[23:20] We Jason Dolores uses a little mini and it didn't work very well.

[23:30] But we opened it up song.

[23:32] We got some water going through it.

[23:34] Then a couple of days later we went back up and they had it plugged up again.

[23:41] And then Mark St. Peter called me, he said, you know, he said, my 230's parked right down there.

[23:47] He said, you want to use it, take it. He said, but so we grabbed it and we got it cleaned out.

[23:56] So I worked out, of course, you can get closer.

[24:01] You have more of a reach.

[24:02] Yeah, drove this on the way up in a calvert and that did it played it out good

[24:16] See the motion on this side of the chair. I make a motion that we accept as provided. Oh, I'll suck it in

[24:25] Oh, I'm favorite

[25:02] You know, I don't

[25:04] We're about to clear up dates.

[25:07] There is not.

[25:09] Taxes are coming in.

[25:10] Awesome.

[25:11] We're able to pay lots of bills.

[25:14] Actually, borrowing any more money.

[25:16] No, no.

[25:18] We can pay off the loans pretty soon.

[25:21] So hopefully in October we won't have to acquire any more interest.

[25:26] So I'm good.

[25:26] Yeah.

[25:28] Good.

[25:30] We still have more than half of the tax goes to class.

[25:33] But it's so good.

[25:34] Are you going to be open on Friday for, no?

[25:39] So we are more talked about it, but because people don't expect us to be open on Friday,

[25:44] and taxes aren't due to our Monday, we were kind of doing that 50-50 thing, like, do we

[25:49] say, here all day for five people?

[25:51] Just a little bit.

[25:53] Yeah.

[25:54] Yeah.

[25:54] Are you Friday?

[25:56] Yeah.

[25:56] We'll just have you come right over here and say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[26:01] Yeah.

[26:03] But I know we're still talking about the Friday before.

[26:07] We may come in here.

[26:08] You gotta come out and fry it.

[26:09] I gotta come in.

[26:10] I'll go get it.

[26:11] You gotta go.

[26:12] I'll go.

[26:14] Every Saturday back for a five day week.

[26:16] I'm going to ask him.

[26:18] I just want to sign up.

[26:19] Yeah.

[26:20] Pretty good shape for winter, for everybody.

[26:26] Yeah.

[26:26] I guess it wasn't high.

[26:27] I don't see any hiccups yet.

[26:30] I mean, we get our salt contract and what would happen if we put a little bit more salt on the black top is less sand, try it.

[26:45] It's all, you know, there's a big part, a hopeful down, it's, you know, good idea.

[26:49] I mean, just try to cut back on, you mean, like, put some salt down there first.

[26:57] Yeah, like, try to, on the black top, just to black top, you know what I mean, it's all

[27:03] we, it's the only time when you salt it's on the black top.

[27:06] I mean, last couple of years we've used more than we've ever used.

[27:10] It

[27:14] was like the soul's trying to get us to cut down on salt, but we can't cut down much more than we already have.

[27:19] But are we talking at using going out and putting straight salt the first time we're re-asking, and just on the black top.

[27:30] We've had build on it.

[27:32] Try to, yeah, maybe we won't take so much seeing.

[27:36] I don't know, like trying to get it a little bit.

[27:43] You've got to do it by each stall individually.

[27:47] If you're going to get six inches of stall,

[27:49] they much sense of putting salt down.

[27:52] But if you get an inch, well, I'll find some salt down.

[27:56] I've always liked my mix because it's even dark and nice.

[27:59] I prefer to put mixed down.

[28:02] Because the salt that you put down, we're putting it heavier than we normally would.

[28:07] And when salt goes down through the ice, you have nothing.

[28:10] the sand will stay on top and give you a little bit of grit. That's why I do that.

[28:17] But

[28:20] I can always, you can always, you can always, you're going to try it.

[28:27] You're going to win get it.

[28:29] Yeah, yeah.

[28:30] Yeah,

[28:33] yeah.

[28:33] It's got a good shape.

[28:37] The main part is a male in it.

[28:39] That's three quarters full.

[28:44] It was pretty, yeah.

[28:45] And the sand is about three quarters both to about one more day day and a half we'll be done

[28:51] Okay, but we're now getting it from leach and we

[28:57] I left a little bit down the pet. I like to have

[29:02] Thousand yards down there up in the back for back up

[29:07] But can you move that one?

[29:09] You can but you have to make a lot of it to get a little

[29:16] So, I mean, once we get done things calm down, I'll probably have something to go down and

[29:21] sift a little bit more sand out, and we'll probably maybe sift a little bit more brow oil.

[29:26] I don't know.

[29:27] Yeah, that's that quarter report to them that I need down your M-shawing port at the end

[29:31] of the month.

[29:33] Yeah, okay.

[29:33] Just remind me.

[29:34] Yeah.

[29:34] I mean, if you guys plan on going together and doing some more work, I'll wait till.

[29:39] I'll remind you when October 1st comes that.

[29:43] But it's all done, it's

[29:59] motion.
