moved dome to CAO

We moved Bob's fiberglass dome to the CAO this morning.

I picked Tony up from his home and we drove to his shop. Geoff was waiting (with a bed and frame loaded in a little VW). We loaded the 10-ton with our gear. Meanwhile, the guys in Mississauga (Dietmar, Gilles, Stuart, and Eric) moved the parts of 12-foot dome, except for the large iron ring, from the backyard to the curb. We quickly loaded the truck. Off to the Blue Mountains. The rest of the crew made the trip faster and unloaded the garage.

What a beautiful day!

It was lunch time. We ate al fresco, discussed the location and base for the new dome, and bemoaned that we had to leave soon—it was shaping up to be a spectacular night.



After unloading the dome parts to the garage, we then unloaded the National book shelving to the basement of the CAO. I dropped off the 3 strings of red LED lights for a later installation in the pergola. We applied aluminium tape to the south wall of the GBO. I shot photos of the Planet Walk for Tony. Tony showed off the generator shed. Completed a few other small items and headed out.

Tony and I returned to the shop, swapped vehicles, and headed home.

One step closer to our own robotic dome.
