Part of the running joke this year was how many times I could utilize a NAPA tractor-trailer mud flap to repair something in Chama. The sand tower has three custom made gaskets from that material (one of which passed a hydrotest), as well as the Jordan Spreader, and a couple other things.
It was really impressive to watch this restoration, with different crews trading off jobs in different work sessions. Kudos to Mike for sandblasting the hopper and pressure tank with a $20 Tractor Supply sand blasting gun. He probably has PTSD.
