Wind fence patched for the end of the year

Last week we found that some of the hardware on the EY wind fence had broken, which meant some of the main support wires for the fence were dangling free, weakening the fence and possibly further damaging the scrim in any future storms. The main failures were in the all thread that goes through the posts and attach the wire anchor points to the post. We had a limited window today to go and try to patch the fence this morning, so that's what Randy, Mitch and I did. Forecast promised us some sun, but that never really materialized, so it was pretty chilly. Fence is patched up now, Randy and Mitch will return the lift to LEXC this afternoon, after everybody thaws out.
