We meet on Tuesdays at 7:45 pm, at 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA. Let me know if you want to come.

As has been the case since I got back, people who want to come a little early and help juggle boxes will be welcome. Anne and I made progress last week on the small room that needed the 3D tetris skills, and this morning I finally found the box with the printer in it. I have not managed to extricate it from the box and verify that it works, but there is definitely progress happening. The next step is to move enough stuff for other rooms out of the small room that the stuff that will end up in the small room can go there instead of cluttering up the other rooms.

There’s also still a maneuver that needs at least 4 hands to get the media center set up.

A more fun activity I need help with is that there are lots of pictures, decorative ceramics, and wall hangings that need to be hung. One person can do it, but it’s a lot easier and more fun with two.

Now that I have access to the brewing equipment, I find that none of the large pots I acquired for that will work on the new stove. So anyone who finds that they still have things to add to the stew pot when their dutch oven has gotten full, should come take a 30 or 40 quart pot (with spigot). There is also a wok.
