Well, Happy New Year!!! As mentioned in our Christmas dis-invite, the stress of the season and the relatives, friends and other hangers on reached a crescendo... and as they vacated the main oil heat in the house here in Barre City shut down, and for New Years Eve and Day we have been relying solely on the Propane fireplace inserts and affection to keep ourselves warm.
"Tis not the season to be purchasing heating oil filters and accessories" So New Year's Day finds me chillier and chillier. I predict snow here before the weeks end... Other than this minor inconvenience, I would say we have welcomed in the new year with style and grace. Our greatest concern for Joe and family in Japan. As far as I can tell, the temblor hit Ishikawa prefecture, which is on the other side of the island from where the Harts are. This will no doubt come up at the meeting... We need to restart hacking the Android Fire Tablets to operate LineageOS. We are currently stuck not being able to root the fire tablet, but we are getting closer.... with the addition of central heating, Winter means more computer and software tinkering, the season is upon us... The good news is that the Pentadome (http://docbox.flint.com/~flint/pinwheel/pentadome) our summer project is still standing on the slopes at SugarTower, and you can get there by snowshoe. Again, we really need to include ideas for new projects. That said, bring this and any other problems and questions and we will do our thing! This evening as we do, we shall again gather at the York Library, it is an excellent facility, and located at... 135 Mill Street, in East Barre. https://www.google.com/search?q=135+Mill+Street%2C+in+East+Barre.&oq=135+Mill+Street%2C+in+East+Barre.&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160l2.974j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Again, this meeting accommodates remote participation, I will let Jit.si do the heavy lifting, it seems to work just fine.
