replaced hexapole in q2b with a pristine one but the collar seems a bit tight

scheduled msss for monday, danny says the rf controller board should be repaired today or tomorrow

no new leaks

saw victor walking in as I left, only helena otherwise

still no sign of the passports or foreigner i.d. back from the home office, but not yet overdue, either

the 2013 Brownie/Wiley challenge is burgers, but since burgers here are such shit I got a bye and am allowed to still participate with kebabs.  went to Troy but they are now ZamZam.  YumYum.

filtered the apple liqueur, it came out well

returned the back fence to original state, ie, removed it.  garden is now open to the alley, but easier for the moving van and they can go back to marketing it as having two parking spaces.  ready to move, old town will rule

brief run to The Circle, then back down to Ferndale along Cricklade

locked bike now that fence is down.  shoved the iron bunnies and Tim the Gnome into the shed until the move

Stopped by realtor for the tenancy applications for the house in Old Town, paid app fees, will email signed copies to them on tuesday 2 Jan

finished the beer challenge (2012 Brownie/Wiley production) with 1 at work and another at lunch.

Tallied up the damage to the wine stocks this holiday--6 bottles of sparkling, 3 whites, 2 ports, 16 reds.  Still have 5 reds of no merit and a bottle of vin Santo awaiting the biscotti, plus half the sloe gin and a bit of single malt, and some beer.  We might just make it.

B4 flooded, but put the B3 mass specs back under vacuum and conditioned the MCP's

After clean-up, refilled the chilled water recirculator and found no leaks.  Assume it was something to do with the supplemental cooling installation (which still remains to be done)

Put Q2C, Synapt2 and the Ultima under vacuum, set MCPs to condition
