Possible Fall Events

Retro hardware in commons- I’m thinking about early November. A suggest has been brought up to make this a re-occuring event (every 2 months)
RTL-SDR Beginner workshop- ~$30 USB dongle that can be used as a computer based radio scanner for receiving live radio signals in your area (no internet required). Depending on the particular model it could receive frequencies from 500 kHz up to 1.75 GHz.
Meshtastic workshop- Meshtastic® is a project that enables you to use inexpensive LoRa radios as a long range off-grid communication platform in areas without existing or reliable communications infrastructure.

Please sign up to bring some food!

Beverages will be BYOB and in vending.
There is a grill at the space!
If you have a crockpot, please consider using it! We don't have proper kitchen at the space (yet!), so crockpots and instant pots etc will be helpful for supplying us all with hot food.

CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN

Tasks

Connect furnaces on side A- Winter is coming.

Paint zone tarps were mentioned as needing a good wash, if they're to be used in a clean environment. Figure out what the water cooler needs other than a new filter.

Expansion Tasks

Air Conditioning
Door hinges (upper & lower) are loose. Despite trying to tighten the screws, they will not seat flush correctly and become loose again. May need to find the correct screws (some of the current screws appear to have heads that are too large to sit flush) and repair/replace the wood in the frame so that the screws can securely sit.
Add caulk to trim, especially lower trim, to prevent water ingress.
Need to repainted and repaired
Needs to be refinished to allow for better cleaning.
Remove Rust & possibly repaint.
