USPS sent me the renewal notice for our PO box at the Shattuck post
office, across the street.
Can we safely let the box --- and the $200 bill --- go? Or might Omni
have some use for it?
I have a key. I believe Matt still has the other.
Sudo's current balance is now* $3,567.91, *which includes the $4000+ of
Bitcoins we cashed out last month.
Income over the past 30 days was *$1,367.59* - which includes a one-time
$150 gift to cover the costs of the U-Haul trip to pick up the new cabinets.
This means we are effectively *losing around $80**0/month, and will be back
to broke by February*. Please check that your payments via
sudoroom.org/humans are processing!
It may be prudent to begin planning an early 2018 crowdfunding campaign,
but in the interim, please set up payments / check on your payments asap.
Cash payments can be given directly to either myself or Charley.

i have installed the bandsaw tires and the saw is ready to be used, but it
needs the plate. it should be 1.5" square, 0.125" thick, made of aluminum or
steel.
it needs a slot cut into it for the blade, but this can be done (carefully)
using the running blade to create its own clearance in the piece.
do NOT use the bandsaw to cut anything until this square throat plate is made.

OK, hope you are all doing fine! Saw the mesh workshop this weekend.
Question : I know someone living on Puerto Rico and nobody has heard from
her since September 18th!
I know the whole island is cut off--in which scenarios could you Puerto
Rico mesh your way back to civilization? I'm totally floored, are they
going to be cut off for long?
Will they be able to fly balloons or wacky ships out there? Drop an
emergency underwater cable to the nearest internet island? How does this
work?

I got new "bandsaw tires" and installed them in the sudoroom bandsaw, and
installed them, but i haven't tested it.
someone who feels confident should go ahead and test it. i set the blade
tension as a guess so i don't know if it's right.
also we still need a 1.5" square plate (0.125" thick) for the hole in the deck
where the blade goes through.

Does anyone happen to have a 208V transformer sitting around, or know where
to best get one?
We have a new (old) centrifuge that requires 14A @ 208V. We currently have
it plugged in to our spare 230-240V outlet. Most equipment can handle +/-
10% of rated voltage, but that is likely decrease its lifespan over the
long term.
For the unenlightened, 208V is two phases of a 3-phase system. We have the
more usual 2x120V circuit instead. See
https://ctlsys.com/support/electrical_service_types_and_voltages/
Thanks!
Patrik
