I haven't really dug into the new Friends feature, but I have gifted off the news feed until someone did a pretty good job of shooting me down and saying that was a poor way to do it, so haven't really spent much time in-game recently.

As quests go, I'm stuck on the Pyrotechnics, as it's being as stubborn to win as the Yinxing clay teapot a few events back.

Otherwise, most of the week was spent just staying warm as temperatures were well below zero (down to -25F; which also took wind chill down to dangerous levels; at least -50), but the temperature has rebounded to well above 40F, giving us a much needed break, as come Monday, we are expecting a second Arctic blast!

The lamp is effectively done - that is, unless I scare up a 2" fender washer in stainless steel. Haven't done anything with the clock either...

On the other hand, I did buy a couple meters off Ebay - one a model I needed to fill a spot in my collection, and the other I bought for salvage only, using a few bits to make repairs to the two 1940s meters in the picture (by Sangamo Electric Co. - they also did business in the UK as Sangamo Weston).
