Let&#39;s see what the day holds for a rather sleepy moose. If it&#39;s too wet outside I shall continue tidying the &quot;office&quot; so I can (a) lift the floorboards to check the wiring, and (b) rearrange the furniture layout in here and think about carpet tiles on top of plywood as an improv...
