anything about the house in Hudson

Wednesday – 12/2/2015 – new office completed, UTM, art opening CGCC

Up early. In office by 8:15 am. Still searching out solutions for problems with Macbook connecting with wifi. Other devices work well, but laptop has trouble connecting and varying speeds. From web search it is clear that my model, late 2013 13″ MBPR is a troubled model with regard to wifi.

Overly long telecon with UTM. Angie Keefer continues to be disciplined and quite good. Ole a bulldog. Seth defensive.

Did other nits. Set up physical therapy appointment for tomorrow at 7:30am.

Final paint on desktop in office. All work now done.

2pm UTM mtg at One City Centre with Seth and Ole to go over presentation to MHM law firm. Ole still doesn’t have details of how things work in his mind. Spole with Brandon Lachterman, send him invoice for work to date.
