Clock is ticking down

The end of the year, 2014 is approaching. The weather in Duluth is fabulous, once again. Waking up to -6 Fahrenheit, clear skies, "lake smoke" and the smell of bacon. Today we plan to hang the first of the mirrors that will enhance the store's walls. I plan to hang dampers on the Ludwig action, polish up some springs, and return the 3 new hammer shanks, that I stained to match the older ones. Paul will reinstall those soon. The humidifier in the store will have worked hard in the night, and will need to be refilled. Although the store is closed for business, there is plenty to do, especially in preparation for the Grand Opening in a couple of weeks. There is reason for celebration in a couple of days, but no room for complacency.  Another year-end approaches.......
