Headline: TRR Tomorrow!
We were all invited to the Demel's house for coffee and something to eat.
Norbert and Renata put out terrific coffee and cakes, then showed us around
their home. Norbert does amazing work and has built many greta features.
Then we had dinner, which Ron documented (see photos). Dinner was the best
- schweinhoxen, homemade pretzels, sauerkraut and mustard.
All test procedure documents are complete and assembled. We are
assembling punchlists (below) and reducing them as much as possible for the
meetings tomorrow.
