Arrival Check

The secret stash is empty!

The lock on the door was still missing one screw. One light bulb was out. G. Oliveri from maintenance came over, fixed the bulb and the door latch! Good man!

The window to the guest bedroom is still out of alignment and won't close completely. That didn't change.

No punch on arrival. This was a tradition. It is part of Captain Max's story of St. John. Sad to see it eliminated.
