What to do this weekend?
In my case it is playing with HP3458As, some, LTZ1000s and a few other voltnuttish toys. Other people would be welcome to come.
Have to go over the bridge to another country, though, but get to see my daughter afterwards.
I'll do the yearly oil change on the Honda Civic on Sunday.
"Bridge to another country"
? Last time I checked you had to take a tunnel to get to France, not a bridge. Or do you consider Scotland and Wales "another country" ? I guess in strict terms they are.
Scotland
is another country, with significantly different laws and legal system. Start by considering that trials can have three verdicts: guilty, not guilty, and not proven.
Wales likes to think of itself as another country, but is really just a principality[1].

To emphasise their difference, all texts are written twice, once in English and once in a language where consonants appear in strange places and have even stranger pronounciations. Usually, but not always, the two texts mean the same thing.
English pedestrians in Cardiff were told to "Look Right" but Welsh pedestrians were told to "Look Left". I'm not sure which nationality was more likely to become strawberry jam.

This sign in Swansea told Welsh-speaking lorry drivers that "I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated".

But in this case the voltnut meetup will be in Caerdydd, which I am sure you will recognise is the capital city. I strongly suspect that is actually pronounced Cardiff, despite appearances to the contrary. That certainly isn't guaranteed, e.g. Newport/Casnewydd.
[1] yes, I expect that to provoke a, possibly justified, response in some people
