Today was wonderfuly calm in a relative way.. maybe a minor lull.. but still so nice. I woke up at 8:30 afetr a full 8 hours sleep. I felt liek a new person.. I did some small jobs around the house. Diane has been reallllly patient with all the other stuff I have going. She’s handling 99 percent of the painiing job .. and everything else .. by herself since I’ve been so stupidly busy over the past 3 weeks. Around 10 I had to head to catamount to work on the porject-x monster. I got there in time to see Seth getting a ride down in the tractor.

I saw soem cool stickers on the ‘haunted forest mobile’

They had a ton of volunteers there carving pumpkins. It’s funny…. The place has been completely empty all the times I’ve been there.

We spent some time getting the beast positioned and leveled.. He’s got a great location.

Seth and I spent about 6 hours getting the wiring cleaned up, installing the 2 wiimote numchuck interfaces and testing stuff out.. It was hard working out there.. the generator was running next to our heads, it was pretty cold out there..and we ddin’t have all of our supplies.. Buut we managed.. we used the supplies we found there…

Justin was there volunteering so he hug out an helped us It was really good catching up with him ..!

Around 4 we managed to get everythign working.. so I zoomed back to Richmond to the block party. The main event was the rail jam !.. They trcuked in a bunch of snow from an ice rink..

Sumner was doing soem great vinyl DJ scratching

While Urion kept a beat.. it was a great sound.

Luckily, Gabe had an extra jacket.. I was so freezing I even wore a yellow coat !

The rail jam was excellent.. they brought the  Sam rail and a flat rail..

Here’s Gabe making his first run.

Adah and Senyah were there looking colorful. .

So was Gabe !

Jacki was there with her Sam pin

There was some great music going on..

And… then a bonfire.. what a great evening !

My last act for the night was to cut up the chilis from the garden into an infernal relish.
I ate a bunch on my sald.. and let me tell you its hot..hotter than anything I’ve ever eaten .. Those of you who know me know thta’s saying something.   I cant wait to have soem on my oatmeal tomorrow !

OK I’m gonna sleep.. Nite folks.. Nite Sam
