Pretty uneventful day. Mostly work calls. I did manage to get to homers for abotu 30 minutes this morning just to say “hi” and to look at his quarter scale model of our burning man car. Homer was  fresh back from Peru sporting a new beard.. lookign good.

He never ceases to amaze me with his ability to turn an idea into metal His quarter scale model of our ferris wheel sofa thing was a work of art.. and completely functional. The final model will be 20 feet tall and will have independently operated, remote control motors for eahc of the wheels. It’s goign to be awesome !I’m going to work out the motor control and remote control stuff.

Here’s the 10th scale (or smaller ?) model that we originally started.. The design has evolved considerably

I can’t wait to begin working on the project again. Homer, Ben. Mitch and I are going to get together hopefully next week to discuss next steps.

After work I went home to work with Gabe on the skateboard half pipe. We were able.. to get the plywood deckign on.. no small feat for us. It looks pretty good. We still need ot get on the masonite outer shething to make it usable..  Gabe tooka  few rides on the rough plywood base abd prounounced the design workable. We’re all proud that we’ve gotten this far ! 

Just as we were screwing in the last piece of plywood my mom and dad showed up from boston… They’re up for the weekend whcih is really nice. They both look great…

THat’s about it for the day.. not much queued for the weekend.. Lacrosse3 tomorrow and hanging out wiht my folks. .. HOpefully enough breaks of sin to get a coat of urethane on the half pipe. We’ll see.. For now.. time for sleep.. Nite folks. Nite Sam !
