Thursday night – space station

Friends,
    Last night I asked for you all to consider voting for the ‘Shine a Light’ nomination for our friends at Talent Skate park. They’ve been nominated for a $100K grant to support their work in the community. Several folks have pointed out that the process for voting is a little hard to figure out..We love these guys.. so we want to do whatever it takes to improve their chances. If you’re willing to vote.. here’s what you need to do:

1. Register for shine a light
2. Login to ShineALight
3. Vote for Talent‘s nomination by hitting the button as shown below


Thanks for doing that for us…

OK.. what happenede today.. oh yeah.. the end of burning man !.. The guys made it to Vermont late, late last night after thier three day drive back from the Nevada dessert.  I’d arrainged for a big work crew this mornign to help them unpack the truck..

The guys were happy but tired.. really tired..

I got there about 8:15…. but had to start work around 9..   so I

couldn’t hang around. I did get to see Homer and David.. Then went over

to the Markowsky’s to sift through and organize the Time cycle

electronics.

Steve and Eben M. were there working. Eben was doing seem cool artwork for the Art Hop tomorrow..

Steve showed me around the wonderful machines that he and his dad were working on.. Mostly Ferrari’s.. it was a beautiful shop.. filled with beautiful machines.

I said mostly ferrari’s

this one will be worth about $2,000,000 when complete… It’s a living…

I was most impressed with the engine work.. Steve was rebuilding this 1961 ferrori engine.. what an amazing guy.. (he worked out the hydraulic drive for the time cycle)

Even with that early start.. I managed to get in an over filled day at work.. long.. but interesting.

After work, Diane brought Amy to work so I could take her to a work party.. On the way she spotted some solar cells.. she wanted to take them home to the colony .. but I stopped her !

Around 8:30 I walked outside to watch the international space staiton make a spectacular transit of the sky.. it was like a bright star moving across the night sky.. It was cool knowing when and where to look for a cool thing like that..

OK.. gotta go watch a movie a firend of ours was in.. I’ll report on it tomorrow.. Night folks.. Night Sam
