j1I had an incredibly busy and no so exciting day working.. so I’m bringing in a pinch hitter for excitement. While I was working yesterday afternoon, Gabe and his biddies accidentally ‘fell’ from the richmond bridge.. the funny thing is they fell many times.. and kept on falling.. I myself have fallen from that same bridge many times..
Woke 'early' this morning… (8 am) to find most of the entire campground still asleep.. Hat what happens when the last musical set ends at 4am.. I actually hit the hay kinda early last night.. I caught the absolutely wonderful late night set of STS9 with Ben and the folks from the bio bus.. But I decided to skip the 2-4am set of The Eall, a pink Floyd cover band (not huge fan of pink Floyd.. Not sure why) the sts9 show was the perfect ending of my visit to the vibes.. I really like electronic music.. And this was exceptional stuff.
Overall, the trip to the vibes was great.. It was wonderful hanging out with Gary and his family, paul, and kenny. The uvm students had a ball, and did a GREAT job showing off their project. I had some great requirements aching for my hoop p roject and I met lots of nice hippies.. One other thing I noted was how many people figured out that I was from the Colony.. In fact it happens more and more now. I think it's because the show is now on Netflix. That's always fun. Because people have questions about the show.. It was also a good place to come from while we're there talking about the benefits of solar power generation.
I'm feeling recharged from my trip..music does that for me. It's funny how I can channel the energy I get from music and people into my work.. And I need that energy right now. I'm insanely (!!!) busy at work and trying to focus on 3 key projects.. This will be a busy coming set of weeks… I just need to keep the music track going in my head
🙂
Nite all, nite Sam

Another day at the vibes.. I spent the day talking to folks about solar power .. The day was clear and warm.. Nothing like the cold rain of yesterday or the 100+ temps of this time last year. The weather put folks in the best possible mood. The funny thing is… The whole thing made me a little restless.. I'm enjoying myself.. And at the same time I'm thinking of all the stuff I need to do at work and home. Wish I could drop that worry….
Anyway.. It really has been a Greta trip.. The uvm guys have had a great time.. Which was important to me… And I had some great time to test out my hoop.. Once again last night I had many folks come and ask to try the hoop. Feedback has been great.. But I really need to drop the weight. I noticed one woman today who has a professional sequencing hoop set.. $400 each.. I am eager to see them.. Here are some hoop shots from last night..
today was a perfect day for showings folks solar technology… Here's Gary's solar oven backing cookies

Folks were always hanging around the bus.. It had a really nice feeling
The organ donors guys are a few tents down.. They have a samstones on their table which makes me happy
The bio bus guys had a good crowd too on their optical and electron microscope demos..
Here's the bus from the bay side
Some real colorful characters here
Jeff and I set up the solar scope and I showed hippies the sun.. Not much going on there today.. Just one small sunspot.. Do you see it ?
Ran into lots of folks from vt
We were talking when everyone started looking up.. 5?planes making computer generated messages in the sky.. I Thout it was very cool until I saw it was an ad for a casino
We also had folks doing pedal power to help charge phones.. .. Beleive it or not.. One rider usuall cou ld provide enough power to run all th e many phone charges we had going
Always something cooking in the solar stove as well
Some things were jus like last year.. Ugh !
Heard some great music.. Mickey hart was great.. As was deep bonanza blackout t heard everything fine either from the bus or near the stage
We've just set up the scope of r tonight.. Should be fun…

Nite all, nite Sam

I'm wearing a coat to fight in the cool weather here a welcome far cry from the steam bath of two days ago… We spent the whole day Huddled inside the bus talking, programming, eating and drinking.. A perfect vacation day.. Though I'm missing my family.. I here the first few notes of bob wires guitar drifting thought the window, so I better make this short.. Tonight will be a long show..
