Wednesday night – done !

It's only 11:30 and im home and I'm already ready for bed. That's quite a new thing for me these last couple of weeks. Tonight we finished our install for the exhibit at the firehouse Gallery. The opening is tomorrow night .. i guess not a moment too soon. It's been a lot of work..l Just like most of these big build projects, you just Don't know what you don't know until you try. I think there's an interesting lesson there for life and for work. Sometimes you must try rather than plan……

Tonight we got the last major glitch (we hope ) out of our device. We had a terrible memory leak Which it turns out my code Had caused. No surprise there 🙂

it was a big relief we all side when we discovered the root of the problem and squashed it. We quickly went across the street and had a celebratory beer before anything else could go wrong.

Walk to my car one last look around the gallery at the two pieces I had helped build . The floorish exhibit at Homer and Karen's really cool water paintings. I'm really proud to be a part of both and I really enjoyed working with both teams.

Tuesday night – working with Max

Another very late night working on our floorish For the BCA show on Thursday. It is been absolutely wonderful working with the team John Colin ken Katie Eric… And Max. Max has been kind enough to come up from New York to help us with this piece. He has been so helpful. I cannot tell you how nice it is to be working with my son on such a cool project. Everybody on this team is incredibly hard-working and competent. It's fun seeing. How much max has learned over the last few years about making stuff, about computers, about design and about installations. I've learned quite a bit from him working together just this last week

. I am feeling pretty worn out because I'm both busy at work and busy with this project. I was telling a work friend about it today and he said very wisely… That years later I will forget why I was tired and what I was working on at work but I will never forget working with Max late into the night on This project.

Speaking of Max… I have to go meet him right now so more tomorrow
Night all, night Sam

Sunday night – Dylan Peters – 2 years.

Two years ago our very good friend Dylan Peters was gravely injured in a car accident near his home. His strong organs went on to save several other folks lives..

. Dylan had been a good friend of Sam and Gabe’s. Dylan was a smart, funny and very able guy. We all looked up to him. I was there with Gabe, Dylan, Dylan’s mom Sue and our friend Matt to see him win first place in the USASA freestyle snowboarding championship in Copper Mountain Co… That’s when I took this picture.. What a cool kid

You and your family on all our minds today. Dylan.. can’t believe its been two year man..   I can’t eat wasabi without thinking of you….
