Sitting alone after a long day that didn't work out exactly as planned. I had the whole day to myself.. One of those rare days where I didn't have anything to do for anyone else. .. it seems to happen about 3 times a year. I used it to catch up. First I went to generator and fixed the webcam there.. then I went to Firehouse gallery and restarted floorish with the help of my friends Colin and john.. then I went to Chris's to help him prep for his solstice burn (happy solstice).

This was Chris's 14th burn.. my job for tonight was pretty simple. I was to have provided the simple electronic ignition to make the sun go off in Helios's hand.. We went there this morning and tried it out.. everything worked fine..

the trouble is.. tonight.. noting worked….

Plan A was to use a fancy electronic igniteors that I made to ignite the sun in Helios's hand.. that didn't work.. no idea why… despite a full dry run.. .. Plan B was to light a backup fuse that should have lit the hand.. that also didnt work.. Plan C we made up on the spot.. we had the fire breathers blow fire on the guys body.. that worked great and looked great..

No one watching would have known anything had gone wrong.. but I was left wondering how both plan a and b had gone so wrong.. gotta meditate on that,

It was beutiful and OH -so frustrating.. no one knew it didin't work as planned but i did..

need to learn how to weather those defeats better

might all, nite sam
