Full and fun day.. It began with an eary (for me) morning Jolts and Volts science show for the E21 conference… My friend Mara had gathered school l Librarians from all over the country at champlin college for a packed two days of ‘making’ and exchanging ideas. I wasn’t able to attend yesterday.. but I heard it was great. the librarians toured Generator, made blinking badges and got in all sorts of mischief. Today I was the kick off.. they were a great audience !
I also got to hang around for my friends Jeff and Drrick (from Sparkfun) to hear their awesoem talk on Internet of THings. I got to play around more wiht their open sensor data platform https://data.sparkfun.com/ .. I was a beta tester for it.. t’s simple and secure..very nice job !
i loved this morning.. the only downside was that I dropped and broke my phone. ugh… getting a replacement on monday.. right now it looks pretty cool !
diane and I managed to get a quick hike in this afternoon .. dodging the bugs..
Than around5:30 we headed over to the Lacey’s for their steer roast.. this year it was a benefit put on by Black Fly.. and artist collective which included several of our friends (aaron. mary. joe, connor… )
we saw the first red leaves of fall today as we drove up.. noooooo! not yet !
the centerpiece of the event was one of Chucks steers roasted ona contraption that our friend mark invented.. it was able to roast about 600 lbs of meat at a time.. it swivels in 2 directions to allow the meat to be cooked on both sides. It’s really brilliant.
gabe and his friends were over helping out.. here are a pair of jacks and an ace (lol. thought you’d like that Ian)
gabe was serving meat at the beginning ..
.. ewwwwwwww
after dinner out came ice cream.. gabe. jack and ian helped out on the scooping.
there was great music all through the night.
I was particularly happy to hear Lura H.. haven’t heard her play for years.. she was better than ever.!
we left as it was getting dark.
What a nice summer day !
ok.. gotta get soem sleep. more tomorrow. Night all , night sam
