Sunday night – hunger games

First real free day home in several weeks… and we made the most of it. We ran libbys lookout with the dogs.. then dropped them here and went to Hunger Mountain. I don’t think I’v e ever climbed it.. but it’s a recent favorite of dianes.. .. it’s only a  2.1 climb but it has some  some steep boldering… .. a beutiful day to be outside.. 

FIr

it was pretty cold at the top.. so we didn’t stay too long.. here’s the view over towards the east and new hampshire.. 

 

and here’s the view back towards us. Yo can see waterbury reservoir in the center right. 

 

got home and jumped in the pool. I think our thermometer is broken.. so i accidently heated it to about 85 degrees.. not bad !

 

I was back in the shop owrkign on the cooler for burning many when diane called me out to see soemthing rare.. a hummingbird moth !

it’s an insect that looks, flies and eats exactly like a hummingbird.. nature is wonderful !

 i may have only had a one day weekend.. but it was a really nice one 🙂 

ok.. back to work tomorrow..

Saturday evening – Friendly Skies

At IAD again on my way home.. my flight’s been delayed about 2 hours.. which is about par for Dulles.. not sure what it is with me and this airport… I will say yhat I do like flying United.. I do this trip so often that I know know quite a few of the  flight attendants and they always take good care of me. One of my favorites made a point of  coming to find me when she saw my name on the manifest.. and asked me how long I’d be in Vermont this time…    It’salways nice to have freinds when you travel

One nice thign about this unexpected layover is that i foudn the Turkish Air lounge.. and they have all you can eat hummus and babaganoush.. Yum !

OK.. time to go find this plane..

Friday night – Miriam and Henri

tied up some loose ends after a very busy week Left work about 8 PM and still had enough light for a run… Miriam’s BF Henri came to town to pick her up for vacation..  I’d never met Henri.. he’s really nice !

 I made them dinner around 10:30 pm by cooking everything that was left in my fridge.. It was pretty good for cheese  ravioli with tofu and basil tomatoe  sauce and random cheese leftovers !

it was fun to have dinner guests in my tiny apartment !

ok.. flying hime tomorrow.. i’m so ready to be hime
