I’m down in Cambridge today. We had a really nice recognition event for the whole team that was followed by a pizza lunch and then a wonderful boat ride on the Charles River
We walk to the boat around one. And stayed out till three . We went way up river to parts I’d never seen. It was such a beautiful day !
It was really hard to go back to work after that…
But I did
Nite all night Sam

Worked at home today which was really nice. It was beautiful outside. Got a run in early with Diane
After work main job was to winterize the pool.
The moment I do that is the moment I know that summer is really over. It was about 40°F when we woke up this morning… We’re soon going to get our first frost. Even though the pool water was not that cold it was hard to imagine ever going in there when you had to wear a coat this morning to go outside
It’s a pretty complicated procedure…Hoses are loosened, rings are unscrewed, strainers are packed away… And the pump is back washed until the water level is lower… I can see the summer pumping away as the water goes down. Kind of satisfying and also kind of sad
Nite all, nite Sam

Bit of a crazy day… made from Lots of small pieces.
Started with pancakes with bill, Amanda and james
Working to help our friend James with his move
Then over to Mike and Sue’s to work on reviving the email… The 30 foot keyboard that Mike used to tour with. Greg and I got the thing working without too much trouble… We’ve got some more code to write but I think it’s going to be fun to have around
That a nice hike with the dogs around Libby’s look out
I’ve got a pretty terrible cold… So I’m going to go try to sleep it off
More tomorrow
Nite all, night Sam

Spent the day around the house doing small jobs… It was perfect. One of the jobs was to replace the pole switch on the ceiling light in the mudroom. It turned out to be an ancient switch from the days of it being a school house
This which looked pretty old. It had a patent number on I looked it up and it was from 1925
Later in the day we took the duck Brook Trail back from the notch Road over to stage road
It’s no longer the path of the long trail… So it was empty… 4.5 miles without seeing another soul
We felt kind of guilty for not taking the dogs but it’s way too much per child these days… So we went home and took them on a hike at catamount
Now feeling sleepy and ready to go to bed… More Tomorrow
Nite all, nite Sam
