Really nice and quiet day up here. We woke up early and hung around the house and work. Just before noon we made our big trip of the week which was into Essex Junction to buy new running shoes for the two of us. It was actually pretty fun. I’ve been running on the same shoes for several years… And sometimes I use my fathers old shoes. But Sean our physical sports guy Tells me I need to do something else if I want to keep my knees going strong. So I have some flashy new yellow and black shoes.

This afternoon we decided to go for a longer hike. We drove one car up to Bolton Valley resort and then drove back down to the sugarhouse on the Bolton access room. We walked up the vast trail to the intersection of the new part of the long trail north. We then took that on the ridge between button notch and Bolton Valley Rhoads. It was beautiful. Somewhere between six and 7 miles.… We came out took a look around Harringtons of you and then hiked back down

Heading to bed now. I needed a day like this

Nite all, nite sam

By the middle of this week I realize that 80% of my job was turning into organizing, project managing, meeting running, etc. etc. etc. all the things I really don’t enjoy it and I’m not particularly good at. I committed the last two days of the week to actually making things. I wrote a bunch of code… (Not very good code)… And made a lot of stuff. In fact I spent the entire day soldering and wiring even as I did all of my work meetings. If anything I was a little bit more attentive than I usually am because I didn’t have a screen in front of me.

A little experiment confirmed that I am much more productive when I’m actually trying to make things than trying to organize things.… We all have our strengths 🙂

UGG… Tough day at work. Nothing was easy. People are cranky. Process is stuck. Meetings sucked. How’s everybody else doing?
