It was a nice slow rainy day here today. Cool and gray for most of the time a little burst of sunlight. The main exciting thing that happened today is Diane ‘Kyle and I hiked backed up to the Simpson mountain tower. We did it in a nice fall rain… We were pretty soaked by the time we got back but it was a great hike.

I love discovering all of these great hikes so near our home

Super busy day. Began with a presentation to about 300 teachers in the Northeast Kingdom… And ended with a really cool meeting about first robotics.… The rest was a normal workday punctuated by a nice visit from my friend Ben from the Cambridge Lab. He and his wife and a couple of friends had been staying at a cabin up in Jay.

They decided to come by our house to say hi on the way back to Massachusetts. It was really great to meet all of them. They were having lunch out by the river.

It was so nice to see Someone from my team and meet somenew people…

It made my day

Night all, nite sam

Today Dianne and I try something different on her now traditional Wednesday Evening Cline with bald Mountain. Today we went up to the wilderness Trail and crossed over to the fire tower came down. It was a great hike. That’s the wilderness steep but smoother than the other way up. It was a beautiful cool evening we were actually pretty cold at the top

It was a great date night so we brought Dates along to eat too !

I love these quick hikes in the middle of the week. It’s keeping us from going insane and keeping that’s pretty fit as well!

Nite all, nite sam
