How much to report today… It was hotter than heck… But we’re trying out our new heat pumps… So far so good. Very nice surprise visit from our old friend Urion along with his girlfriend Olivia and their five-year-old daughter rose .  urion
Was in a band with Sam… He is an amazing amazing drummer… He’s now doing touring all over the world with some pretty well-known metal bands.… Like everybody else we haven’t seen him through the pandemic… It was really great to see his family.
Later on in the day I went over to see Chris. They have a big fire theater next weekend and we’re building some flame effects for it… So it’ll be a busy week.… While I was there I got to see a new word garden he made that it is so amazing
We ended the day with a really nice ice cream and cake get together at our friend Tim and Jones. Just sitting together with Deborah and them on their back porch is so amazing. It’s so nice to look at the mountains from there… It’s so nice to be with our friends again
Diane and I are working on the Richmond area parking advisory committee… We’re super happy with the progress we’ve made in a Denna find new places for people to park when they’re enjoying all the recreation that Richmond has to offer. I’m test driving a new map here so posting it so I can see what it looks like.
‘Diane and I both woke up early today in Endicott so we were on the road by 6 AM coming home. It was a nice drive back… Beautiful misty and mysteriously looking on route 88 heading up to the Northway and then just normal New York and Vermont beauty from there
We got home at noon just in time for some work calls… Then around 530 my good friend Hendrik and his friends Yoschi and Nargis showed up for dinner. They’re renting a cabin in eastern Vermont… But took the time to drive out here to see us which we really appreciate. Unfortunately yesterday Yoschi Broke his left arm into places when he fell off a rock at Bingham Falls… That meant an evening trip to the emergency room in Burlington an hour away. All that behind him he was really cheerful and fun guest. It was great hanging out with all of them sharing a meal and taking a walk… I hadn’t seen Hendrik in 15 months… It was so good to have real new people in the house !
Today was our good friend David’s 65th birthday… And his retirement day. We were so glad to be in town for that. We pick Linda and David up at 6:30 and drove to Binghamton where we met Linda david’s daughter Andria and her new husband Brian. It’s the first time I’ve met Brian and he is really awesome.
We had a great meal… It was so wonderful to be with his friends. His honor to be here for david’s birthday and retirement day… It’s quite inspirational
We’re on the road back home early tomorrow morning… It’s been a great spontaneous visit with Joe and Pat and seeing friends like Leann, Adam, Linda David Andrea and Brian. It’s so nice to be able to travel again
