Nice day at home. ‘Diane and I managed to finish up the drainage project on the side of the house. Our friend Parker dug out a 9 foot trench on the river side of our house to help keep the basement dry… So far it’s worked great.… Dianne and I had to put in the metal edging add a ton more stone and I am quick garden clock down and then we shuffle the decorative blue stone on top. We moved several tons of material and it was incredibly satisfying And a ton of work…

While we were working our neighbors the pews all came by. The first time we’ve seen all the males in a family together in years. Was great catching up

Also jumped out to help my friend James rent a standup paddleboard paddle from our house down to the village. Haven’t checked in with them to see how it went… But looks like something fun to do

It’s about 3:30 am and I can’t sleep.. lots on my mind but all good

I’ve been sitting here on the couch trying to catch up on a week of missed blogging. It’s the longest ice gone without

Blogging in 15 years.. hi TA a weird mix of lots going on and not much going on. I have to decide how often I should’ve ronblig so it’s valuable and not a chore .. gotta think that through

Today was fun and busy . Diane and I worked on finishing the new drainage project along the duxbury rd side of the house . Our friend parker dug it out about 9 foot deep and put in a new drainage system to try and keep our basement dry. Diane and I are now putting the yard back together today we moved a ton not eof crushed stone in so we can bring it up to level and get it to match the other side of the house .

While we were working we saw a bumnch of small planes circling. I recognized them as being form my friends at beta. I knew that meant that they were going to get the plane that landed over at Pratt’s back in the air . Sure enough we heard a deep rumble and that huge plane came flying by. It circled our town twice and headed back to the airport , it s a beautiful 1969 Russian antonio biplane . Really nice to see it in the sky ! I

Knew my grid Kyle was piloting

Later tonight we went out to hear some great music in Lincoln . Our good friend john m and friends out in concerts here all through the summer . Great

Music and great people . Tonight was s the Eames brothers band from St. Albans and they were amazing!

Ok that catches me up for a week of blogging . Maybe I can sleep now ?

Nite all, nite sam

Still catching up on a week of missed posts .. it’s hard to get this behind !

On Friday night we went over for a really nice dinner at our friends Gina and bills. There friend Bonnie from Rhode Island was up too. Bonnie is Gina’s good friend from college whom we’ve met before . It was really nice hanging out in the porch enjoying the duffle t cool weather .. it’s been in the high 80’s all week so low 60s felt great. Z.

Bill and Gina told us about watching the plane making an emergency landing in the Pratt’s field . Pretty dramatic !

There was a great old picture of Gina and Bonnie from st mikes in the 70s

Crazy busy day at work I recall, the fun thing that happened is that my good friend Chris who works at mit made a surprise visit with his wife Helen . They had been up at Isle La Motte and came buy around 9pm on there way back to Cambridge . They are both from England and very fun to be around . Chris and I work together on the satori supercomputer which has been one of the most fun things I’ve done in years .. getting to work with Chris is a good part

Of what’s made it fun
