Super busy day… Trying to get some demos ready before I head out to Portland on Saturday… After a long day at work I’m headed down to Nordic farm to help out with washing… Our new art car to be for our Bernie man crew. Fluffy is based on a 44 foot school bus with a wheelchair lift. Were the process of painting her before we cut her roof off… It’s gonna be pretty fun process. I was in helping remove some of the heaters and trying to fix (Unsuccessfully so far) the hydraulic lift. We did have a great meeting with Kyle R About getting a plan for the lights…
This is going to be an interesting project
End of the day buyer see this cartoon from the New Yorker… Made me smile
Super busy day… But I managed to sneak out of work and take a walk at the niquette ParkWith my good friend.… It’s up in Colchester…I’ve never been there Before it was really lovely walk… Really nice train and some great views of the lake. I think we solve most of the worlds problems during our walk as well
Got back to work to see that the LED competition had continued… So I posted these pictures of our newly refurbished 1949 winter in disco mode
End of the day nice coffee in Burlington with my friends Donna, Chris and Brian… Donna Brian and I were on a TI task force for the state of Vermont for the last couple of years. Brian, who is a state representative, and successfully gotten a bill passed in the Congress supporting the recommendations are a task force… I was kind of a little celebration
Diane is still out in Portland and boy am I missing her !
We’re having a bit of a fun competition at Beto… One of my colleagues put some dancing LED lights on a piece of equipment… I decided to up the ante so I put a little bit of an LED spent on one of our teams demos too.
Super busy today but I did find time to go over to UVM to meet with my friends Sally and Dave. We’re still working on a tribute build for my friend Scott who passed away last August. We’re building a plasma sculpture with a vibrating element… They’ve showed us a very cool Lawrence force demonstration which I’ve never seen. A long heavy wire stretch cross the table tension by weight with several amps of current could be made to vibrate in a magnetic field.… The principles are very simple but it was a very vivid illustration of something I always knew but never tried
What better way to celebrate good physics then to go eat Indian food with dave
