This week was when we really started building the fire apparatus for fluffy our burning man car. I was lucky enough to be able to call in my friend James from Boston who came up for 2 1/2 days to review the design that chris and I had come up with And check out the parts that I already ordered. Our goal this week was to actually prototype the system which was key to the success of fluffy. I very much appreciated James making the trip up. We would really not have been able to do it without him
after a long day James and I walked down to the lower gorge… It was good to end a day of fire with some water
When we got back to Vermont our friends had started filtering in for our friend Joe’s memorial which would be held on Friday. Here Nate, Avery and Avery start Otis’s.
We’re grateful that people feel comfortable together at our house.
So sorry for the long hiatus in blogging. Let myself get too busy and just laughed the discipline for a while to sit down and record every day. I’m going to try to catch up and keep it going. After 15 1/2 years I really value the ability to go back and look at life.… Wish me luck. Hope some of you were still up there reading
Now where was I ?
Oh yeah.. On I drove back on and went straight to Linda and David’s house… ‘Linda and DIane were still out so I had a nice time catching up with David..
When Diane and Linda got back, we said goodbye and headed north. We had a nice stop along the way at a Lilly garden on the shores of Eagle lake. We bought a car load of lilies from the nice guy who ran the place. It was a really beautiful place to visit !
