I woke realizing that today would have been my dad’s 92nd birthday.. Man… I miss that guy !

Happy Birthday Paw.. thanks for being my Dad !  You were such a great role model ,  I miss you every day !

today was a big day for fluffy.. there was a public demo of everything we had working.. fire, lights, music,etc..

That meant first getting fluffy outside !.. no small feat !

There were about 100 people who showed up to see the things that were workign and the things that wernt,. It went ok.. I wish we’d had more done.

I did this in honor of my dads birthday.. he could still do this into his 80s !

There was a 7 day reporter there and she made this nice piece a few days later.
