Not much happened today. had a very productive work day at home. I finished up some wiring and code for a Beta work project and made good progress on the theater props I’m doing for my friends Julianne and Belinda. One is a magic staff that has remote controlled swirling leds and a super bright white flash accompanied by smoke. The other is a collaboration I’m doing with another maker on a ‘magic harp; that plays itself using electroluminescent wire. Super fun.. but its got me in another time bind.. grrrrr how do I keep doing this to myself ?
Fun gathering at our house this evening !. Our good friend andrew and his imaginary wife Sarah, dog Josie and their friend Margaret are in town for a couple of weeks. Andrew is an old burning man. friend of ours. His wife sarah is only imaginary for the fact that most of us have never met her. .. (I actually did meet her in an airport for a few minutes once) By day Andrew’s an environmental lawyer and environmental law prof at stanford and berkeley. and an avid cyclist. . but on the playa he’s a great dusty philosopher . I can and have talked to him for houras about many topics.. mostly regarding environmental health
Having Andrew in town was a great excuse for a potluck at our house for our burner buddies.. Amey made a burnign man pie . Coco made turmeric brownies .. Gizzo and Laura bruaght their doggie Belle. so we had 2 dogs in the hosue again.. .
Super fun for a school night ! nite all, nite sam -me
Diane and I left the hose early this morning. I was headed to meet my friend Liz at a meeting at and Agency of education technical center (CTE’s) event at the Lake Morey resortLiz and I were there to talk to the Citg folks about first robotics. ‘Diane and I had planned to take a hike before the meeting. We almost didn’t get to because our GPS tried to take us down a road that was more like a ditch. Anyway we got there with enough to take a nice albeit cloudy hike up bald top Mountain
The CTE meetign was fun and interesting. I ran into several old freinds thereir .. Doug, Chis, and Jim in particualr
i I don’t think we made any first converts on this trip… Tech centers are not really a good position to do after school type programs. I’d like to continue to work on that though.
It was really nice that Diane came with me .. it was a beutiful drive !
we began today with a quick hike up to duxbury window
We were working and cleaning the garage today so that we can get both cars in when it snows.… Kyle came over to get some more of her stuff so it was really great to see her. We decided I’ll go for a hike up Bolton . It was some sort of huge mountain biking event at the base Lodge so we headed back down to the quad and hiked up the lift line and then down some of the wilder trails… We tried to go down Adam solitude but couldn’t stay on the trail so we ended up GPS in our way back down to twice is nice. It was really beautiful and really fun catching up with Kyle.
