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.

You really can’t have too much fun :-)

ps Happy birthday to my sweet sister Mary!

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

Today was really nice… It was cold and rainy outside and I worked the entire day… I worked some on cleaning up my calendar, catching up with some correspondence, doing some venting… And then around 6 PM I went into work and got a full six hour day and a beautiful making hardware software etc.… I know that might not sound relaxing but to me it was heavenly

Maybe I don’t understand but relaxing is all about but I know what I like 🙂

The only thing about today I didn’t like is that I missing ‘Diane who’s out on our advanced painting team in Portland… As much as I appreciate the extra week here to get prepped for something at work… I am sure missing her.

OK time for bed
