had a great day down and cut. We started with a hike at oakley corners .. I New York state park near Lynda and david. We were able to let Willow off the leash and run through the snowy trails… We saw some crazy stuff including a clown doll hanging randomly out in the woods and a crazy not-that-old Honda wreck sitting out in the middle of nowhere. It was really hard to figure out how anyone had gotten a car that far down in there .

I had my tracker on and it’s funny to see the tracks of us looking at that old car

One thing about this trip was watching the world situation in Russia and review Crane evolve… Our friend Dave is Ukrainian… It really drove it home

Around mid day we headed over to see Diane’s brother Joe and our sister-in-law pat. It was so great hanging out with them. They live in ‘Diane’s parents house that they fixed up so nicely. Joe still has a lot of my father-in-law GabÉ’s tools… I went through them one more time and got some cool stuff for me and for our kids

Later that night we went out to a small family style Mexican restaurant in Downtown Endicott Called grandma’s. It was so good!

really nice day!

We learned this week with Diane’s great aunt Jeanme Had passed away… She was Diane’s grandmother’s sister. We decided this morning to drive down to pay our respects and see some family. It was a good call.… We changed some of our plans for the day and for the weekend and headed out after a short hike.… The drive down was nice. Two great huberman lab podcasts and we were there. I first thing we did when we got in the car was to go through our favorite car wash… Always a blast

We’re staying with her friends ‘Linda and David which means also staying with their dog Willow… Who’s always happy to see us. It was great seeing all of them

Definitely feeling the two years of Covid lockdown/coming of mud season blues. Spirits were lifted when our friends Victor and Patti came over for dinner. Super fun hearing about their family and all their adventures

Very quiet day here… I’m trying to be a little bit more regulated about when I’m working and when I’m not…. I’m trying to reserve Wednesday for my IBM work. I spent the day taking calls in my shop and soldering while I could for one of my projects.

We did get out for a short hike a part of Robbins… The snow is still beautiful
