Dianne and I got an extra hiking today. I had a break in meetings so we were able to head up to the Duxbury window on band fourth Trail. It’s one of our favorite hikes. It was no one around and we took it as fast as we could… We even ran some of the way back. There was snow but we didn’t need our snow shoes… We just had a text. It was a beautiful run walk

I ended up on two field trips today… First I rode down to Randolph technical center with my friend Stephan and Sarah from work. We are looking at how beta could collaborate with the Vermont technical centers… Give us lots to think about. Also got a chance to meet my friend Kevin from first robotic so I’ve never met face-to-face

Later in the day Andrea, her partner Taylor and I went over to UVM to visit my friend Sally in the glass lab… And while there we went in to check in on my friend Dave and his progress on this wonderful davenport’s motor. I love seeing these hands-on geniuses at work. It’s really inspiring

As I said yesterday we decided after hiking from the Notch Road back to our house 5.5 miles that we wouldn’t drive and go get our car instead would wake up on Sunday and walk the 5.5 miles back on Doug Brook Trail. That’s just what we did. Another beautiful hike

Later that night we went to her friend Deb’s for a wonderful meal… Here’s our outdoor liquor cabinet

Pretty quiet weekend… ‘Dan and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful snow and hike back from the Notch Road back to our house through the duck Brook trails. It was a beautiful 5.5 mile walk… The trailer has such a great mix of trains… I just wished it was blazed better

We got back to our house and decided we wanted to stay put instead of going back and getting the car… We decided we would try to walk back the 5.5 miles from our house to get the car tomorrow…
