Busty day at work, but made time to tour some of the high school kids from Hackclub through BETA. Super smart people !
Late afternoon , Diane , Gabe and I headed down to Waitsfield for the ‘Pre-party’ for Jack and Britta’s wedding. It was at the ski area and was so fun
Jacks Dad Mike made a short welcome then it was just eating, drinking and socializing. It was great to reconnect with so many of Gabe’s high school and college friends ! They all spent so much time at our house.. it braught back some really great memories.
When it got dark we had more fun with the plasma cannon gabe , sumner and I built for Jack..
Diane and I drove back to Jonesville.. Gabe stayed as part of the wedding party..
We’re starting to get in the main work of re-doing the clouds for the burnoing man fluffy bis. One of the main things we’re doing is upgrading them mechanically and electrically to (hopefully) be easier to set up and more robust. Fingers crossed. One of the things I did to improve the process is to build a tester that allows us to test individual clouds . today we did some work to inspect and test the clouds.
Began with watching some hummingbirds at the feeder. The birds actually recognize Diane and stare at her when the feeder is empty 🙂
After a good day at work, Diane and I headed to Stone Coral to meet up with We met up with Hannah ,Olivier and Deb. for Open Mike night. Our friend Gary presides over the festivities.. And our friends Nate and Avery were gonna play. I think the last time i really heard Avery play on stage was at Sam’s memorial … when she and our friend Jane played Keepsake by State Radio
Nate is about to head out for a 3 month research boat trip as a video editor. I lent him my guitar for the night.. but he says he doesn’t have room in his bunk to take a guitar with him.
Avery and Nate did the only practice they’ve ever done in the parking lot. Nate had a banjo too.
it sounded as thought they’d played together forever..
It was such a gift to be able to hear them.. good friends !
