Busy day,. Diane is down in DC ,. heading down tomorrow to meet up. Without her here I tend to de-regulate.. I forget to sleep, eat, exercise. etc.. Luck for me my good friend Doug invited me out to hike part of the catamount trail near nebraska notch. Doug is a great hiking buddy.. full of stories and a fast hiker. It was a beautiful trail and a beautiful day. I think we went about 7.5 miles

 

Got home in time to change clothes and drive to charlotte to meet Marie. We were doing some check out and repair on Fluffy’s lights in prep for some upcoming local events (New years !).. we quickly found the bug we were chasing. Always wonderful working with Marie

 

 

THen back home to do some fixing around the house. One job was to replace the lights in the front entrance way and tower. The former are about 35 feet in the air.. the latter is up in the cupula of the house..   Quite an adventure just to change 5 light bulbs. They were either burned out or old school vacuum fluorescents. I put in new color controlled wifi bulbs.. great for energy savings. and fun way to change it up.. Any color you want. 

Always an adventure crawling to the top of the house.. I kept trying not to think that I was 55 feet in the air 🙂

Starting an early drive tomorrow. More from the road !

nite all, nite sam
