No rest for the weary !  Diane and I showed up at Earthkeep at about 10 this mornign to help prep Fluffy the wonderbus for her first real public performance since coming back from Burning Man.The clouds were up thanks to the work of Marie, Gizzo, Aaron and Duane..  I stareted testign the electronics   and software for the lights and the electrical system  for the poofer. while  i did that, diane, amey  and marie started doing the cable management under the bus. Duane, Aaron and rebar findhed the physical assembly. The idea was to assemble as much of Fluffy as possible in the sorta heated relative comfort of Earhtkeep.. then drive Fluffy fully clouded to the burlignton water front in the morning. If we could do that, it will become soooooo much easier to show fluffy to local folks iat all sorts of events !

Our good friend James showed up from Boston area to help. James has been very helpful to me  in the design of our fire system and its safety plan. 

The big test was to drive Fluffy fully cluded up to rout 7.. If it could handle the stepp and potholed road int earthkeep . anything else should be easy !>. We knew we only had a few inches of exrta clearwence.. but it worked !

 

It worked !.. Now back tot he barn for a little more testing including runnign the lights !

 

Looks like its ready-ish.. Duane and aaron are meetign here tomorrow at 9 and beginging the slow drive to BTV. Dianw, James and I would be meeting therm there. 

We were pretty beat on the way home.. we stopped to buy groceries and picekd up some yummy indian food at ‘aromas of India’ in tafts corners.. our new favorite place to eat !!!

 

busy day.. we’re bone tired.. but happy

 

nite all, nite sam
