DIane and I woke up at 3:30AM and headed to the airport for our trip to Santa Fe. Heading to a plane this morning brought back so many memories of early morning flights.. I don’t really miss that 🙂
The flight out was uneventful. Great time to catch up on email and other stuff. I am soooooo much less busy now.. I get a tiny fraction of the email I once did. I still cant seem to stay on top of it though.
We got to Albuquerque about noon and caught the van to Santa Fe. Becky picked us up where the van dropped us.. and we headed to Max and Beckys. It was great to see Becky. Violet and ‘the girls”.. We got hailed on which was pretty cool ! Look at the variety of colors in the eggs they get !
Max came home about 6 and we headed to Los Portillos for dinner.. Great Sothwestern place… I love the food here so much !
today was a bit of a wind down… Everyone is relaxing a bit from the board meeting. At home, we’re getting ready to head out to Santafe. One thing from today.. I got a short movie of the “Pavlov” project plannign tool I built for our team. Our project manager sophia has a button on her desk in North hanger. When we do something good regarding making our project management goals, Sophia can push a. button and this hacked candy machine on Shannon’s desk in D2 releases some food pellets.. (I can also control it from siri using my watch) It’s the best project management tool since the spreadsheet !/. Here’s our friend Henry getting a demo.
Wait.. i’m getting hungry.. better go finish a project !
Woke in the spiral room, because diane’s cough was keeping her and me awake. It was kinda nice waking in the room .. it was our room for many years, then one by one it was used by all three kids. Diane and Sam painted the spiral on the ceiling.. It brought back so many nice memories
Today was checkup day. Mid last year BETA set up our own Medical clinic. PA Travis and RN Vicki have a clinic a few blocks away from North Hanger. They offer comprehensive medical services and everyone has been raving about them. I really like the folks at Thos Chit we use (Jack and GIna) .. and plan to continue to go there.. .. but I decided to get checked out. Vicky drew blood and travis asked me a bazillion health related questions. They also have a very cool body mass and strength testing device. I really enjoyed working with Vickie and Travis.. I got all the lab results the next day (I’m wiritng this several days later) .. and got a clean bill of health. All of my blood panesl looked good and my body mass, strength, weight etc looked good. The only changes Travis suggested was to drink more water, go back to taking soem vitamin D 12 supplements and do a few more triangle pushups to get my muscle mass up a bit. I lreally iked workign with Travis and Vicky.. They even had great music playing the whole time. Turns out that Travis is a big deadhead like me.. we even both had on our dancing bear socks…
Today was a big day at work. We were hosting the BETA Board of Directors for their quarterly meetings. These meetings are great drivers for our small team. We always want to have some new demos to show the board. so we get lots done in prep. This time we had lots of good stuff to show. .. We’re particularly proud of our new aerodynamics demo which is based on a 1949 desk top wind tunnel. There was lots of good energy around this meeting
The meeting was in the early evening. One hillights was that one of interns, Ben and two of his friends from Berklee College of Music provided the music. They were SO good !
Cant go into the details of the meeting here.. but it was really interesting. Food was great.. thanks to Tim and his team.
