thursday night – door wires

Early this evening DIane and I met Duane, Wiki, Gizzo  and Rebar  at Fluffy to discuss some of the changes we’re making this year. We also picked up Kristen on the way,…  which was great to get her out. We discussed a bunch of things.. but the biggest topic was how to rewire the  lights on Fluffy’s handicap access door. One of Fluffys features is that we can pick up differently abeled folks and give them a tour of the art at Burning Man.. or where ever else we are. .. 
In our rush last year to redo the clouds, we ended up having to split the lights on hthe door into 2 of fluffy’s 16 light channels. . For that reason and some power routing issues, opening the door now means keeping about 8 feet of slack in 6 wires.. and protecting them as the door is wrenched open and shut.. Based on our exploartion today,. and a very good insight from diane we realize that we can move all the door lights unto a single channel. We can also move two power supplies closer to the back of the bus leaving only 1 wire (!) that has to be moved when open the door.. It’s take some work.. but it’ll be worth it.. 

we drove Kristin home to Hinesburg and all grabbed a quick light dinner at Papa Nicks..  

Long fun day

Nite all, nite sam
