Today is friday the 13th..   supposedly an unlucky day.. but it came and went in peacefully .. so no complaints !
First thing is that I took Sarah Ann to her authentic movement friend in SHelbourne It was fun driving around with Sarah Ann. .. Sarah ann and her friend  are going down to an Authentic Movement weekend retreat in Bomoseen (why bomoseen ? no clue).. . Her friend was really nice 

Next stop was BETA.. we’re preparing for the Aviation Field Days  event this weekend. I’ve been workign with my friend Melissa and Tyler on an exhibit for showing people how much electricity you can generate by riding an exercise bike.    

We’re using a bike generator setup we’re borrowing from our friends at  ECHO center. ..  It uses the bikes output to run an inverter that drives one of theose Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Guys !
 I tehn did a minor hackjob to extract some data from the generator control box.. and then Melissa is writing a very cool Node-Red dashboard to show how much energy eaxch rider generated.. abnd keep a leader board of energy productions for the whole event.  

Today we did our first real test of the system.. which goes in to use tomorrow. >> Worked great  thanks mostly to Melissa’s node-red magic. 

later on that evening.. I met Diane and Sho later for a tour of BETA ..and then dinner

Busy day

nite all, nite sam
