Not much to report today. Freind Gizzo came over today to get my Sat texter and some samstones in prep for his trip to  burning man.. I’ve got soem serious FOMO about not going.. but I’m looking forward tot he trip we’re doign to Spain and France so much… i’m sure I’ll get over it 🙂 

One fun thing that happened today is that I went over to the ECHO museum warehouse to check out a bike generator that we hope to use in the Green Mountain Field Days next month. Wile there I was able to hang out with my good freind Elliott. Always so good to  spend time wihth him..
Ellitt showed me the fish holdign taks that are in the warehouse. The ECHO center is undergoign a big expansion, which means that all the fish need a temporary home. Here are some  of the transient fishes. THe big ones are coming over the next couple of weeks. 

Not much else to report..

The general thing these weeks is eating everything we can from the garden. Today Diane went crazy making wonderful salads from all the tomatoes cucumbers greens from the garden. Deb came down for dinner and brought shrimp. Delicious fresh meal.

It turns out that the Fluffyites have found a makers space in Reno where they’re going to assemble the bus . nterestingly, it’s also called “the generator” like our own maker space.
The maker space is well configured for assembling an art car. It looks like it’s design for it with high ceilings and big doors… I

Assembling Fluffy in Reno  90 mile drive from Reno with clouds on… That means no more than 25 miles an hour.  But I’ll bet it beats putting the thing together in the blazing sun on the desert. 

Good luck friends !

As summer winds down, we try to bring it as much stuff from the garden as we can. These are some of the last red right tomatoes we’re going to get. We’ve been eating tomato sandwiches once or twice a day while we can. Pretty soon, it will be frost and snow… It’s nice to have this little taste of sunshine.

Looks like fluffy has made it to Nevada!… Tomorrow they’re going to start putting her together.

I have to admit I have some serious. FOMO
