Cabin fever kidn of day.. it’s the second stick season between winter and spring … the best thing is to get outside.. We did a nice hike through the Richmond Town Forest. Its so near us, but we’ve only walked it once.. We stayed on the trails for awhile then bushwacked down to a trail we knew that heads towards Richmond Pond. On the way we found some cool evidence of hijinx past:
On the way back we found this amazing uprouted tree stump..
perfect place fora.samstone !

Todayt we did one of our favorite loops: catamount trail to honey hollow.. It’s about 7 miles mostly on wide dirt trails. .. just up and down. It was great being outside.
Came down the hill to find soem great bumper stickers on one of the cars parked there.
I ended up goign to work.. had a project that was due.. and almost destroyed it in the process. pretty fristrating.. but I knew I had to walk away and come back to it .
Later at home.. our power was knocked out by a storm. We’d already invited our friend Mark over… we decided to go ahead with dinner by candelight and flashlight. It was great getting to spend soem time with Mark. He and I are working together on FIRST Robotics. He is the FIRST in Vewrmont presisdent and a really great leader.. super hardworkign and always optimisitc
Here’s what dinner looked like in the dark
Lights came back later.. but It was fun to be in the dark. !

Today was leap day… I can’t even remember what I was doing the last day.… But I spent it well. We spent some time setting up our shop in D2 with my friends here.
Tonight our good friend Finn came over to the house for his 14th birthday. (his birthday is not today… Unfortunately… It would be cool to be a leap year, baby) We’d had a plan to go eat sushi, but the sushi place was closed due to staffing… So we drove all the way up to Colchester to try out a new Mexican restaurant… I can’t remember the name but it’s where the old juniors pizza used to be. It was really really good… Then home. Diane made a cake and we hung out and watched a movie. Was a really nice night. It’s great having Finn over… He’s growing up to be such great young man. His superpower is that he knows a zillion obscure facts… Never boring
Happy birthday friend !
