electronics.. thats a combo I really like    In the afternoon my freind Gary and his son Oren (also my friend.. I’ve known him since he was born) came by Beta for a tour. Oren has just declared that he’s studying Mechanical Engineering at UVMN.. and wanted to see what Mech E’s do.. I gave them both a quick tour..  I was able to show him a ton of stuff… which seemed to resonate with him. 

 

it is always fun seeing how amazing this place is through  friend’s eyes !

Last nights storm was incredible.. . I think I mentioned that  last night the wind shook the house so hard  that it woke both of us up…   THe power went out several times.. as it was predicted to do.. At 3 AM our power was out, but both of our neighers were on… but then one at a time they both lost power. We woke to find the electricity on….

But many folks in the state were not that lucky.. Check out this map of power outages as of this morning.. 

 

We consider ourselves lucky !

GOt a call late in the day from my old freind Seth.. He was in town from Colorado for  a sad reason. His brother Ian died last week. Ian was 27.. and had been severely disabled all his life. Its a very sad  time for Seth’s  family..They have been so much .. Seths’ brother Steven  passed away in 2015 

Despite the sad circumstances, I was happy that he could come over for dinner with his friend John who lives nearby. It wa good to see them both
