We’re trting to get out in the great snow whenever we can. Today we snowshoed up a little ways on honey hollow road.. we climbed and headed along a ridge and followed that back to the road.. we wanted to stay in deep snow, so we crossed the road and bushwhacked back along preston brook. It was gorgeous outside.. and we only saw two other people

Later on, my freind Kasey came over and we got a ton done on the vacuum tube Tesla coil with. It’s taking a long time but it’s been fun. 

I also showed him my old analog coil that my god freind Scott and I made back in..  1995 ..

We got the new vacuum tube coil almost  ready to power on, but I ran out of time.

My relatives, jon, jeane and evan were in town and I wanted to give them a tour of beta before dinner.. they loved beta !!!

it was a perfect night for a snow angel on the BETA helipad !

we all then piled in our car for the ride down to Starry night cafe,w here we mat my other cousins-in-law Billy and Deborah.. and their duaghter Clara  This was a surprise birthday party for Evan who’s turning 30 !  He graduated from Middlebury several years ago and now lives in NYC.. he’s back to go sking in Craftsbury with his mom, dad and two of his uncles lfor the rest of the week.
