this mornign diane and I took a very quick hike up tot eh duzbury window. Its kind of half 2winter still and half spring. Nothing green yet.. but not much white. Lots of ice so we had our spokes on

We always pass this cool rock with a small pond underneat. It’s still frozen ofver. We put a samstoen on it to see when it would fall through ala joes pond in the northeast kingdom.  

At 5:30 I arrived at my friend John A’s house for a really nice gathering that he and friend Emily had organized to introduce folks that were in town for the big FIRST robotics competition (FRCC) event this weekend. This is the first event like this ever hosted in Vermont.. so we got ogether officials from the FIRST robotics leadership  and the FIRST in Vermont leadership >   as well as soem FIRST students . We also had some local business leaders. It was a wonderful gathering.. lots of new interos , lots of plans made !.   This is the start of big things for FIRST in Vermont ! and the provost from UVM .. our host for the event !

Huge thanks to John and Emily for making this happen !
