We got pictures today from Ben, gizzo and rebar… They’ve been working on this project called the golden shower… It ppokes fun at the golden dome project that you know who is trying to get funded for $4 trillion. The basic idea is its Mr T stating in a kitty pool holding a golden dome that float holes as missiles come in and squirt water on getting him all wet. Ben has a permit to have this piece of art in front of the White House for three days. Gizzo and rebar been working on it furiously for the last couple of weeks and it really came out well.… There was a lot of news coverage about this. It’s a serious story saying that spending that much money on a solution that really won’t make the world safer when we could be spending some of that money for education, healthcare, and all the other things this country needs.

Tonight we had normal Tuesday night yoga and we also used it as a small pre-celebration for Diane’s birthday, which is tomorrow. We had a full house and we ate cake and ice cream and saying happy birthday to our favorite girl.… Do I know it does so much for everybody… It’s nice to see how much she is by everyone.… Even though she doesn’t like to be in the spotlight.

shes a wonderful person 1 I love you my girl !

as I always say.. Nothing says love like a full dishwasher !

happy almost birthday my love !

woke up to 13 degrees (F) morning. Winter is not done yet. !    
we headed out dffor a fast libbys hike

we got hoem .. and used the amazing delonghi coffee maker that gabe left us to make some deliciousness.. 

funny story.. diane had heard an intermittent  really crazy loud noise coming from the basement.. we couldnt figure it out until we realized that I had taken  the front off of our electric panel  the other day when we were tryign to debug our lights.. and i’d put the panel down on top of our dehumidifier.. .. it had setteled on the top in such a way that the vibration of the dehumidifier when its compressor was one was amplifiwd by the metal switchbox plate. mytery solved 

.. and even though its still getting cold,  it’s time to take the interior storm windows down… Not so much because its gettign warm (it I. we have soem 60 degree days now !)  but because we can stand looking at all the dead lady Beatles. (they look like ladybugs) they’re trapped under the storm with us. Always fun, moving huge panes of glass.

tonight I lead a ‘show and tell’ session for some hackclub makers who wanted to show off their hardware projects.. we had kids from all over the world. it was amazing to see what these kids have made !!!

nice day
