Began the day with a check on the basement.. We still have water pooling down there after a ton of new work.. we need to talk to the folks who did the work to come back and make sure its fixed

Went for a nice bike ride down Duxbury road.. We’re trying to add more biking to compliment our running and hiking. I have my dad’s old bike.. diane has my mom’s.. so far they are just fine. Fun seeing our road from a bike. I always see something new..

like this :

Got home .. DIane went up to Jens to work on some tiles they’re making, so I started working on Fluffy documentation (ugh !).. When I heard a knock on the door. It was our friends and former neighbors Mark and Deb. They were my neighbors in Hinesburg in 1981 (!).. then neighbors here in Jonesville where they owned the sawmill across the street. It was really great catching up with them . They’ve moved down to Florida now.. and are enjoying life. Mark’s building a new shop next to their house. He loves working with his hands. THey’re up for a family reunion.. Super good catching up

Just as Mark and Deb were leaving, Brendan W and his GF showed up. They live in Chatenooga now.. where Brendan works on doing methane capture from landfills. It was great catching up with he two of them.. Gave them a tour of the house which was fun..

Later in the day, DIane and I drove down to Fluffy to check on a few things.. Top of the list was figuring out what to do with the fire organ I inherited from one of Max’s friends. We’d traveled down to NYC last year to retrieve it.. then shuffled it from friend Johns rock working shop down to Earthkeep where it’ sat with Fluffy for a year. Honestly,, with fluffy and other projects I just haven’t had a chance to unpack it and get it working. Now we’re getting kicked out of Earthkeep by the new owners.. I have to find a home for this beast.. (it’s 2′ x 3′ x 8′ and weighs about 500 lbs !) ..

We opened the crate and took a look. I was wondering if we should scrap it , find another place to store it, or re-home it. . . It really is a thing of beauty.. it would be a shame not to get it used.. This week I need to find a good home for it !
(anyone out there need a musical fire organ ? )

We’d planned the trip to fluffy as part of a strategic circle so we could meet our freinds George and Jane,.. and their daughter and son in law and grand Alex, Josh and Asher. |

They live in a beutifulplace on Dorset street in Shelbourne. It was really nice hanging out with them and their respective doggies Milo and Luna.

Boy.. is Asher cute !!!!!

Guess that’s all for today .. More tomorrow 

Nite all, nite sam
