We headed out just before 7am. I noticed the odometer was about  to hit a magic number 55555 miles !.   

Even cooler is that it happeend right in front of the old IBM buildings that are finally coming down. People may not remember but Endicott was the birthplace of IBM.. wierd to see it being reduced to rubble

on the way home.. we stopped at the Empire Aero Sceinces Museum..  We’d driven by it for several years.. this time we stopped. It was really an amazing  collection and well displayed.. now that I work at an airplane company. this stuff is even more interestign to me  I took way to many pictures !

they had a cool interactive flying model 

one poignant theing we saw was a story about the plane that hit camels hump in the 1940s.. all but one person died .. the surviver lost both leggs and an arm to frostbite. He ended up beign a successful lawyer here in Vermont and lived a long life
the museum actually had a tank that was on the plane.. it was meaningfull to see it.

this also was strange to see:

the drive home was peaceful and beautiful.. got  hioem in time to take a ski from the house.
