I was totally focus on leaning out the new lab today. The lab is a smallish room in the barn under Diane’s yoga space. It’s where I keep all of my electronics and weird science stuff .. My personality.. my ego.. is totally connected to that space.. which s why it disturbed me so much  that it’s been such a mess over the last few months. Diane and I have been cleaning daemons over the last several days. We’ve thrown out a ton of stuff.. and given a bunch more away .. We are trying very hard to un-clutter our lives. . I couldn’t find my camera for most of the day.. so I don’t have the normal play-by play pictures that Id normally have.. … it wasn’t much to see.. I walked in there about 7:30 this morning… and left about 5:30 PM. I fund so many things I’d forgotten I had.. then through them out !  by the end of the day the placed looked like a place whee you could work !

All the test equipment was neatly stacked…

And the electronic components were neat and snug in their closable bins.

Ans the machines were neatly spaced on the workbench.   I Know that it will only stay in this pristine state for a day or two.. but I’m going to enjoy that day or two very much !

We took off around 5:30 to go to hire ground. Our house band :Forever they Said’ was playing in a Hardcore Festival at Higher Ground tonight.  Three of the band guys.. Pucket , Nick and Jeff  Thad been in Sam’s band Black Knight Vengeance.  This week.  .. Pucket, Jeff, Nick. Jordan and Kyle had been practicing so hard for fear of sucking.. and it payed off.. They were Amazing !.. They opened the show and instantly … had the crowd flailing.

I could sense Sam moshing with the rest of the kids there.. It was a short 20 minute set.. and I just loved being there. I was so proud of the guys !! They really, really sounded good !.

Pucket wore the Sam shirt he designed to the show…  That made me really happy !

Once the ‘Forever they said” set was over, we took off.. We had to get back to our friend’s Bill and Gina had invited us for dinner. Gina’s brother Kevin is up visiting… He’s a very cool guy. Very smart and very interesting.

Bill and Gina’s last name is Haddock.. and they served us Haddock.. very convenient

We had lively discussions about cosmology, biology, snowboarding, astronomy, climate and personalities. I alway love talking to these guys.

Right now I’m having trouble staying awake.. so I’m going to stop here.. More tomorrow.. more cleaning planned.. who-hoo.. Talk to you then.. you tomorrow, Sam !
