Really nice to be home. We spent some time settling in this morning and then I opened my birthday present to myself. A new very small tesla coil built for me by my cool friend Eugene in the Ukraine. It is truly a thing of beauty. I decided to buy one rather than build one after several failed attempts at making something small enough to take with me on travel that would also be robust. This is everything I had ever hope for. Travel worthy, powerful, and wirelessly controlled.

I just realized I didn’t take any movies of it playing music. But here’s a little test run of simple pulses

Tomorrow I promise I’ll put some music on it. It is truly amazing to hear. So clear!

Around to Diane and I took the dogs up to see Livys lookout. The snow was pretty deep and there were places where we wish we have had snow shoes. But any place we need it snow shoes would be hard for the dogs. We all got to the top and it was well worth it for the view.

Check out this ice !

The only bummer for the day was that we were out with our good friends Wendy and Jack First stop was an Indian restaurant and the second stop was to be a comedy show.… Right before dinner I started feeling Really queasy and (you don’t want to know)… But I had to excuse myself and get an Uber home. Suffice it to say that the Uber driver was kind enough to stop several times to let me… Well again you don’t need the details

I’m home in bed now and feeling pretty good. Bummed to miss the evening but happy to be feeling good again

Tomorrow’s another day

Nite all, night Sam
