Today was a stinker… 94°… And before you say that’s not very hard you got to keep in mind that nothing in our state is air-conditioned really we knew we had to do something to keep cool. Luckily our friend Matt had planned a flotilla event… Original plan was to put in at the Waterbury dam and float back up to our house. That’s over 7 miles. Probably seven hours in slow water. We convinced everybody to put a chase car about 2/3 the way up so that we could get out there… That turned out to be a really Great idea
We started gathering at the damn picnic area around noon. Between cars shuffling and stragglers we didn’t start floating until about one. I think they were about 15 of us. Some of us were from generator some of us were from The preschool that Melissa Teachers at. It was a nice range of people
The water was nice and cool and kept the heat off of us

We got out of the water around 515 at the halfway part Which first 4.6 miles down river. Five of us drove down in Dave’s car to pick up the other cars.
By that time we were all pretty hungry. Most of the group stopped at our house for a cookout. That was super fun.
Tired effect six test fully did an experiment with cooking cookies on the gas grill so we didn’t have to turn on the oven and the overheated house
Around eight we headed over to chris and kims to see the fire circus. It was quite a gathering. They had aerialists even more fire spinners popcorn fresh donuts it was a bigger and better run and then when we have ever seen. It was really remarkable.
Congratulations Chris and Kim !
I had my Peter Cetera in allowed kids to push the button if they told me a joke. That was really fun.
Now ready to try to sleep. It’s very hot still and I think I’m going to sleep in the room we have with a window air-conditioner.
More tomorrow
Nite all, nite sam
