Not much to report today. Freind Gizzo came over today to get my Sat texter and some samstones in prep for his trip to burning man.. I’ve got soem serious FOMO about not going.. but I’m looking forward tot he trip we’re doign to Spain and France so much… i’m sure I’ll get over it 🙂
One fun thing that happened today is that I went over to the ECHO museum warehouse to check out a bike generator that we hope to use in the Green Mountain Field Days next month. Wile there I was able to hang out with my good freind Elliott. Always so good to spend time wihth him.. Ellitt showed me the fish holdign taks that are in the warehouse. The ECHO center is undergoign a big expansion, which means that all the fish need a temporary home. Here are some of the transient fishes. THe big ones are coming over the next couple of weeks.
The general thing these weeks is eating everything we can from the garden. Today Diane went crazy making wonderful salads from all the tomatoes cucumbers greens from the garden. Deb came down for dinner and brought shrimp. Delicious fresh meal.
It turns out that the Fluffyites have found a makers space in Reno where they’re going to assemble the bus . nterestingly, it’s also called “the generator” like our own maker space. The maker space is well configured for assembling an art car. It looks like it’s design for it with high ceilings and big doors… I
Assembling Fluffy in Reno 90 mile drive from Reno with clouds on… That means no more than 25 miles an hour. But I’ll bet it beats putting the thing together in the blazing sun on the desert.
As summer winds down, we try to bring it as much stuff from the garden as we can. These are some of the last red right tomatoes we’re going to get. We’ve been eating tomato sandwiches once or twice a day while we can. Pretty soon, it will be frost and snow… It’s nice to have this little taste of sunshine.
Looks like fluffy has made it to Nevada!… Tomorrow they’re going to start putting her together.
TOday we still smell the smoke from the Canadian fires.. It’s still making the sunrises and sunsets strangely beautiful.
Fall is definitely coming… Diane continues to bring in the bounty from the garden before the frost gets here
We had two sets of visitors today… One unexpect expected and one expected. The unexpected visitor was Dr. Michael Sax…. And his girlfriend (Diane?)… I bought the house from Michael in 1982. At that point he was a medical student at UVM… He went to medical school after many years is being a carpenter in Central Vermont. He went into emergency medicine. His wife of many years died about three years ago.
It was fun showing them around the house. He gave us some stories about the sequencing of the changes that he made. I think he enjoyed seeing what we have done over the last 42 years. We had met briefly many years ago…It was nice to reconnect.
The expected visitors was my good friend Jeff from IBM research and his wonderful wife leslie. Jeff and I have worked together for more than 20 years. In addition to being brilliant and nice.. He’s one of the most rational people I have ever met. It was really nice having them here at the house.
