Puzzling here why the pictures I took of yesterdays sunset are appearing for today.. but that aside.. Look at what the sunset looked like. It’s due to the fires in Canada. Strange that a disaster far away can create strange beauty here / Note these are not retouched.. it looked just like this !
This morning, diane and I took a quick hike up to the Duxbury notch. The air still smelled smokey .. it was one of those days that went from clammy to muggy back and forth as we hiked.
Very busy day at wrk as we prep for big meetings this week. I did get time to give my freind Dov and his family a very quick tour of Beta. Dov is a good freind of my friend Shmul’s.. we last hung out on a very good day in 2016 that included a Phil Lesh show in Vegas. He has a lovely orange family !
Later this evening we went to our neighbor Franks 60th birthday.. it was good to see so many freinds from the neighborhood. The settign sun on the way over qwas dramatic again.. but not as cool as yesterday.
Woke up thinking about my dad on what would have been his 94th birthday,.. can’t believe it been 10 years.. I still talk to him every day.
Miss you dad !
First job of the day was to meet my friend Tyler for a project were doing for the green mountain field days. We’re working with ECHO to create a total energy meter for everyone who rides the bike generator. Its going to be a great event !
.
rest of the day was very busy.. Took a short break to walk my friend Theo around BETA. I’vw known him since he was a little kid. His dad and I did a few science shows for the def back in the day. Now, he’s a physics major and would love to work at BETA someday
Through out the busy day, I kept my eyes on the tracker I put in fluffy… She’s on her way out to burning man by flatbed truck. It was great to see her progress.
happy travels Fluffy

Greetings to Fluffy in NY state..
Diane and I wnet for a walk after dinner and got bombarded by mosquitos.. THey chased us out in to the huntington !
Today was a day for visitors and departures. First visitor was my good friend Evan. He has a mobile car detailing business.. and camew over to do both of our cars. he did a great job ! and It was really nice gettign to spend some time with him.
Just as Evan was leaving a very nice and unknown woman and her husband came to the door.. Turns out her nme was DIane Stratton.. She and her sister used to live in the schoolhouse just before I bought the place in august of 1982 !. We loved showing her around the house and getting her recollection of what had changed and what had not. Actually she’s sort of part of how I found the place. Diane and her sister Laurie lived in the schoolhouse in 1982.. and were friends with our good friend Paul . Paul pointed the house out to me one day in 1982.. a few months later I saw a ‘for sale sign’.. and the rest is history !
In addition to these two fun ‘comings’.. there was an importsnt ‘going’ Fluffy was loaded up on a flatbed trailer today and began her long trip out to the Playa.. Good luck girl !
