Good day at work.. any day with LEDS is a good day.   

Today was special  as my very good friend Lori , her BF mike and their dog Louie came by for a visit.   Lori and I worked closely together at IBM> We were both on the  leadership team of the IBM  Academy in the mid 2000’s . As part of that we traveled together to meetings all over the planet.. china, russia, australia, south africa singapore .. .and (I beleive) made IBM a better place to work for its techcnial community. 

Today she and Mike were coming from Maine where they just bought a new house.. on an island !.. Thsi si a big change for them as they’ve been living on a sailboat for the last.. 3 (?) years..   It was so great catching up with them.. and Louie,. 

It was really fun talking about old times and old friends.. 
We really enjoyed their visit.. hoping to go visit them I

Maine sometime soon !

Diane and I have been masking and sleeping in different rooms since she tested positive for covid last week..   We’re getting close to the 5 day boundary. I tested and I’m still negative .. which is nice.. we can now get back to normal-ish !

Just realized we were originally goign to be coming back from New Mexico today.. but changed our plans due to Covid. We missed a night of camping with Max and Becky.. but  we did get a bonus weekend !

This evenings clouds were magnificent.. 

looks like interesting weather coming  !

Dianes gardens re really producing now.. We have lettuce, kale, asil. asparagus, berries.. We start every day with a smoothy.. it’s a great way to get your Kale quaota for the day

 

I get a new yorker cartoon by email every day or so.. and this one turned up.. I did a little checking on our hot sauce inventory and this was spot on.. Sent it to Max and Becky who are also hot sauce aficionados
.

We spent several hours at Fluffy today getting her ready for an upcoming event on July 3rd.. and longer term getting her ready for her next ride out to the desert.   
I spent some time checking out the fire rig .. there are a few small improvements I want to make for operations and safety. Posting these pics here to remind me what I intend to do

Nice quiet day
