My friend Shawn is coaching a new FIRST Robotics Championship (FRC) team in Montpellier. Its one of the 4 new teams we’re launching this year. Shawn arranged for all the coaches to get together and socialize at Positive pie in Montpelier..    THere’s so much great energy already with this team. I’m soooooo psyched !..

Its reallyy fun to see FIRST grow in vermont !

Ben came over for dinner tonight to plan out our camping arrangements at   burning man. Usually I camp in a tent.. or sometimes even under the bus, .. but this year we decided to go for a little more comfort. Ben, diane and I are renting a camper together ..  We worked out who’s picking up what , when, how we’ll slit the rental, etc..    

I guess We’re really going !

We left our airbnb early in the morning for the trip back to vermont. By an accident of google maps qwe ended up taking the Q.ssex-Charlotte ferry which was a fun and pleasant surprise

We were eager to get home bcause our FLuffy freinds were comign over for an inner tube float and potluck . THey showed up by 1 and we headed down tot he winooski.. It was a hot day and the river was slow .. it took us 5 housrs to float from our house to Richmond.. It was so nice and slow.. we had lots of time to talk.. I even took a nap while floating !

Fu way to end a very busy weekend 

This week we’re starting the gear up to burning man.. will be busy !
