Thursday night – Dad’s birthday

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

Tuesday night – comings and goings

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 !

Nite all. nite sam

Monday night – look up !

TOday was all about looking up.. I came out of D2 today and saw Alia SN1 flying.. always a treat to see her (but not hear her 🙂 fly by 

Minutes later on the way home I saw the most brilliant rainbow over richmond

After dinner diane and I took a fast walk up to the gorge.. Always nice to see.. it’s still running high after the rains>>
kinda sad that the reinforcements that got put up after one of the last floods  have been tagged.. why do folks do that ?!

In th e theme of looking up .. this si what we saw on the way home from the gorge.. What the heck !?!?!

I guess its fair to say that things are looking up 🙂
