Good day at work.. then came hoem to finsih of the ornaments i’m making for tomorrows Beta Makerfare. This year I am making (with lots of help from Diane)… Christmas ornaments made out of battery blanks that we use to make models of our planes batteries.… These are just like the real batteries, but they don’t have any goo in the middle. I also had some Aaliyah stickers printed and got some ornament hangers… I also had to make some additional ornament hangers out of mid wire… Because I didn’t have enough of the real kind.… I also had a few earring holders in case somebody wanted to wear batteries for earrings. I even set up a display case using one of Shannon’s prototypes for her “battery”…
It was a late night, but we were ready for the fair tomorrow.
Dane and I woke up early to take a beautiful snowy walk up catamount Trail before work
Had a good productive day at work . At lunch I ran to Michals to get soem parts for the ornaments I’m making for the BETA Maker fair. I ran into my neigbor Ros.. and our freind Marge and her and kevoins super cute baby James
and then at 6 PM my colleagues from Vermonts own MIT club (VOMIT) started showing up. We’ve arranged a tour and I’d expected maybe five or six people but we had 25. Thanks to my friend. Henri, who was also an MIT alum we had enough people to do a tour. My friends really loved seeing what was going on at Beta.
I work week started early this morning. We are hosting some guests from another company. I know a lot of the people from this company through my connections in university and industry. I respect them very much. It was great having them for the day. We had fantastic discussions and I can see a great opportunity to work together. Of course I can’t go into any of that… But one of them out that we had these clocks for all of our facilities… So far they’re all in the same time zone. I had never noticed the one that said lunch which always points towards noon.… It’s like the old adage that even a clock is right once a day…
