Thursday night – Shattered

About 5 o’clock this morning Dina and I we’re walking up to the sound of breaking glass… The house was creaking in a huge windstorm. The temperature had dropped about 25°… Unfortunately I’d left one of them tower windows down and leaning against the wall. The wind managed with in there and knock it down. This morning I went up to survey the damage. Three panes of glass including a custom cut rounded one that I’ll have to make again… Serves me right for not Closing the window before the storm ..

That’s what you get for living in the house with about 500 panes of glass

Wednesday night – The return of wilderness Wednesdays

Super interesting day today. Lots of highs and lows. One of the real highs was having a great brainstorming session with some friends about how The mental state of “flow” can affect a musical performance. Really fascinating discussion I am looking forward to more

The other grade high was the return of “wilderness Wednesdays”… Diane and ‘Kyle and I made it to have it most of last year to climb Up one of the peaks at Bolton Valley every Wednesday night.… The place closed a week ago and wow much of the snow is still there you can walk up without spikes. We were going to go up wilderness… But couldn’t resist the urge to go up Vista and climb the fire tower

It was nice being on top of the world for a short bit.… I was gratified to know that snowshoeing and running over the winter and keep me in shape… The mountain felt as easy as it ever did

Looking forward to many more of these climbs in the coming months

Tuesday night – through the mill

Busy day… Manage to break out for lunch and meet my good friend Tim at his new job. It’s in the restored old Chase Mill in Winooski. It used to be a really beautiful small boutique shopping mall… Then it was taken over by my web groceries were Tim was the chief operating officer.… When my web grocery was sold the building became virtually empty. It was so weird walking through all that beautiful space all shattered on the inside. The company that Tim is now running will be moving in there and using some of that beautiful space. That’s kind of nice to know. The offices look out over the Winooski Rapids.… We took a walk along the river and up into the woods. There are trails there that I never knew about it. It was really beautiful

It was very nice hanging out with Tim… Going to try to do this More often

Monday night – unhinged

Beautiful and busy day… I’m back working in the tower now which is great. It’s still pretty cold up there

Not too much to report… I did spend some time last night uploading all the videos that paul and ‘Ellen helped us digitize. It’s really amazing we have about 60 years of family history between pictures and videos from both sides of our family. It’s so much fun to be able to scroll through them

I’ll post anything I find that’s interesting… Well… That’s gonna be hard because it’s all interesting

Speaking of scrolling through the past… I’m in the process of trying to replace and 26-year-old hinges from our kitchen… I had to send them to a hinge specialist to see if we could find me exact The kind of work does art.

That’s it for today
