Today Diane went into town and brought me back to surprises. She brought me back if Feldman’s lox sandwich with cream cheese, a container of white fish… And a set of 3-D printing gears that Elliot had made using our new carbon filled fiber

It was gears and schmeers ! (Schmeer It’s a Yiddish word for stuff you spread on bread)

I also want to do a shout out to my late father-in-law gabe… Today would’ve been his birthday. What a great guy!

Another shout out to Elena and Adam who brought by homemade Ethiopian food.… Then they drove home and we ate it together by phone

Not a bad day! !

Nite all, nite sam

Hard to believe it’s Veterans Day again. I’ve been thinking about my dad Hugh

And my father-in-law Gabe

Who were both proud veterans.

I’m sending out love and gratitude for the work they did to keep our country safe

I wonder what they would both make of the political mess the country is in right now?… I do feel it’s turning in the right direction

This morning we took advantage of the last of the sunny weather before the cold front comes in (I hear it arriving outside as I type)

Diane Kyle and I left the house around 5:30 and climbed Bolton to catch most of the sunrise

Nite all, nite Sam

Not much to report today… Maybe collecting a few things from the last few days.

I will do the support to allow an old college piece of maxes… It was the nosecone of a rocket ship… To be the new heat reflector on top of our fire pit. Looks pretty cool

Max and Becky did a cool celebratory Burn last Sunday… Looks like some sort of abstract sculpture to me

And keeping in the color theme… We had a beautiful sunset today

Nite all, nite Sam

I was very saddened to learn that one of my heroes, Alex Trebek died yesterday at HAD. I’ve been such a Jeopardy fan of my adult life. It was made even greater by IBM’s project to take on Jeopardy back in 2011. I was part of that team. I never met Mr. Trebek but I loved his sense of humor

Here’s to you Mr. Trebek

Thanks very much for the

inspiration
