It was a really hot day today. I managed to get a run in but by afternoon it was well into the 90s.… The road outside our house is getting increasingly busy as people go to swim in either the Winooski or Huntington… There were 25 cars there today On both sides of the road. People were parking in our neighbors yard
I spent the day puttering in my air-conditioned shop… Because it was too hot to go outside. Later this evening we headed up to Tim and jens for a socially distant cook out . I
We got to celebrateour dear friend Martha’s birthday !
We wanted to stretch the night out so that we could all see the comet… Before that showed up the firing range in Jericho gave us a display of aerial flares. We pretended they were for MARTHA’s birthday
About 10 o’clock it was dark enough to clearly see, Neil Waze… It was so cool. You could actually see it with your bare eyes as long as you didn’t stare at it directly. With telescopes it was pretty easy to see. Sorry I couldn’t get any pictures of that. But I did get a picture of us looking. I guess the flash this shot messed up everybody’s vision for a couple of minutes
It was so cool seeing something that until last March no one knew existed. It’s going to come back in about 7000 years so I figured this was as good a time as any to try to catch it.
Today was a big day in Jonesville… They had the field across from us and behind us… I have mixed feelings about that because a)that’s where all the Great fire flies were and b) It invites even more people to park in front of our house to go to the river. I’m really happy people want to go to the river but on a weekend day they will be 25 cars parked in our front yard right across the street. It really kind of takes away from the peace of the neighborhood… But more than that it’s incredibly dangerous people are swerving and swearing and beeping and honking
Anyway… It was fun to watch them hey I think it was my friend Ashley doing it
Speaking of which… It’s time for me to hit the hay
I was originally planning on being still camping today, but we all decided to keep our paired back hogisland camp out to just 3 days . It was wonderful.. didn’t need it any longer
That meant that I had a pretty clear calendar the day. Nice. Gave me lots of time for catching up for being out for a couple of days .
Around 7pm dian, Kyle and I went out and climbed Bolton.. it’s getting to be a weekly ritual.
We weren’t to only ones today there were quite a few folks out on the trail and at the top. It was kind of festive o a socially distanced sort of way
