When our kids were growing up, the teachers always used to call the last day of school the “happy last day”\u2026 It was sort of like an inoculation against any sort of sadness for something ending.\u2026 Since then we call every leaving. “happy last day”\u2026 This week marks the end of our interns programs. I’ve had a good fortune to work with my friend Isa and my friend Dalton. I’ve known both of them from previous years\u2026 But never worked this closely with them.<\/p>\n

Every entering gives a summary at the end of their work\u2026 Today was and Sandra\u2026 Who I realize now is her first cousin. Both gave great talks. I really enjoyed working with Isa\u2026 She’s with good artistic skills and amazing ability to pick up new hardware and software skills. I think this was her first real shot at programming and she did an excellent job finishing up one of the projects that Shannon invented.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

isa’s dad Lino works here at Beta is a good friend of mine.\u2026 It was funny to have Lino sister who is Sandra’s mom and their mom who is the grandmother of both Sandro and Isa\u2026 This is a real family oriented place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also the last week of work for my friend Dalton. He’s an aero-actor major at MIT. I really enjoyed working with him on a pretty complicated, electro mechanical project. He worked out some of the major electronics and software kink that will allow me to finish this design time as a sideline designed circuit board in the shape of our airplane\u2026 We had designed it last week and submitted it on Friday and had it back in time for him to give his final presentation.\u2026 How cool is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really enjoyed working with both Isa and Dalton\u2026 And will miss them. I hope I get a chance to work with both of them again.<\/p>\n

Outside of work “last day “\u2026 We’re about to send fluffy out to her third year on the Playa at Bernie Man. There is a flurry of activity to get her ready. I have back up equipment for all the electronics\u2026 This will be the first year that I’m out there to assemble the electronics and the systems. We’ve done a lot of work to cross train and tonight we had both fire and light school.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I feel like the stuff is in good hands. I’ve got some serious FOMO for not being out there this year, but we are going on a trip to Spain, which we’re all looking forward to so much.
