Today was Max’s 24th birthday. Max, Jac, David and Bridget are up here visiting which made it really special.
\nMax, you are such a great person.. we are very proud of you and love having you in our lives !..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What a great way to celebrate Fathers day having Max up here … and a quick shout out to my dad Hugh and Dianes’ dad Gabe.. We love you both ! \u00a0 Fathers day has never been a big deal for me..\u00a0 though I do appreciate the several folks who checked in on me today..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maxs birthday wish was to start the day with a Yoga class from Diane..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then we had a great brunch with Diane’s homemade sourdough bagels. Yum.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After breakfast we headed u[p the Catamount trail for a dip in the stream up there.. It was freezing and clear as usual..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We had dinner around 9.. then birthday Rhubarb pie with Ben and Jerry’s that Gabe brought home from his second day of working there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Max lit the Sam candle before blowing out the candles on his pie<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I gave max 5 meters of RGB LED strip and an arduino which I know he’s going to like having<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

we also gave Max a funny present .. Last week when I went to Kenya I went with my freinds David and Karen\u00a0 to a farm that took care of orphan baby elephants and rhinos \/ I’d found an adolescent orphan Rhino named Maxwell\u00a0 We decided to sponsor him in Max’s honor.. Here’s max looking at the sponsorship docs<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And here’s Maxwell.. He’s a BIG baby.. !I could have reached out and petted him.. but I was told that he could take off a finger wiht no trouble.. so I kept my hands outside of his paddock.. But it was still pretty cool only being about 2 feet away from him.<\/p>\n

So.. it was a really great day.. now it’s 1:30 AM.. better get soem sleep.. I’m still kind of jet lagged..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and happy fathers day all you dads out there !<\/p>\n
