I seem to have caught some sort of mild stomach bug on my trip to china this week..\u00a0 Doing a little nothing is what my body, mind and soul felt like doing.. so it was good.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One thing I did reflect on s that today was the temple burn at Burning Man..While\u00a0 I had hoped to be there this year, I had too much stuff going with work to make it happen. I&#8217;m not that sad to have missed it..I think I need to adjust my thinking and plan on doing it every several years. a visit there can last you for several years i think.. It was funny. Burning man was very much on my mind when I ran across this cartoon in this week&#8217;s New Yorker..<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/sep0212\/IMG_5200.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We didn&#8217;t exotically do nothing today.. the morning was actually quite full. Diane took me and the dogs on a surprise run in the woods on a new trail she learned about last week. It&#8217;s the Preston rook trail off of the Bolton Notch road.\u00a0 it&#8217;s only a couple of miles from here .. but we&#8217;ve ever seen it. its&#8217; about a 3.2 mile loop\u00a0 that takes you by beautiful\u00a0 preston pond way back in the woods.. then there&#8217;s a little .6 mile climb out to Libbys Lookout with a beautiful view of our part of the Green Mountains that i&#8217;d never seen .. It was great&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then back to the house for a while.. a short float in the pool.. then Gae and I went and met Marcello and his family, All of us managed to &#8216;fall&#8217; off the Richmond bridge. Gabe with back flips.. me jut doing a pencil. It&#8217;s about a 40 foot drop.. so feet first works for me.. It was just what I needed to make me forget my tummy bug .<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/sep0212\/IMG_5194.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/sep0212\/IMG_5193.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>later in the day, I finished the GSM -arduino interface that alows me to receive SMS messages from my phone to control my flame thrower.
