THoguhtful day today. I had a bunch of meetings woth folks in burlingotn. I took advantage of the good weather and coaxed all of the folks I had to meet with to take our mmeting outside for a walk. I managed to get 3\u00a0 in that way. I also had lucnh wiht my friend Kerry. I was tellign him babout some of the fun and soem of the struggles I’ve had in coming back from the TV show experience. He said .. “don’t worry, it’s all good”.. I hear that expression often.. ‘it’s all good”.. but never really though of it. He’s right.. the things I’m struggling with … eg. the need to stay present, the need to stay happy at work.. the need towork more with my hands.. are all good choices I’m gooing to make.. It’s a good thing.. not a challenge.. Kerry’s comment gave me a simple but powerful reframing of my situation.. Thanks for that friend…<\/p>\n

The day passed quickly and pretty productivly. after work I met Diane, Gabe, and Kristin in Essex to share a ride up to Gabes Lacrosse game in Westford. It was a beutiful drive on a beutifull day, We sat up on a hill to wathc the game it was so beutifull (even if I was too far away to recognize the players’ numbers)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I ran into my freind Mike out on the fireld.and enjoyed catching up with him.\u00a0 Mike’s\u00a0 dog lola (right) and the coaches dog Tiki decided that I was a dog person. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After the game (near 8PM).. I made the 40 mile drive down to Monkton to see Homer. We have tomake progress on the drive motors for the Burnign Man vehicle. I got to Homers about 8:40.. He had ‘H G Wells’… his intials.. in 4 foot letters in his front yard.. that was new.. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We spent several hours looking at the 1\/4 scale model of the feerris wheel car.. and checking out the motors and speed controlers for the full size device.\u00a0\u00a0
Here’s Homer trying to check the speed on one of the motors He dug the motors out of old forklifts. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Homerhas three of the fdorklift motors and each has an old style switching speed controller. the good news is that I know these exact speed controllers form my time on the colony.. the bad news.is .. I wasn’t able to get them to work there.. I’ve brought one of them home to see if I can trick the controller inot working for us. If I can get it workign, we’ll be all set for our drive components. … the devicce will be able to\u00a0 go forward. backward and turn on its own radius .. I plan to make it so you drive the thing with a Wiimote.. sound interesting ? <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’mjust gettign home now and it’s about 1:15.. time for me to sleep. I camein to find this cool sign that soemone made for the half pipe. I can’t wait to find out who did this.. It looks awesome !
\u00a0 Thanks whoevr did that !<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OKI’m getting so sleepy.. I’ll say gnite.. Gnite everyone.. Gnite Sam !
