It was a really hot day today. I managed to get a run in but by afternoon it was well into the 90s.\u2026 The road outside our house is getting increasingly busy as people go to swim in either the Winooski or Huntington\u2026 There were 25 cars there today\ufffc On both sides of the road. People were parking in our neighbors yard\ufffc<\/p>\n

I spent the day puttering in my air-conditioned shop\u2026 Because it was too hot to go outside. Later this evening we headed up to Tim<\/strong> and jens for a socially<\/strong> distant cook out . I <\/p>\n

I guess the flash this shot messed up everybody’s vision for a couple of minutes\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

More tomorrow. Stay cool everybody<\/p>\n

Nite all, nite sam<\/p>\n
