Scott was on my mind when I went over to our friends the Davises to work with Gizzo, Julianne, Melinda and Doug to build a funeral pyre for Julianne’s 27-year-old son James. He was born with a heart defect and had many surgeries\u2026 He was also a cancer survivor\u2026 He was doing very well and then suddenly in February during Covid he had an intestinal illness and died sadly\u2026 It’s been very hard on Julianne and Melinda. James was a huge Star Wars that\u2026 And he had told his mom that he wanted a Jedi like a funeral pyre. So he was cremated back when he died Julianne’s idea is to take his ashes and burn them on a giant Darth Vader like wooden funeral pyre doused in flammable liquids.\u2026<\/p>\n

We met early in the morning and built up the pyre out of\ufffc\ufffc Pallets, wood scraps and logs. It’s actually really beautiful. Tomorrow (Friday) family and friends will gather and Julianne will put James ashes on top\u2026 And then use it flaming staff to ignite the whole thing. I’m very sad not to be there for her and for James\u2026 But it was good to help build the buyer. With your permission I put the same stone in there as well.<\/p>\n

Life is funny\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I spent the day working and getting packed for my trip out to Santa Fe\u2026 I got back early so in the evening I first headed to Nordic farm for “team vaccine”\u2026 We’re Building a large version of the Covid vaccine to burn at our fire and water festival in August\u2026 It was nice seeing all of our friends there. Then some of them came with me down to Homer’s house\u2026 He’s having a maker weekend with a bunch of old friends. It was great seeing him. On the way down we stopped and actually saw the time cycle which is rusting in the markowskis field\ufffc\ufffc\ufffc\ufffc. It brought back some great and some crazy memories\ufffc<\/p>\n

Max is here to pick me up\u2026 More later\ufffc<\/p>\n

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