Early this evening DIane and I met Duane, Wiki, Gizzo and Rebar at Fluffy to discuss some of the changes we’re making this year. We also picked up Kristen on the way,… which was great to get her out. We discussed a bunch of things.. but the biggest topic was how to rewire the lights on Fluffy’s handicap access door. One of Fluffys features is that we can pick up differently abeled folks and give them a tour of the art at Burning Man.. or where ever else we are. ..
In our rush last year to redo the clouds, we ended up having to split the lights on hthe door into 2 of fluffy’s 16 light channels. . For that reason and some power routing issues, opening the door now means keeping about 8 feet of slack in 6 wires.. and protecting them as the door is wrenched open and shut.. Based on our exploartion today,. and a very good insight from diane we realize that we can move all the door lights unto a single channel. We can also move two power supplies closer to the back of the bus leaving only 1 wire (!) that has to be moved when open the door.. It’s take some work.. but it’ll be worth it..
we drove Kristin home to Hinesburg and all grabbed a quick light dinner at Papa Nicks..
Long fun day

There was big doings at BETA today.. but can’t go into it here.. but the second coolest thing that happened was that I discovered a drill attachment for sharpening pencils.. modeled here by my friend Justin
It was also special because diane and I met Aaron, Shannon.. just back from Australia and Sophia for an early dinner at the water front. We hadn’t all been in the same place for many weeks.. and it felt great to be back together and catch up.. so much stuff to catch up on !
though much has changed.. one thing has not..
we’re all good friends
