LavaCon 2025

I spoke at the LavaCon this week. My presentation was very well received. There were well over 100 folks who chose to attend my presentation. Afterwards we had a supplier meeting in Cartersville and a hike up Pine Mountain. https://www.lavacon.org/ It was good to enjoy some brief moments with a llama as part of the conference. And it was good to meet up with lots of folks I have got to know over the years.

Things are going good. I am moving my projects along, slow but sure. Summer has finally hit In Georgia. I almost gave myself heat stroke today in the attic chasing "remuddled" wiring. The pandemic has taken some toll. We miss traveling and plan on starting that up this fall. A few pics from around the house.
