Bubble drip system

Finally figured out how to extend and modify my drip sprinkler system so now it had six bubblers, spaced approximately across the garden. It may still need some hand watering but this should help a lot.

Snap pea trellis

Yesterday I put together a snap pea trellis in the garden with T posts and twine. Hope it works!

Business trip to Waterloo, Canada

Last week I went on a business trip to Waterloo (between Detroit and Toronto). We flew up Sunday, got to the hotel by midnight, woke up at 7 a.m. (4 a.m. California time), and then got the interview scheduled. We interviewed 21 people that first day! Each person got 15 minutes with Mike and 15 minutes with me. Poor them.

I started blubbering about halfway through the day. Luckily by 4 p.m. it was over. On day two we only interviewed five people. Then we drove back to Toronto, and got on the plane.

Well, Mike Smith is crazy. He released our Air Canada seats so we could try to get on an earlier United flight to Chicago. We made it onto that plane.

When we got to Chicago, he saw a plane ACROSS the airport that was currently boarding and said "think we can make that?" I thought it was impossible. We took the shuttle to the other terminal and made it to the gate about one minute before they shut the doors. Huge success! We taxied very quickly and made it to San Francisco while the sun was still up, three hours before our scheduled arrival. :)
