Driving north from Mt Tremper

While driving up to Woodstock Brewing to have lunch, all along the way you see the railbikes--even on a crappy, gray, rain-soaked day they are out there!

I enjoyed a flight of local beers at the Woodstock Brewery (PS - I lked the stout the best!)
It was like a monsoon when I left the Brewery!!

At John's camp - August 2023

John, Paul, Chad, Gary and Rich had a good time at John's camp on Paradox Lake in the Adirondacks.

On Tuesday, Captain John took us on a boat ride:

Wednesday morning we went kayaking (no photos).

Of course most of the time we chatted and chatted and chatted - it was great! :-)

New Garden Plot

I added another garden plot in the backyard for next year

I added a layer of leaves - these will act as fertilizer
I then turn them over into the soil - they will decompose over the winter months.

Private Tour of WMHT

On Thursday August 11th, 2022 our family was given a private tour of the WMHT studios south of Troy, NY. We met all the staff and saw all the various studio rooms - it was amazing and the folks there were very cordial and informative.

We are looking at a photo of their first studio.

The WHMT sign on the wall was unveiled revealing a Plaque...
Yep that's Kittie (my older sister) and my proud Mom!
This room was amazing - this is the main TV control room. All the "boxes" on the dual screens are camera angles
Yep that's my son Greg with my Mom!
Here we are in the main TV broadcast room 
The vibe here was pretty awesome!
Hey - look at the silly family!

They even prepared lovely food/refreshments for us where we sat together with the executives and chatted about Dad, Mom and the impact WHMT had on our lives.

Needless to say it was a beautiful moment for us all and nice to know the contributions our parents have made to culture and education in the upstate area...
