The second day at the Maker Faire was much like the first. However, I had a 10K road race to run. So Mike, Annelle and Kathy went on ahead. I arrived at about 10 AM a bit stiff, but happy to have run a good race. Again we had our same “jobs”. The adults and kids loved riding the big car. While riding each would have a big smile on their faces and most would do the “beauty queen” wave – elbow, elbow, wrist, wrist, wrist. After their ride Kathy would give each one a “www.amazingrubberbandcars.com” rubberband wrist band. We did have three big car rubberband failures – sudden snap. But then we had more space and we were making longer and longer runs – tightening the bands more. In about 5 minutes each broken band was removed and a new band was installed. The Faire ended at 5 PM, and we packed up Annelle and Mike and they headed off on their trip home. Wow, what a weekend! We got home and crashed, double crashed – what we learned is that we’re no longer spring chickens. But we had so much fun. Now we need a weekend from our weekend.
