Fall has reached the bone

Hello all,

Well August flew by and September is all of a sudden almost over! Life in Jawbone has been going well. Connor returned from NY to stay for the year as a Facilities Assistant. His first project was helping with the new Pelton Wheel installation. Jawbone will now enjoy much more power thanks to a new improved design.

Joe, Connor, Adam, Tom and Mike Broili (member and longtime Jawbone resident) install the new wheel:
Once the new system was in place and running smoothly, Joe and I were able to get away for a bit and headed to Portland for our friend T-No's Big Woody Classic tennis tournament. Think lots of beer, wooden tennis rackets, and everyone dressed in old school tennis gear. Good times.

T-No and Colleen focused on their match

Will post more pics soon. Hope you all are well and we cross paths soon.

Much love,
Katie and Joe

For a minute in that action shot, I thought Joe was Vitas Gerulaitas.

I was just thinking of wooden racket tennis. Maybe one year I'll grow my hair and come as Jimmy Connors.

Love from a cool fall afternoon of golden blowing leaves and snow flurries along Lake Michigan. After a couple days' visit to Louisville, shooting my mouth of and on the EPA's tag, it was a cold shock.

Peace, love, and a president from Chicago!!
