Expedition on the Charles

Intrepid team LeafLabs ready to set forth

Now that it is getting dark at 7pm and we have broken out the bulky sweaters, it is nice to look back to August and our end of summer team activity, canoeing on The Charles.  With thunderstorms in the forecast we almost had to cancel. In the end though we had glorious weather (despite a few showers) for a blissful afternoon of canoeing and sightseeing.

FYI: Knock off Maples

To our dear Maple & Maple Mini users,

It has come to our attention that "LeafLabs Maple Minis" are being sold on AliExpress. Please be aware that although they say "LeafLabs" on them, they are not made by LeafLabs.  The Maple line was discontinued in March 2015.   That said, the forum is still going strong and the designs are available on Upverter.  

Yours truly,

LeafLabs
