Aeolus is primarily a one man operation, at least inside the shop itself. This is in part because the whole place is built into part of Floyd's home, and so the experience wouldn't have been the same without his wife Marsha who would take us in and feed us during lunch, or other times when they'd take us to a local restaurant (often times The Big Kitchen) which I loved. Those two were the only people I saw frequently day in and day out. Floyd took me in and let me work around his machinery when he didn't have to, a lot of risk comes with such expensive stuff, so I'm grateful he allowed me to learn around it. Marsha would always be there for us, be it in the mornings when she would offer me hot tea or coffee to wake me up or at lunch when she'd bring us food and gave us a break when we were working. Those two are incredible people and I'm so glad they could let me work with them over the past month.
