20 November 1969, 51.years ago. I remember them bringing parts of the lander back.

It’s been a long week. Glad it’s FRIDAY!

Have a good weekend!

Last night we watched a movie called Geostorm. It had really bad reviews. But the Wife and I didn’t think it seemed too bad, if you ignore everything you ever learned about space and satellites and science..

It’s about a satellite network the unified earth created to control the weather. If you watch it, try to think of the bad parts as being funny, like a firey sinkhole that seems to be targeting a particular teeny tiny car by following it as it speeds down the road. Or the commander telling the technician to “dissect each component” as a method to troubleshoot a malfunctioned satellite. Or lightning repeatedly trying with a will to strike one particular person.

I call it a “Sharknado Class” movie. Super unrealistic and impossible, but fun to watch.

It had good cameramanship, (I wouldn’t say special effects, but I suppose I could, but it doesn’t seem like the right term.) Visuals. It has good visuals.

Wish someone would control the weather around here. Super windy and off and on rain. Lugubrious.

Have a good one! Two thumbs up!

I had a super bizarre dream last night. An airline was making two planeloads of people disappear.

I flew. I landed. I received 150 towels with black and white stripes. Because of this, for some reason, nobody else could get off the (2) plane(s).

The baggage had already been unloaded and was going around the carousel, so people knew their friends and families flights arrived, but the airline was struggling to collect all the baggage and put it in little bags marked “Evidence”.

The airline had no intention of ever letting anyone from either of the two flights go. Never-ever. Their plan was to deny that the flights even existed.

The only reason I wasn’t among those passengers was because of the towels, which weren’t mine, given to me by some mistake and I had to prove the two flights existed and the people were being held.

Why two flights and not just mine, I don’t know.

For some reason, the towels were the reason the airlines had to erase.the existence of the two flights, and it couldn’t be un-did.

Freeeky Deeeky.

Here it’s raining. Again. More. Still.

Perfect.

My repairs on the porch came out, I think, very good. And I did it all by myself. Need to get some paint today. I don’t really like the color though. I think it’s called “Babyshit Brown”. It doesn’t really look like the color in the picture. In real life, it looks much more like baby shit.

Supposed to rain here today. On our dawg walk this morning I saw one planet, zero stars. Now, in the light it’s mostly cloudy. Like 99.99999999%. Totally cloudy. Not conducive for painting. But it will take longer to mix the paint and prep than actually paint. Maybe I can giterdun.

Have a great day.

A humorous t shirt I might get.

A crab at work. I don’t think he felt too well.

Under a bubble in the new porch surface. I started to fix it this weekend.

It was, overall, a good weekend. I trimmed a tree out front, went to the beach and started repairs on my newly repaired back porch.

Now it’s Monday, and I’d rather be off for another day. But I’ll make the best of it.

Have a good week!

My lucky day! Black cats and Friday the 13th’s have always seemed to be good luck.for me. Besides, it’s Friday, what’s not to like?

We went out for dinner at Steak Social last night. It was super good.

My scooter is in the shop today for service and rust treatment. I ordered new springs and mirrors too, because they were rusty. Hopefully it will look brand new and hopefully I’ll get it back today. I’m catching a ride to work with the wife, so probably no beach lunch hour today.

Speaking of beach lunch hours, day before yesterday, my waterproof Kindle Paperwhite got a splash and pretty much quit charging and transferring files. It’s spent the last 18 hours in a bag of rice. We’ll see how it is a but later… But they’re not waterproof at all, in my opinion. When I first opened it I thought that the USB port should have had a cover. Knew it!

Have a great weekend!

I’m afraid I might be getting sick. Sore throat and a feeling like pressure built up inside my head. Since covid started, I haven’t been sick, not even a common cold. I don’t wanna get sick now.

Still have a potential storm to our south, but the weather has been sunny the past two days. I’m afraid to ride the scooter in the mornings and wish I had in the afternoons. Went to the beach last two days and there’s some crazy beach erosion, like a four foot sand cliff from the old beach level to the new. Don’t worry, it’ll all be back.

The week seems longer this week, even though Monday was a holiday. Hope it’s still sunny this weekend.

Ciao!

The 70-meter-wide (230-feet) radio antenna Deep Space Station 43 in Canberra, Australia, and transmitter, used for the Voyager 2 spacecraft, was upgraded and Voyager was contacted for the first time since March. She says hello.

Read the article and/or listen to the story on the BBC HERE.

As I said before, I think the two Voyager spacecraft are the coolest thing humans have ever done. They will be out there probably long after humans are extinct.

The weather outside isn’t looking too bad this morning. I hafta go see in the weather apps if today might be a scooter day.

Have a pleasant day.

This has been all about the weather the past several posts. Unintentionally for the most part, but it’s :What’s going on”..

TS Storm passed by and did a moderate amount of damage. I found a “bubble” where water got under the newly resurfaced porch and I could chip off a large section using only my fingernails. My friend lost roofing shingles and has some repairs due. Many trees came down and several light poles. In our backyard woods I could hear tree wood cracking and a large sounding tree fall beyond my sight. A big beach fell off a tree on our street and I chainsawed it away the next day. Also I spent several hours clearing away small limbs and debris from our yard.

We had one sunny day after cleanup day and I went to the beach. Big waves, muddy water.

Now, the next storm is lined up.

Looks a lot like ETA, the storm we just had. ETA is still out there, by the way. It has taken a wild ride.

since out one sunny day, it’s been cloudy and rainy.

I’m not the only one who will be glad to see this years hurricane season end!

Yesterday was a bank holiday here, so this is a Monday-feeling Tuesday.

Have a good week!

Looks like Eta will get here at about 2AM Saturday morning, in other words, tonight/tomorrow. I guess the storm has picked up speed, because when I went to bed last night it was due to hit at 8AM Saturday.

And it will be quite windy.

We’re supposed to get 5-20 inches of rain. Guesses vary wildly.

Work told us to work from home today, so I’m not going in. Schools are closed and it seems fairly serious. It’s rare that a storm approaches from this direction.

Happy Friday! Have a good weekend!
