Pro tip: Do not try to tow a salvage shuttle bus through a tight spot on your property when you're tired and it's getting dark.
After getting it stuck under a branch (of a tree I don't like anyway) letting air out of the tires wasn't enough to get clearance. A chainsaw was.

Many of the people on my friends list know Karl Meyer (Crim).
I just received word that he had passed away.
I don't know much as yet save that it was apparently natural causes.
I wanted to make sure that his family knew before I made a public post about it. I'll post more info as I find out.

OK. I admit I'm sometimes slow on the uptake, but when I see clouds of steam coming from the front of the tractor I'm mowing with after a loud "bang" I get the message.
Especially when it's within 10 feet of the spot I misjudged a turn two years ago and took out the radiator of this same tractor.

So, the administration is pulling Jared Isaacman's appointment to be head of NASA in order to appoint someone more in line with Trump's America First policies.
Given the budget cuts to space science the admin wants, I suspect the main beneficiary of this move will be the Chinese space program.
