Have you ever struggled with a plastic storage case when the plastic hinged latches break off? There is hope…

The bad news: I still need to rake leaves.

The good news: my patio table canopy support framework seems to be working okay under the weight of the snow.

These will be posted for sale soon. Cataloging and moving this Comicbook inventory along will take a lot of my time in the coming months.

Hey Y’All!

I haven’t been posting much this year because work entered the Twilight Zone and has been taking most of my time 7 days a week.

I haven’t been posting much because I’m not sure where to post with all the changes in social media.

But I’m still here. And I’ll be on more episodes soon.

This was a fun way to start 2025. I love talking about one of the best space opera stories ever.

Before leading Stargate Command and having a starship named in his honor, General Hammond managed an All American Girls Professional Baseball team where he met President Whitmore then went on to help form the USA 1980 Miracle team where he met lifelong friend Col Jack O’Neill.

If you haven't checked it out already TheSpaceEngingeer YouTube channel compiled the Starship Flight 7 RUD footage, synched the timecodes and assembled a multiview collage of the event over 3 minutes 40 seconds.

It's definitely worth your time to checkout!

Despite installing a brand new battery this iPad Mini 4 is dead. RIP mini.

The space community has never seen a single 24 hour period like today.

Kudos to Blue Origin for 1st flight & reaching orbit! Find out what went wrong with the stage 1 landing.

Congrats to SpaceX for catching the world’s largest booster twice! Try not to bomb Turks and Caicos ever again please.

While the New Glenn scrub tonight is understandable for any launch system attempting its first flight, @blueoriginai.bsky.social communication of issues encountered was underwhelming considering the public impact through airspace and maritime closures.
January 13, 2025 at 8:18 AM
Both New Glenn and Starship are in their launch mounts tonight. The two biggest rockets on the planet. I'm not sure the world has ever seen anything like it.

With Starship flight 7 around the corner there’s a whole new Ship version 2 design to explore. Marcus House does a great job explaining the observed upgrades so far:

I realized today I forgot to share my home Holiday decorations upgrades this year.
January 8, 2025 at 9:52 PM
I used part of my holiday down-time to catch a few streaming series: Silo, What If..., Skeleton Crew, and Landman.

They were all a ton of fun and entertaining. If you haven't seen one give it a try and let me know what you think.

Reviewing my post history here shows a lot of reposts. I wow to publish more original posts in 2025 here. And I thank everyone for following me despite the limited content available to date!
January 8, 2025 at 6:35 PM
As of my latest information right now New Glenn is scheduled for a launch attempt on January 10th, 2025 and Starship Flight 7 is scheduled NET January 13th.

The next week or so is going to be so LIT!
