Back Home to Rain

Got off the ship today about 1400, picked up my luggage, and was headed out the gate at 1430.

As far as the cause of the launch failure, NASA_Spaceflight.com has an excellent discussion at this thread.

The actual discussion of the launch problem starts here.

And I don't mind the rain, as SoCal is a couple of inches below "normal" for this time of year, and we can really use it!

  2. Glad you're back in town, Jim.

    Hope the rain stays over there - we got a parade here in Wickenburg AZ tomorrow and don't need rain on it!

  6. Yeah, I have to whittle down my "Honey Do" list, including building a new wood front for the driveway gate we have.

    There's premade redwood "fence" panels available locally at the Home Depot and Lowe's that look exactly like what was used. They're bolted to a sturdy pipe frame that's properly installed, but I'll have to get three of them, cut them down a bit, treat them with Thompson's or something, and bolt them on the frame.

    The panels up there now are pretty sad looking, half rotted with the screws and nails pulling out, and I'll bet if somebody outside got our big dog pi$$ed off enough, she could charge right through them.

Lovely Fall Day.....<i><b>not!</i></b>

 Forty degrees and raining......and cloudy. Dog won't even go outside, and I can't blame her! Hope you're having a good week so ...
