Uh-oh...
I can’t lift bowling balls. Even with two hands.
Not to worry.
The incoming space rock got vaped by the missing bowling ball.
I’m still waiting to hear what happened to teh space spambots.
Theory goes NNB dumped a wheelbarrow of dwarven processed granola waste into the teleFRAG at the space spambots.
Voila, no mess, no spambots.
Well *she says shyly* that’s a relief!
Life is good! (Especially when things can be explained!)
You know what? I hadn't -- and it's so obvious!
I mean, if I keep a bag packed all the time with dirty clothes in it, just thre way it arrives home, pretty soon I won't have to travel at all.
LOL!
That wasn’t my thought, but I suspect it wouldn’t work, anyway!
I’m assembling things that I can pack ahead of time that I won’t need, on the off chance that I get a whim and decide to take off somewhere. If it’s always ready, then so am I, and I’ve lessened the stress of trying to make sure I “have everything.”
Oh, well. We can play air hockey.
(By the way, I like this ... "... tension mounted, spiderbots froze in place, maglocked to the surface of the ship, forelegs waving outward as they sensed what their brains told them was inevitable." -- The maglocks, along with the articulating segments of what I call "pedipalps" because they are capable of palpating objects with their pedal extremities, give the spiderbots, both large and small, remarkable maneuvering capabilities.)
... however, I would also remind you that we are preparing to embark on an experimental technique of asteroid harvesting. This will involve using specially equipped spiderbots, capable of maneuvering in space with photonic thrusters, which will go out to latch onto small objects and direct them into useful paths.
Over a long period of time, remarkable things can be done with small nudges here and there.
Ick, snow.
Which I endorse. I also like low-gravity basketball.
For most of us, however, even badminton in Mars gravity is a lot like shuffleboard or curling.
But bowling, because of the coriolis forces, is pretty much a lost cause out here.
I'm trying to develop more bikini beach volleyball anyway.
Still in the upper 40’s here. Doesn’t look like we’ll have snow (or rain worth mentioning, either.)
Sand in the Personal Areas is a problem with that, especially with our water conservation practices. Sand in the drains, too.
The problem is the wide variety of packing I have to do.
1. If it's a conference or meeting, 2-3 days, no suit, I can pack my small Skyroll. (Tried the suit in the Skyroll for a recent EU meeting -- nope, it's too hard on it.)
2. If it's my spring/fall week-chock-full-o-meetings, dockers & shirts, I take the larger rollaboard.
3. If it's winter/summer w-c-f-o-m with a suit for the President's Reception, it's the suiter plus the smaller rollaboard.
4. If it's annual ISO meeting overseas (like Cairo was) it's the suiter -- unless LoM comes, when it's the suiter and larger rollaboard. And if we take an extended vacation, add the smaller rollaboard too.
5. If it's my quarterly European committee meeting, or a formal international conference, it's the suiter.
Part of the problem is that this suiter is the folding "garment bag" style which I pretty much have to check. I recently saw one I like, more of a hard rollaboard style with a special compartment for the suit, but it's close to $500.
I prefer sand to snow...
Hey, it’s fixed?
Wasn’t there a dust bunny living in it, messing games up?
Snow melts. Sand doesn’t.
I went by with the Dyson Supervac last month and fixed it up.
I just had too much snow for the first eighteen years of my life, I got sick of it.
Great.
Spiderbots colonizing the belt.
I’m seeing them discovering and pursuing their own ends as well as their primary goals.
He’s gotta be ticked.
I am unimpressed with Dust Bunnies. The Dyson is unimpressed, too. Air Hockey is a go!
