Great, I live in Jax and I love to go down near NAS and watch the night launch. Many months ago we even went down to Cocoa Beach for a night launch and the dang mission was scrubbed for that night.

Camera battery has a clean charge and am ready to try and take pics from the frontyard. Alarm set for 1:30am, should be enough time to check the TV and watch it launch and then outside to watch from home.

Send me the code for inserting pics. I have lost the info somewhere. I wanted to post pics earlier today about a Mud Snake (not native to my area) and couldn’t remember how. Yes, I am a blonde, an Artic Blonde.
