We have 32 cats who won’t let us forget it. LOL It’s a madhouse in here.
Still cloudy here. I could see it as a fuzzy ball over Finland earlier and the same at Anchorage. Had to settle for a little nice aurora action over Manitoba.
Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
Did you and Gizmo have a great time at the lake yesterday?
Today is most likely going to be the nicest day we will have for awhile so we plan on making the most of it at Chisolm Trail Park later today.
It looks like Gizmo wore himself out with all the fun he had. LOL
Enjoy the nice weather while you can!
They were showing the moon earlier today in Anchorage...or at least I assumed it was the moon. Odd time of day for it, but what do I know. I’ve seen the sun look similar when there was smoke in the air.
To be honest, I haven’t even gone out to see the moon tonight. I don’t notice any change in my cats. I guess I’m not attuned. LOL!
Yes, this afternoon, our time, the moon was setting up there. I saw it too. The cam op kept hoping a plane would fly in front of it but none were ever quite in the right place. He did catch a bird fly in front of it.
But at moonrise tonight, there were too many clouds. It was the same at Finland. The sky’s crystal clear at Manitoba but it’s so cold there, they won’t pan the cam around. At least it caught some aurora action.
I haven’t stepped out to look at the moon because it’s cold and I don’t feel like going to the trouble of bundling up. The sky is clear at least. But this month’s orbit is way to the north and the moon’s overhead. Can’t see it through the windows.
Some of our cats don’t seem to feel the moon but too many do. The new moon is worse than the full. Wind’s ‘em up like two-dollar watches. >^..^<
Spent a year working on submissions for the new Statcom Mission Control. The stories I could tell — but won’t.

Not military here, but in a previous life, I was involved in a number of sort of “touch and go” adventures at some of the Road Trip installations showing up on the FReeper Canteen. Offett was one of those. My job there was later and I was not involved with a study assigned to the new Phd we hired after a few years of undergraduate employment with us. His first assignment as a permanent was to solve a mystery. He was to determine why the Airborne Command Stations would be occasional (seemingly random) victim of fire suppression dousing while hangered. Turned out to be an electromagnetic compatibility problem. It was against the rules for the maintenance people to turn on the plane’s high power transmitter(s) while in a hanger. But you know how rules are. In addition to responding to fire related phenomena (hopefully), the fire control electronics had an operation mode which caused it to respond in a similar manner to a large radio frequency signal.
I have not seen the museum and am probably too old and weak to make that expedition.
Thank you, FRiends...love your harmony.
