What's new

What are you guys doing right NOW??? ;)

Going through my space exploration archives.
All this mission to Mars coverage reminded me of the stack of books, news paper and magazine articles I have, dating back to Project Mercury.

I was 13 years old the night Armstrong and Aldrjn
walked on the lunar surface. I recorded the entire excursion on magnetic audio tape using a Sony 7" reel-to-reel recorder.

Unfortunately the tapes were not properly stored and are too brittle to thread on a machine and play. But I keep them anyway, knowing what's on them.

I was 8, and I remember it like it was yesterday. Great days, indeed and a fine time to be growing up.

My parents let me stay up all night to watch the moon landing. I still remember watching that grainy low resolution image of Neil Armstrong climbing down the ladder and setting foot on the lunar surface for the first time.

Time to go bird watching with a bird club at a city park.

Hi Czevski, do you and your club participate in bird migration counts? A cousin in Beaver Lodge, Ata is a long standing "birder" and participates in migration counts.

BTW it's just curiosity.

Yes! I'm not good at identification, but most of the members are long time birders and participate in every bird count. Even the Christmas count when it's cold and snowy.

Doing laundry for my sister's family. They evacuated their area for a possible 20 ft flood.

Quake,
We're thinking about you on the other side of the planet.

The world will be right again quake.. Hang in there.

As for an atmosphere jump to evacuate your fellow citizens, we've only done it once and came perilously close to breaking the ole girl's back.

See for yourself.
