    Comet Neowise

    Anybody paying any attention to the comet? It won't be back for 6,800 years. I certainly won't be around then! :p My family and I finally got a look at it tonight. Skies were finally clear of clouds. It was very faint because of the hazy atmosphere here. But we finally made it out with...

    Contagion (2011 movie)

    My wife and I watched this movie a few days ago. It's really eerie how close it is to what's going on in the world with Covid-19 now. :cool:

    Insight spacecraft just landed on Mars

    I watched it live on the NASA channel. I was holding my breath just like the folks in the control room. Completely nerded out. Brings back big time memories for me. :nod: :D The first image from the lander on the ground has already been received...

    B.A.S.S. vs MLF

    I haven't been paying much attention to the bassin' world other than struggling to regain my old skills when I get a chance.:cool: I've been a Bassmaster for some 35 years and was surprised to learn of the major changes happening there when I read my November issue of B.A.S.S. Times. Turns out...

    Hurricane Michael

    Doesn't look like it'll hit in my area. Might get some rain. Florida panhandle likely to have landfall in the next couple days. Let's stay safe out there!

    A little rod repair action

    Went out to the garage this afternoon planning on sharpening hooks and doing some general tackle preparation for a fishing trip this evening. And found a problem. I've had this 6' 6" MH Shakespeare Ugly Stik for well over 30 years. Caught a bazillion fish with it over the years. And missed...

    Beware vehicles with wraps!

    My wife saw something interesting on her way home from work yesterday. There was an SUV in the left lane ahead of her. She saw lots of "advertising" on the wrap for Florida with pix of sunny beaches, palm trees and so forth. Just like any other car or truck advertising AC Repair or Real...

    GOES-S launch

    The weather looks good for the big Atlas-5 launch vehicle to lift the GOES-S into orbit at 1702 EST. We're watching live coverage on NASA-TV and if all goes well, we'll be able to see the rocket heading skyward from the vantage point at the end of my driveway after it lifts off. We have partly...

    Woohoo! I finally got a workbench!

    Picked this up from craigslist this morning. Measures 72x27x34. Yes, the vise was included. It's a moderate duty unit but should be plenty good enough for my needs. No welding and no pounding on the table. :cool: Am thinking that I'll cover the top with some sheet steel. But first I'd add...

    ETRO for issues?

    Is there an Estimated Time for Return to Operations for the issues we've been having? I really miss being able to multi-quote when replying to posts. And didn't we used to have the ability to search individual forums as well as individual threads? Or did I mix something up somewhere? Maybe...

    Another cool old aluminum boat (big!)

    I'm keeping an eye out for an aluminum flats boat for my neighbor and ran across this beast for sale. 25 footer! Pretty cool. Not suitable for his needs but interesting nonetheless. I have no idea what the original purpose of this tri-hull aluminum I/O boat was, but if I had a need, I'd be...

    Where are the Goldfinches?

    They usually show up here about mid-October and hang around until March. Haven't seen a one this season. Wassup with that? :noidea:
