Off topic discussion - no food, booze, politics, or religion

Yes, Craig, lots of water everywhere. All ditches, rivers, and creeks are full around here too. Rain for 5 days.

Regardless of our differences about our hobby, Happy Easter everyone. Edited: forgot this is a no religion thread.

Must be a phone thing.:man_shrugging:t2:

On my phone, I just get a big picture of the capsule and wings with the elapsed time, velocity, distance from earth, and distance to moon gauges. The space craft is really going slow at this point, only 1591 mph!! That will probably pick up significantly when the sling shot effect starts to occur.

Maybe just my cell service​:man_shrugging:t2:

The toilet is backing up and causing it?

I don’t think so, I did just replace my water heater​:thinking:

Do you see a Mission view icon on the lower left? Click on it and you can get various views of the path they are on and their location. You can drag things around on the screen and zoom in and out with the slider. It comes up in camera view and you can click and drag on the screen and change the orientation of the capsule and see things in the night sky like the earth and the sun. I haven’t managed to find the moon but I’m sure it’s there.

By the time the get to the swing by loop the moon will be in the loop.

Yes, and I tried that. But I can only get little circles and an empty black background. No background stars or orbital path graphics like your screenshots. Probably a phone thing:

There is a NASA app. NASA App

Sunday was the last day for the year, and it was a hot sunny day. This was up-top.

A friend was asking about some of my speakers and I mentioned the SDC comps. I looked for my previous win in 2023 and found this pic. WTF? They posted a pic of the back of Brads entry? :man_facepalming:t2: Really PE?

Yeah that’s pretty weird.

At long last, our executive team decided it would be a good idea to have a CMMS system (computerized maintenance management system). This is good news - will give me something to do. I have been reserving bandwidth during my day in anticipation of this, so have been increasingly bored here as a result.

For those that care, the software is called Limble. Used it at my last job, pretty slick. Print QR codes that will pull up work request screens on any smart device or computer. You can have a generic QR code for an empty work request, or create them for specific pieces of equipment. Powerful asset and parts management modules, too.

Anyways, guys like me geek out over this stuff.

I just pulled this album out of my stack. A Goodwill buy decades ago for all of $1.38.

I had always assumed the signature was part of the artwork. Turns out, it wasn’t! This is in ball-point pen.

Possible chance it’s real?

Hard to say. The S doesn’t look right to me, but why would someone fake it?

Plausible, but not a given. Either way you’ve got more than a buck thirty eight there.
