I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
We have two sunflower plants blooming in our backyard and this little ladybug, and her friends, are taking care of the aphids for us.

There's something else to look for while you're waiting for your training session. When you're in the corridor alongside Mission Control, watch the small monitors on the workstation behind the glass. You may spot footage of an albatross coming in for a rough landing. It's a clip once used for comic effect during the pre-show of the Mission to Mars attraction in the Magic Kingdom (1975-1993).
As you advance along the switchback queue, ostensibly to receive training for the ultimate space mission, enter the "Sim Lab", a large warehouse-like training area similar to one that might be found at Kennedy Space Center. Pass by a huge rotating wheel with chambers that is supposedly used for simulating gravity for trainees. Along the queue are a number of interesting visuals, including a genuine Lunar Rover on loan from the Smithsonian. From there, pass into the Command Room, where Cast Members sit behind a glass wall and multiple control panels. On the wall are plaques commemorating outstanding "firsts" in space travel -- First Man in Space, First Man on the Moon, etc., up to the fictitious "First Family in Space" and "First Deep Space Mission." At the end of this queue, you are standing in front of four color-coded Ready Rooms, into which you will be dispatched in teams of four. You are given the roles to assume during the training mission -- commander, pilot, navigator or engineer. As you wait for your assignment, peruse the astronaut uniforms on the walls, and watch a video from CapCom.

Soldiers with Troop O (Outlaw), 4th Squadron, Combined Task Force Dragoon, set up a traffic control point with members of the Afghan Uniformed Police Dec. 30, 2013, at Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. The Soldiers conducted a series of partnership missions with the AUP near a number of security checkpoints throughout the province. (U.S. Army Photo by Sgt. Joshua Edwards)
The ship's main battery consisted of nine sixteen-inch (406 mm) naval guns (16"/45 Cal) with a maximum range of 21 miles (34 km). Hitting a target at that distance required calculations including type of ammunition, own ship speed and course, target speed and course, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure and rotation of the earth. With no electronic computers, a mechanical computer such as this one in each of the main turrets did the job.
At Battleship Memorial Park, near Mobile, Alabama, I visited the Battleship Alabama (BB 60), a South Dakota-class battleship, now a museum ship. This battleship was launched and commissioned in 1942 and served in World War II in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. She has been at this location as a museum ship since 1964. The park includes many other historical exhibits.

BCG's the military calls them birth controls because there so big & thick you'll never get laid if you're wearing them lol
The water heater was 120 Volt only. Originally I had a solar panel to heat the water during the day. It was too complicated of a system with too many pipes and leaks to keep it going.
Now I added an additional 12 Volt 150 Watt element I can run during the day when the batteries are charging from the engine and solar.
This setup needed a whole control box ith relays to use the existing thermostats for both 120 and 12 Volt elements.
On the second to last day of my vacation, November 2, I went to the Morton Arboretum and found they were having a "Controlled Burn". Of course I had to park and take some pictures of this—something you don't see everyday at the Arb. I was thinking of naming them "Cheech and Chong Visit The Arboretum" but decided on the more conservative naming convention.
