Rockets Continued

Looks like the rocket people are going to be back in MT next week, and told me that they would welcome my help while they're there.  So, pending on the weather, I will probably be going up this weekend.  I needed to go up to get more of my stuff anyway, so this could work out real nicely.  Or I could crash the new truck somewhere (I'd put my money on Idaho Falls, since that seems to be where all of the accidents happen) like I did the Jeep.  I have discovered a new found hate for winter driving.

Finally, I'll stop yacking about this

I ordered a couple "Peace Through Superior Firepower" bumper stickers. About five bucks, including shipping. Not bad at all, and I'll be able to move on from this subject and you won't have to listen to me anymore. It's a win-win-win!

But where should I put them?  On the bumper?  That's pretty low, and hard to see.  On a rear window?  But what if I get a topper?  The tailgate?  It's kinda beat up, and if I could replace one part of the truck,  that would be it...

Uh oh.  There I go again...

Good Country Music

You may or may not know that I really don't like country music.  Sure, I'll find the occasional song that I like, and I get a good dose from Borepatch, but really, It's not my cuppa tea.  This song, however, based off of "Jesus Take The Wheel," is just amazing:



Come on, admit it. You liked it too, didn't you? Check out some of Tim Hawkins' other videos, while you're at it.

Blue Velvet

Yes, that is Lawrence Welk remixed. Yes, I do own the album. And yes, I do listen to it.

Books of 2011: Warp Speed

I found "Warp Speed." by Travis Taylor, on my Kindle the other day (I can't remember all the stuff I've put on it, give me a break!) and zipped right through it.  A good, entertaining Hard-ish Sci Fi book, in which the characters invent warp fields and the events that follow, including war with China and making a Moon base.  You can tell that it is Doc Travis' first book, as it is a little rough, but I still found it enjoyable.

I rate it at 7.5/10.  And I'm going to go read the next one!

Cold Dog

It was -6 out this morning. I kinda expect this weather when I'm in MT, but in CO it only seems to have been getting this cold for the past couple years. Needless to say, the dogs were not happy. This little guy went under his "fuzzy blankie," and he's not coming back out.
