First time I’ve done anything like this, so the wiring is an absolute rats nest, but it works. Bluetooth, motion sensor and sound. I also made some amateur Aztek stencils. They work surprisingly well in low light. I’m still struggling with markings, but I will get that figured out.

We have the warp nacelles breathing slightly when fully lit and a good fade up and down. Impulse has a flicker. The strobes are a variation on the Airbus double blink with an offset between saucer and secondary hull. It kind of follows the startup sequence from the films.

Go see Life of Chuck. Really. It’s a great story and the movie is very well done.

Here primed to see @markhamillofficial.bsky.social Tom Hiddleston, Karen Gillian, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mia Sara and a loaded cast for Life of Chuck. I think this is going to be great! @stephenking.bsky.social

We saw the Killers right as Hot Fuss came out I think it was at the Masquerade here in Atlanta. I remember it being an outdoor show.

What musical act did you get to see in an intimate setting? Because it was before they got big or after they had their huge moment?

Older guy stuff, I was climbing into the back of our truck this morning and I heard a pop in my foot. Solid level of pain. Went and got x-rays and they say nothing is broken. Just a good pull of a ligament. I’m off this week and had so many great plans. Will see how many I can do.

Ended up at our towns St Patrick’s Day car show. Nice day for it. I also got my vaccines! Flu, COVID and tetanus. Cool that they had a group here doing that here.

What’s your joy for this weekend? I took next week off. I think I may go for a drive and work on my Mustang this weekend. I intend to sleep in. We have a day at Epcot on Wednesday for beverages around the world.

F1 season starts next weekend. I know there are a lot of new fans out there. Welcome! Why not dive into some history? The 1986 Australian GP is on the F1 app in the archive. It’s a great looking copy. Williams, Ferrari, McLaren. Senna, Prost, Rosberg, Piquet. Murray and James.

Our little Atlanta based airline turns 100 today! What an amazing journey. I’ve been part of the company for about 1/4 of that time and the things I’ve been fortunate enough to do and the things we’ve weathered are just incredible. #delta #keepclimbing

For the space fans out there this is a great podcast. Mr White did a great job talking the practical aspects of working on the shuttles thermal protection system. Normal people doing extraordinary work. #16sunsets.

Met Terry White in 2011, at the OPF on the last day of the last space shuttle mission. A joy to catch up with him again for this episode of #16Sunsets, to ask him about the difficult road to the launch of the first mission, Columbia, on STS-1. Have a listen podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

With the help of my dad I found the location of the track! 13 miles east of Bismarck off of Apple Creek Rd.

I’ve loved aviation and motorsports since I was a little kid. As I got older I found out my grandfather owned a racetrack in North Dakota and had a small plane. He passed when I was little, so I never had an opportunity to talk with him about those interests. In the third pic you can see a B-36.

For me, I got out and did some car stuff this morning. It was good to get the Mini out of the garage!

What joy do you have planned this weekend? We are having one of my daughter’s best friends and their family, including grandma visiting from Australia, over for pizza Saturday.
