ApolloCon from the movie house

That's most of what I saw that is. 

Today is the day...

ApolloCon starts today.  I'm getting ready by working on printing out a few characters for the game I have scheduled on Saturday.  I hope to leave in a few hours.  It's completely across town, so I am staying at the hotel.  I am allowing the Space City Time Lords to use my room for a party room Friday and Saturday nights.  I just hope I can get some sleep sometime.  It's a con, I should just give up on the consept.

Busy week ahead

Fortunately most the ApolloCon movie stuff is done.  We've got the schedule done, most the staff set up and ready to go, and the flyers are all up on the website. 

About 10 minutes of raw flaming power

I snagged this from the ApolloPlus40 twitter feed. It's an awesome feed about the 40th anniversary of the moon landing. It's done in real time, that is, it's the testing and the prep before the launch as it happened 40 years ago. It's been fun to follow. Thinking of Apollo... namely ApolloCon, don't forget it's next weekend and we will be there running the movie room.  I'll also be involved with the Space City Time Lords and throwing a party in my room.  Don't know what night it will be yet, but it will be announced at the con, if not here first. I also am going to try and run a GURPS game on Saturday afternoon.  Probably around 12 noon or so.  It should be on the schedule at the con or up on the webpage soon.

Thermostat installed

And we're cooling down nicely. :)

Happy Juneteenth

I thought I'd mention that today. I noticed traffic was pretty light today for a Friday. It may only be because it's Friday, but still. I still think it would be great if we could get State Holidays off here. I often wish I could get a job at the State for that reason. lol! I'd have my birthday off guaranteed each year. In Galveston, they had a parade today. If you want to go to a great Juneteenth celebration, there is where to go. They go all out. I know that down at the Seaport Museum they have been talking about doing something for Juneteenth each year, but since the storm, I think they put those plans on the back burner. Maybe next year.

I've got the thermostat in

That means I'll have a normal refrigerator tonight. Yea! No more frozen gallons of milk.

In a nutshell ...

Mind the gap Oh and here's another good one. More here: Florida Stick Science Contest Today has been one of those quiet days. Nothing is going on. My supervisor is off today. I may do some writing to look like I'm doing something.

Alright, gave up on the AC experiment

It was fun while it lasted.  That configuration wasn't working out with the ac as it was.  It looked cool, it was good for getting in and out, but I got tired of getting home to a 90 deg boat.  Gawd that has gotten old.  It's now back in the companion way but this time, I've rigged up a proper shelf for it to sit.  None of that collection of bits of wood and board to wobble off anymore.  It's already 2 or 3 degrees cooler than it was just minutes ago.

What a busy life

Game went well yesterday from all that I can tell.  This world I've created is getting more and more interesting each session.  I'm having fun with it.  I need to write down all these notes and publish it all as a module one of these days. 

Refrigerator is working, sorta

Jeebus and I put in a potentiometer and bypassed the broken thermostat and it's running.  But that's only a temporary fix and not a good one.  So I have a jury-rigged refrigerator, but at least it works and is cooling down as we speak.

Bilge maintainance and girlscouts

I managed to get to the Elissa on Friday just after 6pm.  I was amazed I got there that soon.

Refrigerator cleaned

I don't know what was worse, the water in the bottom of my refrigerator, or the bilge water on the Elissa. 

A little more shade for the summer

The summer here is starting early it seems. 

Boat issues

I think the refrigerator needs a coolant recharge.

So, you want to learn Pakuni

You want to keep up with Chaka on Land of the lost and his strange little ape language? Here's your chance!

Chess plugin test game

I'm not to sure how this is going to work. Come on over and help me test it out.

Amtgard Wetlands Coronation 2009, et. al.

The Kingdom of the Wetlands has a new King. Kane now is king and from the looks of it, I think he will do very well.

Ahh the weekend... what to do

Well, I have lot of choices, all of which doesn't seem all that attractive currently. 

Test post

This is a test post to see if I can get post by email to work.

Aliens and dinosaurs! And Time travel too...

The best of both worlds when it comes to Sci-Fi.   Especially if you are a kid like I was back when Land of the Lost was on TV. 

The widget patchwork that is my blog

After looking though a half a million widgets, I am getting close to having this blog configured the way I want it.  Maybe, just maybe I can get to actually say something worth while.

Traveling unwired ...

I decided to try the laptop on the bus thing with the realization that my laptop is just too big for that sort of thing.  Too bad too.  I have a lot of things I could get done in that 35-45 minute trip to and from downtown Houston each day.

New twitter test

I am sure everyone is sick and tired of me messing around with twitter....  Smile, new users will be able to tweet their own twitter accounts on my page.  It will be cool, you will love it.  I know you will.  muhahahahah
