KidSpace: good to see you can still access internet for a few more days. It's always pleasant reading your kind words in the morning.
Ryan: We'll be BBQing tonight for sure. Heading down to my brother's house in Dayton for a Memorial Day get together. Hamburgers and hotdogs and chicken and steak. Everything quintessentially American.
J.J. I slept in today, otherwise I would have made breakfast as well, coffee was waiting for me when I awoke. T is looking forward to grilling out tonight for sure, as am I.
Hope everyone has a great and fantastic Memorial Day weekend.

Tomorrow, the first landing opportunity at Kennedy Space Center is at 9:16 a.m. Edwards Air Force Base in California will be activated for consideration as well.]]> Fri, 22 May 2009 12:00:02 GMT
Mission control explained that weather around Kennedy Space Center is very dynamic with thunderstorms extending from the southeast near Bermuda to the northwest, going through the 30 nautical mile circle surrounding the Shuttle Landing Facility. There are some clear areas to the south which might, over time, move north, or may stay in place. Additionally, cloud ceilings and crosswinds continue to be an issue and are under assessment.]]> Fri, 22 May 2009 09:15:52 GMT Fri, 22 May 2009 08:41:04 GMT- Saturday Landing Opportunities Waved Off
Sat, 23 May 2009 08:44:48 AM EDT
STS-125 Entry Flight Director Norm Knight has waved off today's landing opportunities. Capcom Greg Johnson explained to the crew the weather did not permit a Kennedy landing today. Johnson said, "There's a chance for a landing at Kennedy tomorrow, and we're going to keep that option open. Edwards remains good for tomorrow and Monday, if needed."
Tomorrow, the first landing opportunity at Kennedy Space Center is at 10:11 a.m. EDT.

Hey everyone, how's it going this weekend? I spent the day at the Lane Automotive show with my wife LadyT and RJ and his G/F. GREAT day! It hit mid 80's, and just a perfect day. Last year they had about 1,200 cars. This year the place was jammed full, with some cars parking on the opposite side of the drive from the show. Someone said 2,000 cars, but I'm guessing 1,500. Largest turnout ever.
I took 358 pics, just a fraction of the cars. I'll post a few here, but head over to the shows thread in the next few days for a more complete thread. I THINK I got pics of all the Monte's there, but it's hard to know for sure. I know I missed at LEAST 1, but probably more.
Here are some teasers pics, starting with the top pull of the weekend, 810 whp nova:
Our cars:
The silver '06 Vette parked next to Lucy was a Ligenfelter prepped blown LS.
How about a new Camaro SS from the Illinois Camaro club:
A row of 4 fourth gens in front of the "noise fest":

This is not a trophy show, just door prizes. One was season passes to Hartford Speedway, Michigan's fastest dirt 1/2 mile track, just up the road. Not sure what the others were. This is a free show, and everyone got a nice dash plaque, a Lane Automotive T-shirt, a free hat, stickers, pens, more stickers, and some stickers. Of course ALL the vendors had stickers, too. All the main vendors were there with their semis: Edelbrock, Comp Cams, Magnaflow, and many others. One of my favorite vendors is Classic Instruments. He ALWAYS has a fabulous display of his gorgeous gauges. He IS the best.
