Thanks `Keane,
I was going to post that one (I like new order), but I posted the one from Fats, because it was a old song that Grandpa `Space would play & sing when we were out @ sea working his boat. He has a good voice & sang a lot of older tunes. (I really miss those days)

Which one of your many vehicles will you spring clean (?).. You are going to have to hire a clean `up kid to help you with your mass collection of super rides I hope someday to have a few vehicles to worry about & enjoy.

Wish you sunshine & a productive > Happy Day <

I just got a request to take one of the companies major vendor's to watch the `Space X launch later this afternoon (`If the weather is clear ?)

Below is a link to watch the live launch `if it goes 2day ?
Live coverage: SpaceX poised for space station resupply run | Spaceflight Now



2150 GMT (5:50 p.m. EDT)
The official weather forecast continues to show a 60 percent chance of favorable weather for Monday's launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral.
The primary concern is with thick clouds and anvil clouds over Florida's Space Coast at the Falcon 9 rocket's launch time of 4:33 p.m. EDT (2033 GMT).
Forecasters say a summer-like weather pattern over Central Florida will generate sea breeze boundaries and thunderstorms Monday, primarily focused over inland areas. But there is a chance some of the activity could encroach near the Falcon 9's launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
The outlook issued Sunday calls for isolated rain showers, scattered clouds at 3,000 feet, broken clouds at 14,000 feet and an overcast cloud deck at 28,000 feet. Winds will be from the southeast at 12 to 17 mph, and the temperature is expected to be near 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
The mission will delivery nearly 4,400 pounds of supplies to the International Space Station, and SpaceX will use the launch to experiment with the recovery of the Falcon 9's booster stage on a platform 200 miles northeast of Cape Canaveral in the Atlantic Ocean.
Conditions at the landing site are expected to be favorable, but there is a chance of rain showers with 70 percent cloud coverage predicted. Waves will be between 4 and 6 feet in height, and surface winds will be out of the south at 15 knots.

Goodmorning all!

Went to a car show yesterday, back to work today.. I did get to test and see that my carb adapter for the rambler is the correct one, so the spacer is on the way and I should be ready to bolt that on by the weekend if all goes as planned!

Good morning everyone! I'm did okay on the Microeconomics test I was stressed about on Friday. School is going well, and I'm having tons of fun lol. Mom told me not to make up for being away from Villanova for a year and a half, but I think I ignored her.

In Monte news, I had to leave my car overnight at a local store parking lot because the Passlock issue just wouldn't let the car start. When I went back the next day it started fine! So we're finally replacing the entire ignition cylinder at the local Chevy dealer this week. I got away without fixing the issue for more than a year. Not going to risk it again.

Wanna take a $25 gamble and see if tuning out the issue can solve it? I've read a few places that you can bypass it with a tune, but my car never gave me the issue so I couldn't test it in the real world. I've always been curious if it was indeed possible though
