So I had the goal of pulling this w-space adventure off over the Summer, but alas Summer has consumed most of my time, and little has gone on in space. Niskin is relaxing in his mission hub. Having run all of one mission, and having let one expire. He hopes to do better in the Fall, which is only a few weeks away...
It's not so much that I love Summer, in fact I get cranky when the temp gets over 75 degrees F and the sun is out. But I'm married with children, so I don't always get to determine the plan. It's not all family stuff though. I've been out to the gun range a lot, which is a recent development. I shot rifles and shotguns as a kid, but only a pistol once, 20 years ago. So upon purchasing my wife a gun and taking her to shoot it, I got a little hooked. My current job has morphed in such a way that I get to do both IT functions and help with gun/ammo sales, safety instruction, and various other gun related things. It's turning out to be pretty cool, but the new hobby is taking up a lot of my personal time, and money.
The kids are gone this weekend and the wife has to work on Sunday, so there could be some missions worked in there somewhere. It's gonna be a few weeks before I venture out into w-space. Summer is still in full swing, and I might go kayaking next week!
Scanning...
There's nothing shiny in the solar system map. The solemn darkness eats away at your soul.
