May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


Glad to hear you had fun at the dog show Sister.

Daughter is home for the holiday and already I have lost my upstairs bathroom and my wife is waiting on her hand and foot. *sigh* While I missed her I certainly didn't miss her inability to clean up behind herself or her penchant for not doing anything to pitch in around the house.

Now I know what the Christmas song meant when it says "And mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again". LOL

Agreed.

Calling for high 60s, possibly low 70s this weekend. If that's the case the bike is coming back out!

Reckon I might be getting it in. They're now calling for it to be 70+ both Saturday and Sunday, though we won't be getting much in the way of sunshine.

Hump Day 'coats! Half way there!

Wow. Not much call for rain here, though I've heard that we might see some wind this weekend. Gusts up to 30mph or some such. Might make it difficult to ride if that's the case.

Still, going to make the most of the near Spring like weather. Get some yard work done at the least.

Sounds like you had a soggy, cool weekend. Pretty much the same here. Did not get the promised sun or warmth. Did get up to the high 50s yesterday, but not the promised 70. Did get the bike out a bit yesterday, then it rained and had to put her back. *sigh*

Big Suck.

No sleeping in here unfortunately.

Big Suck, but not as bad as most. At least the sun is out for a change and no rain so I count it as a win.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

'FireFly' ships could be asteroid mining by 2015
January 23, 2013, 10:22 am By Nic Healey cnet.com.au

Deep Space Industries has said that it will have prospecting ships mining asteroids near Earth in the very near future.

Deep Space Industries is daring to dream big.
Asteroid mining could be 2013's hot new industry with yet another company making some serious claims about its plans for tapping resources in space.

According to The Verge , Deep Space Industries is claiming that it will have unmanned spacecraft - known as the FireFly, of course - in space looking for viable mining asteroids by 2015, with the heavier DragonFly craft bringing back samples soon after.

Deep Space Industries - known as DSi, so we assume a Nintendo lawsuit is on the cards - is also claiming a patent pending "Microgravity Foundry" - a 3D printing system that uses nickel-charged gas to print metal components in a zero gravity environment.

It's worth noting that, unlike the similar company Planetary Resources, Deep Space Industries doesn't have any high-profile backers such as Larry Page or James Cameron. In fact, DSi will probably require sponsorship and public funding for its missions.

Still, we live in a time where multiple initiatives for space mining on asteroids are underway. For our money, that's much better than a flying car.
