Everyday Shenanigans With Colorful Commentary

From Showers To Shine... From SuitSat To SuitSickle...





And it was so weird 'cuz I totally slept thru the morning... knowing it wuz gonna be crappy out... and still when I woke up noonish it was still miserable out... but when I finally went outside and the more I drove... the lighter it became and the clouds burned off and it grew warmer... it like went from U.K. to Cancun in like 45 minutes... funky...

And in funkier newz... they are sending out a ham radio satellite made out of... get this... a retired space suit... it is funny, funky and educationable... more from the website...

'Using a simple police scanner or ham radio, you can listen to a disembodied spacesuit circling Earth...
One of the strangest satellites in the history of the space age is about to go into orbit.
Launch date: February 3rd.
That's when astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) will hurl an empty spacesuit overboard...'


... read the rest here...

The spacesuit is the satellite -- "SuitSat" for short...

And you can track it here but sadly... as I slowly blogged... the SuitSat tragically froze...



... bye bye SuitSat... we hardly knew thee...


In a word... suitsickle...
