Dragon docking with the International Space Station

Watching the Dragon capsule slowly approaching the International Space Station. The space station was launched in 1998. The technology on it is 21 years old, but the C2V2 system was updated in 2016, designed for arrivals like the one happening today. The level of detailed and long-term planning required to make all this happen is just amazing.

An amazing milestone with Falcon 9 successfully launching two astronauts on the way to the International Space Station! πŸš€πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έβ€οΈ

Every time the NASA and SpaceX commentators refer to Bob and Doug, the astronauts flying today, I can’t help but think of the other Bob and Doug.

There are a lot of complicated things that I understand very well, however the impact holidays have on garbage collection schedules is not one of them. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I wanted to keep my #FitByFifty objective very front and center for me throughout the day. I created a simple graphic and ordered some custom stickers from Sticker Mule. Love it! πŸ’ͺ

I am excited to try out Omni Automation inside of OmniFocus! I’ve automated OmniFocus for years with Shortcuts and x-callback-urls for. But being able to execute JavaScript inside of OmniFocus could be super powerful!

Tammy unlocked a perfect pandemic evening for us last night. First, get a bottle of a beverage of choice. We had a bottle of Moscato d’Asti. Second, place a to go order at Station Pizzeria. Get your pizza at the scheduled time, and park in Burwell Park about a block away. Enjoy said beverage with your pizza along the shore of Minnehaha Creek, the sound of rushing water in the background. Afterward, walk back where you were and get dessert at the Dairy Queen and have a casual stroll back to the park with your ice cream.

5 stars! Would do again!

Bummer that the SpaceX / NASA launch is scrubbed for today. Next time! The control panel of the capsule is amazing looking.
