It’s been a while since I posted here.
- A month ago Melissa’s parents came down to visit, and on one of the days we went to the USS Midway Museum. Usually I post photos right away, but I forgot this time. Here is a link to the full gallery, and below are some highlights.




- Today on an errand I saw this egregious example of bad brodozer behavior. I saw the able-bodied owner and his able-bodied elementary school-aged son get out. I didn’t bother to check if there was a placard in the windshield because I didn’t have my climbing gear nor my binoculars.
- I’ve watched more college basketball games in the last four days than I have since, well, last March. I miss watching the games in person at Haas, and I am disappointed by the mens flame-out in the first round of the tournament on Thursday. The women have already done better. C’est la vie of a Bear fan. For those of you who care, here is current my bracket which I put together in about 5 minutes, and it shows.
“Ron, Mary and Melissa in the Kitchen”. Correction: “Ron, Mary and Melissa in the Galley”. No kitchens on boats.
I’ve never seen so many radio knobs all in one place!
What did they do with large quantities of liquid N2?
You would love to visit the boat, Mike, they let you touch everything unlike most museums.
I don’t remember what they did with the liquid N2.
