OT - What are you doing right now?

@SamIAm2 fill the rain barrel for weight? Stay safe.
edit: never mind, the pre hurricane rain would fill it in no time if it’s not filled already.

The full 35 gallon rain barrel will stay but the PVC pipe for draining the spa, the deck box, and the spa vacuum will be stored inside if needed.

Last windshear storm we had it ripped the downspout off the brick!  
Stay safe.

@alaskanassasin, @Botch - Appreciate your concerns. Hope that the latest forecast scenarios are correct and the winds here will be less than 50 mph.

I fired up the Bomber for a couple tenderloins. My neighbor lost his Mom a couple weeks back. My intent was to smoke something last Sunday for them but my body/head said otherwise. I didn't want to get them sick or handle food before kicking the cold. So today I had some extra time to fire up the smoker. Pics to come a little later when the tenderloins finish up.

Wondering if the Fist Bump officially replaced the High Five

I think it did.  

I think it did 5-10 years ago.

These days the cool kids do the trifecta: high five, fist bump, and chest bump:

I obviously have no idea what Cranston’s like on a personal level, but professionally, he is one great actor.

Very relieved to hear that. While perusing your post and before seeing that nod, I was thinking of your referenced incident. Looks like a job well done.

Watching out for wildlife, and SWMBO saw a tuna.

Just got an estimate for removing a small lump, split pea sized, from my Boxer’s right foreleg. $789 or so.

Paid that for a 1/8 hole to get get stitched in my dogs head this summer out of state. it's putting them under that's the killer.. he got some bigger rips from a rottie on laber day. No stitches but 4 visits and is half as much so far. Still in a cone on antibiotics maybe another week or so. Two visits were free, sort of a barter making things for the owners bee hives and boat. 15 minutes here and there

Hope you got it in time

Ordered some new Hoka shoes. This sole is seriously massive. Super comfortable

Watched DART score a direct hit on the asteroid, on the NASA channel.  Was expecting to see some kind of a plume from the camera drone following right behind, didn't see anything but the main spacecraft ceased transmitting at the right time.  
Damn impressive!

$350 for tumor removal is more in line. more if you want to send it off for labs.

Did Bruce make it off this time?

Now for the orbital "knock on effect". That is the most impressive head shot I have read about.  
And here's the bullet penetration-

Gearing up for the Peyton-Eli MNF broadcast on ESPN 2.  Great entertainment regardless of game action.

The Boston area has puppy insurance that's taken hold. I would believe that inflates costs. Middle of the country not so much. Basic shots run 300 bucks. My first dog thirty years ago I was able to do it myself for six bucks three times over six weeks. The rest of the money now is for the doc squeezing the crown jewels

They can’t say if it is cancerous or not so they are going to send it to the state veterinary school. An extra charge for a blood test.

Nice catch from a scope on Earth!!

Guess the pre-strike NASA animations had me a bit mislead.  
 
Ah well, I once farted right before a Thiokol Shuttle booster test, kinda the same thing.

The NASA/ESA LICIACube photos won't be available for a few days or weeks.

The link I posted was taken from a private ground based scope which I thought was pretty amazing.

I'm sure the LICIACube pix will be just a little bit sharper.

Need to redact the alien structures from the video.

This was taken by the joint NASA/Univ. of Hawaii asteroid tracking project. The moving "dot" that sends off the plume is actually the light from both Dimorphos and Didymos as they are too far away to see them as separate objects. Does give an idea as to what the LICIACube pix we'll see soon will likely have captured.

Cooking naked.  Guessing the temp.

Based only on the lower vent setting, I guessing a hot&fast cook.  Enjoy the ride.

While nowhere near the resolution of what we saw yesterday, this was much more "satisfying".  
So, was the "LICIACube" the small camera drone following the DART?  And why was the video from DART near real-time, and LICIA not?  (I need to renew my subscription to Aviation Week & Space Technology,  I have no idea what's going on anymore).
