    @Ozzie_Isaac - I was home instead of at work that day. The previous day was bitterly cold with a strong breeze off the ocean and I got sick. Heard the launch and explosion from my house. 
    Here is a photo of some of the memorabilia we were given. The cloth patch on the booklet was the last one we received. The booklet contains photos and names of the people in each group at KSC. Some of us were reporting to two departments as the program was winding down, so wound up in two photos in the booklet.

    My group was Launch Processing Systems so we not only installed and upgraded the Firing Room systems but our equipment was also in Room 4R10 (the USAF set),  in the crawlers, under the launch pads, on the launch towers, and in the Orbiter Functional Simulator on the Air Force side, where I met Ellison Onizuka and Ron McNair when they needed to train on the simulator. 40 years of memories.
    Wow!!  What amazing experiences, thank you for helping us reach the stars.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    Thought of @Ozzie_Isaac when I stumbled upon these in my parts collection tonight, trouble is I forgot about them when I needed one earlier in the summer  :)
    Paid peanuts for all three sets from a clearance warehouse!

    That is where they all have gone!

    i wonder what really happened to these parts or have the cheap as seen on tv hoses just taken over.  i wasted a few hours looking for connectors last spring and ended up splicing an old hose on to what i had. sometimes its good not to throw some things away.....

    @Botch - Was that in 1989 after Morton Thiokol became two separate companies?

    '97-'99, right before they became ATK (and according to Wikipedia they are now part of Northrop-Grumman, who also built a huge complex on Hill AFB to develop Minuteman IV, which then became GBSD (Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent), which then became Sentinel).

    With all that fresh caught fish I would be surprised if Q gained much traction there.  
    Try to catch the owner for his market insights.

    3hr delay.  Cider & salad for next few hours.  Not much of a lounge, but it will do.

    I have family members who would greatly appreciate that spread… Cider for wifey (dry is best) and pesto pasta for the kids.

    @Ikapigian - Take a look at Windy.com (https://www.windy.com/?2023102700,22.786,-97.064,6). The second one forming on Sunday 22nd may be more of a problem for you. Get prepared now.
