If the US can kidnap a president, another country should feel free to do the same to us! 😀

#cats This is true.

#trumpsucks #magasucks Trump spotted at his desk just before a press conference.

Just another reminder why we are done here. Disgusting to murder such a beautiful animal. It's like this guy is a hero here. I'll never fit in as a "Wisconsin man". I tried, but I'm just a bit higher in the chain of evolution. www.wmtv15news.com/2026/01/01/m...

#starlink #astronomy #musksucks #lightpollution Sad when they brag about "light up the sky". I sold one of my 4 telescopes. I sometimes wonder if I should sell the rest and start a new hobby?

I guess the 5 million new pages of Epstein files are once again pushed aside.

Well that was kinda sucky. Let's hope 2026 is better.

#doorcounty #sturgeonbay #blizzard Ugh.....this sucks. After few years of this it's just not as fun anymore.

#apt #meteor #SDR #hamradio #amateurradio A nice view from this afternoon of the West coast from the Russian Meteor 2-4 satellite. Not sure why Bismark is in the ocean, probably wrap around - or the German battleship returned! 😆

Fancy Christmas sunset today. Freezing rain alert for later. We’ll see…

#goes19 #apt #meteor #sdr #amatuerradio Taken roughly the same time. - High view from about 22,000 miles GOES19 - Low view from 500ish miles from Russian Meteor Satellite

#maga #trumpsucks #impeach #25thamendment He's certainly not Santa Claus. He pretty much bashed everything.....again. Just didn't mention what he's doing with health insurance. Let's hope 2026 is the end of this "leadership".

The big Meade has been parted out and mostly sold. Years of good use, many images, and in 3 observatories. I still have 3 other scopes and no observatory.

#caturday A little early for Caturday, but when working on Ebay listings and the kitty hops up in the photo booth, the photo must be taken. Greta looking a little surprise, but that's pretty much how her face is all the time.

You know it's boring when a lot of people get excited when the Coast Guard has their airboat on the ice. Yay. (Not my photo, I don't get excited)

#dji #drones #FAA107 #rcairplanes I better fly my DJI Mavic drone carefully. These were very popular hobby/photo drones. Sadly, another victim of Trump. Already a lot of new rules on RC hobby and drones. This sucks. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

#60minutes #cecot #banned Here is the video Trump tried to hide from us. Watch and share it! archive.org/details/60mi...

#ai #metaai #meta I asked Meta for a forecast today. It came out with text. I then asked it to create a graphic. The stupid AI sure doesn't know how to spell.

#sdr #winter #apt #goes #hamradio #amateurradio 1st day of winter (already damn cold here), seen from GOES19.

#ebay #ebayseller I was hoping that things were picking up, but it appears that it was just Christmas rush. We sell a bunch of model train stuff.

#hamradio #amateurradio #SDR #meteorsat #apt Fired up my polar satellite receiver again. The US NOAA polar satellites are all shut down, but Russia's Meteor satellites still run. They put out really good images. This is from today.

That sums it up pretty well.

#seattle #seattleweather #pnw Wow. Looks like no breaks for weather these days in Washington.

#astrophotography #lightpollution #satellites #astronomy #starlink Another very bleak article about the skies. I bet it will happen sooner than later. Elon is leading the competition to fill the skies with crap. www.universetoday.com/articles/28-...

You know it's just another day in the US when a shooting doesn't hold the #1 trending on Bluesky for very long.

Good to see they are still around! 😀

#wisconsin #wisconsinwinter #midwest -26 in Sturgeon Bay. I guess I'll stay inside with fuzzy pants, double sweatshirt, a blanket and a kitty - and still be cold. ☹️

#renton #rnt #washington A friend send me this photo of my old home airport Renton (RNT), WA. I wonder how many planes got messed up?

#ebay #ebaysellers #homebusiness Christmas shopping? It's been a good month of sales so far. Profit nowhere near what we used to do pre-pandemic selling palletized equipment which was worth more than our entire December so far.

#satellites #lightpollution #astronomy #starlink #astrophotography Another good article. I guess it's started....I sold one of my 4 telescopes. 🙁 www.cbc.ca/news/science...

I love Star Wars movies and hate to offend Jabba ,but this is just disgusting. He looks like he's rotting from the inside out.

#astrophotography #lightpollution #satellites #astronomy #starlink Not good for the future of astronomy and night skies. Nothing new, just another article that is depressing....and infuriating. darksky.org/news/how-sat...

#hamradio #amateurradio Wow....that's looking pretty dead. 40m always works to somewhere even if just a state away. The sun has been busy the last few days. Most likely snowing when the aurora hits from the last fart from that sunspot.

#astronomy #astrophotography #lightpollution #telescopes I'm selling off some of my scope gear and was just looking up info on my Solar filter. I came across this explanation why Orion Telescopes went out of business. One reason was "Light Pollution". I'll add STARLINK to that also. Tragic. 😢

#ebay #ebayseller #homebusiness Biggest outgoing pile of Ebay stuff in a long time. Christmas shopping? Tariff free? Not sure, but we'll take it. Now to get it dropped off before the snowstorm .

#caturday Looks like Greta, but she would never removed just a hand.

#maga #trumpsucks A Christmas gift idea that involves pets? jerrtom.com/products/sh-...

#sdr #hamradio #amateurradio #adsb #weatherballoon Most of the tracking stuff I play with on one screen. Made a little HTML file that loads them all in the browser. Just need to add the GOES satellite stuff.

#sonde #balloon #SDR #amateurradio Nerd posting: I just got the J-pole hung in the attic of the garage. I'll put it higher after snow allows. I got the antenna from a guy in Michigan who chases weather sonde balloons. Already see a difference in the signal.

#SDR #GOES19 #Earth Almost live view of the Earth just now from my basement station. Can't see our snow here in WI yet under the clouds, but looks like N/S Dakota got hit pretty well.

#caturday A little late for caturday, but a good photo of Greta. She has an embarrassing habit of "fur mowing" on her arm but kinda cute anyway.

#digital #hamradio #amateurradio #ft8 #ft4 #psk31 A good article about radio digital modes. I've worked 136 countries on about 25 watts. Amazing how well this works. I do grab the key now and then for classic CW!

#seestar #astrophotography Ok I'm very impressed with what I see you all post! This is my old setup. I sold the dome when I moved, and miss doing photography without the complex setup. I'm very tempted to get a SeeStar now to get back into the hobby - without the long setup annoyance! 😀

#weather #midwest #wisconsin Wonderful. "Coldest weather on Earth"...and we are right in the middle. Fuzzy pants, 3 layers of shirt/sweatshirt, a blanket and a kitty will be needed. www.msn.com/en-us/weathe...

I don't need a holiday dinner or a walk to fart! local12.com/news/nation-...

#magasucks #markkelly #shuttle Mark flew/commanded the shuttle, not just ride in back (nothing against mission specialists though!). Orange Dick-Tater nearly fell on his ass trying to get in a garbage truck.
