Stay away from the news for a while, turn it on and always a new WTF surprise!

#lightpollution #spacejunk #darkskies #astronomy #astrophotography This is so disgusting. Does the FCC decide what happens to EVERYONE's skies? Hmm...which of my 3 telescopes do I sell first? 😡 www.pcmag.com/news/fcc-app...

#greenland #trumpsucks

#AIsucks Rant: I've been back and forth trying to figure out a billing issue with Xfinity. I've spent probably close to an hour now with a few simple questions, but hate this AI chat shit, and chatting online when I find and agent is so slow. Can anyone use email anymore?? Please?

#maga #trumpsucks Ha! He's been found.

#olympia Nice sunny evening in our new home city and WA capital of Olympia. Mt rainier is just out of view to the left. So much less stressful than Wisconsin. Glad to be back in the PNW.

#darkskyinternational #lightpollution #satellitepollution Nothing new, but just disappointing to keep reading how the skies are getting slowly (or quickly?) ruined. www.eso.org/public/news/...

#trumpsucks #magasucks I thought that looked familiar. At least it seems this is AI and not real - yet.

#airshow #bremertonairshow WTF? We were kind of interested in going to our first airshow in the area. Then saw the prices. Uh....nope. Not that we have access to a plane these days, but they don't even allow flying in either. So much or promoting aviation.

#arduino Usually I don't fall for email ads, but I did buy one of these Arduino UNO Q 4Gig units. I've been curious about trying one, but the threat of increasing cost thanks do data center memory hoarding, it was time to jump in! store-usa.arduino.cc/products/uno...

The first neighbor to greet us at the new house. Heard coyotes, owls, and others that probably live past the blackberries.

Moving day is done. A couple guys hired to move the rest from storage. Just have to unpack the stuff. Completion of a 2 year, 2,000 mile, sell, buy, a few days in a horrible hotel, and month in apartment. I’m damn sore right now!

One more hot night in the tiny studio apartment for Greta. We get the new home tomorrow!

#olympia #timelapse #tides Hanging at the beach on a hot day - apartment is too hot! Timelapse of the tide coming in and sailboats. House is paid, just waiting to move in now.

Looks like night skies are doomed. It was nice while it lasted. Sadly astronomers aren’t trillionaires. spacenews.com/astronomers-...

#caturday Greta’s way of dealing with 90+ degree day inside a slightly cooler apartment. One week until we get the house - and her world expands past 350 sq ft.

One of the worst parts about moving to a new area is getting lost. I’m severely out of practice with city driving and even after 2 weeks I can’t find my way out of a parking lot. 😳 Google Maps is my friend.

#mountainsout #pnwvolcanos #washington Nice to be back and see the mountain.

I knew it!

I think Greta is bored with apartment living. A few weeks until the house move in. Apartment is about the size of our old living room, and she has nowhere to run and play. A kitten is in our future for a friend for her! 🙂

Been there, done that, tried again, scared again, gave up on sailing Lake Michigan. Looking forward to sailing the calm seas of Puget Sound again!

Our house offer accepted. Can’t wait to get out of apartment living. This idiot set off fire alarm and sprinkler in stairway. Yay.

#trumpsucks He’s taking about the refrigerant rules…and the ballroom. I can’t see past that swollen bellybutton next to him. 😆

#nasa #astronauts #woman Pretty cool to see this.

Proper way to point out prices these days.

Ugh! 😣 Olympia Washington.

#gas #fucktrump This was cheap on our U-haul trip from WI to WA this week. Luverne, MN. Gas was probably well over $1200. Purchase stopped at $175. Then had to put the card in for a second purchase to fill the tank. 😡

On our trip across the country, we did a short stop in South Dakota to see a nuke. Surprised to see how small the warhead at the top is. Scary.

#caturday 5 states in 2 days as Greta relaxes in the hotel on her travels to her new home in Washington state with her cat parents.

Ha! Just saw this on Rachel Maddow's show. www.epicfurious.com

True.

#caturday Within 5 minutes of unpacking the Prime box, a cat was captured.

Home inspection this morning. Greta out in the car with us. Getting used to her 30 hour journey to Washington next week.

#starlink #spacejunk #kesslersyndrome #NASA Interesting video of the Earth animated from the Artemis II photos. Satellites (and a string of Musk's Starlinks) can be seen even from this far distance. youtu.be/OdO_g1S_MBU?...

He told the Artemis crew that he was fit enough for space. Sound good, launch the guy!

Accepted an offer on the house. Of course it's cold here, chance of snow, and Olympia it's actually spring (a little on the warm side). Inspections to pass and we're outta here. 14 days until departing Wisconsin.

Fight fight fight!

#caturday A video this week. Snow is gone finally. Greta a couple weeks ago trying out a snowbank. She wasn’t too pleased.

#hamradio Another reason to dislike that AST Spacemobile tennis court sized antennas. Taking over the ham band? I hope the amateurs jam those things.

Trap works again. Caught a nice 10+ lb kitten.

Yep, that’s about right. I’ve been cold since October.

#starlink #spacex #spacejunk #kesslersyndrome Sad article about the night sky destruction thanks to Elon. Comets are especially hard to image now since they are best at sunrise/sunset....but so is Musk's selfish mess. spaceweather.com/archive.php?...

#sturgeonbay #sevatopol #wisconsin #farm #realestate The listing is up. Looking for a house with a hobby farm, horse, cow pasture with barn or just a lot of space? Contact: stevenarendt.com www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

#sturgeonbay #wisconsin A pretty fancy sunset. Strangely warm wind, up to 61F. First time in months I've actually felt slightly comfortable outside.

#artemisii #nasa #spacex I totally agree. Very unflattering photo of the creepy guy too. 😆

It’s official now. House will be live on Zillow Monday. Departure is May 14, arrive in Washington on the 17th. Just hoping the house sells quickly - and for the price we want.

I sure hope they decline the McDonalds lunch with the orange guy.

Ha! The phone call with idiot was the funniest part of the mission.
