Only got one bird off the ground today. Totally Not a King Kraken maiden flight on an Aerotech G76. This is the first I've built zipperless and it worked great. Next flight should be on a H115 Dark Matter.
My 3" upscale Goblin got the rail mount stuck beside the motor retainer and it never left the pad...not the best use of a F40 motor 🤪
@mistymorningme@mstdn.party I hope that something awesome unexpectedly shows up somewhere in there.

Totally Not A King Kraken. Ready to fly.
38mm, 3" mailer tube, printed cone, baffled, zipperless.
@carlysagan It's about an asteroid hitting the planet, but it's a realistic account of how the aftermath would play out. During the approach a character stocks his house with supplies. When it hits his housekeeper seizes the house and won't let him in.
@carlysagan Bunker aside, I'm glad you found another place quickly.
It's also good to have a back up plan in case you somehow lose access to the bunker when it's needed, ala Lucifer's Hammer.

Grrr....
“The Service keeps this type of action under wraps until there’s already a dead wolf, limiting opportunities for meaningful discussions around conflict prevention or livestock management.“The public has a right to know when there are kill orders for endangered wildlife. Both #MexicanWolves and #PublicLands belong to the American public and shouldn’t be managed exclusively for the livestock industry.”

Whether sharp or blurry, it's mind blowing that this is a celestial object that's larger than our solar system.

@carlysagan Staying's not going to be pleasant with a pissed off landlord, especially one that didn't get their way. Better to find somewhere else with less chaos.
Ya'll can dump me in Antarctica.

1/ Today, I want to talk about coyotes in Lake Tahoe. The number of cats and dogs consumed by coyotes is minuscule compared to the number of rodents they eat. Scat studies have documented this over and over again. You can either have two coyotes in your neighborhood or thousands of rodents.
There are roughly 75 to 90 coyotes on this side of the lake. Each coyote requires 2 pounds of protein per day to survive.

This is the #BabocomariRiver in southern Arizona on the #SanPedroRiparianNCA, managed by the #BureauofLandManagement for, apparently, livestock.
The enabling legislation says "CONSERVE, PROTECT, ENHANCE" which the Bureau has interpreted to mean "Cattle, Poop, and Entitlement." New decision today allows livestock grazing to continue in these 'protected' lands.

Visitor. We're too far south for them to live here permanently. But, we enjoy their company and calls in the spring and fall. #birds #loons #birdmigration

Settlers named Seattle named for an Indigenous chief, then systematically tried to wipe the Lushootseed language from the landscape.
The Lushootseed-speaking Duwamish people have been in the Seattle area since time immemorial. Stories, such as "North Wind, South Wind", tell of the last Ice Age, and an Ice Weir breaking over the Duwamish River.
The Duwamish first signatories on the Treaty of Point Elliott in 1855, signed by Chief siʔaɫ, who was chief of the Duwamish and Suquamish tribes.
Their longhouse today stands across the street from where their of our largest villages was located before it was burned down by settlers in 1895.
@carlysagan For the queen of plasma, that sounds like a quitter's attitude.
If a studio needs an idea, a space vampire movie called Forty-Two Years of Night has potential.

We'll see in time how far Aurora gets, but props to Dawn Aerospace for adding the Earth flag.

Desert mariposa (Calochortus kennedyi) in the #SonoranDesert, April 2023. The winter rains brought beauty to this part of the country. #Wildflowers #Pollinators #DesertLife #Arizona
