I’m sure this is what the league expected when this was designated a Jags home game.

I bet you can spot at least a dozen Jags fans maybe even 15.

Getting an early start. Pleased to see my daughter wore her green socks without prompting.

In a change of pace for me, my oldest showed me around her work today. My favorite is the gravestone prop with the continuity error.

If you see a guy walking around London in an Orion jacket the next few days, he might have some Artemis II and NASA patches and stickers to give away. Then again, he might just be some random guy. Gonna have to take a risk.

51 laps around the sun completed. Don’t know that I’ll ever top this last one.

Hanukkah-themed BD can now stand. Getting closer to being able to take his spot at the present factory line.

She does not understand that it is time for the Flyers game, not time for a walk.

Made decent progress on the BD unit build today. Last weekend I broke both lower leg housings so just not having to start over is good.

Packing up and moving out of my old Orion office. It’s tradition here to get a going away picture signed by the team you’re leaving. Next one will be from Artemis II

I think that would be fine. The crew has posted lots of little snippets to instagram and occasionally you can catch a glimpse of something, but it’s difficult to really see details.

I marked up a few things here.

The 2 large lockers in the middle of the vehicle were the assumed stowage location of things like fecal canisters. The only thing I can say for sure had a more set location was the med kit, because the locker had a Red Cross on the door

Now I just need to do some cleanup, secure the wires and build a new BD unit to man the factory floor.

Sadly, I missed the event where these were handed out but still nice to get them today. Whole lot of effort captured on 3 pieces of paper.

The trench glows green because Christmas. Helps light up the thing and offsets the Eye of Thermal Exhaust Port that otherwise dominates the lighting.

Never shared my revamped Death Star trench run. Added warm white surface lights as the nominal station lights. The mechanism to get the X-wing moving through the trench works in theory. Completely overhauled the position. May just turn that on only occasionally.

For #stunday, another one of my favorites from Norway. Taken on the drive from Oppdal to Sunndal in the early evening. The way the clouds interact with the hillside just makes the area feel more mythical.

Ok, now I’m starting the present factory re-design. First steps - redo the floor to provide enough room for the conveyor belt and add inner walls on each end to mount Death Star wall panel lights. Still need raised platforms on each end to hide wires & such.
Starting point for the present factory floor. Wooden box roughly 70” x 24”. Re-done base with both end walls in place. All with a fresh coat of light gray paint. 24” x 35” vertical end wall with 4 studs from front to back.

With 2 of my daughters now out of the house, that means more time to focus on what I do best - ridiculous Star Wars Christmas decorations.

Tomorrow is my last full day on Orion. It’s been an amazing 10 years.
Me in the Orion Crew Survival Suit doing a crew time on back test to see if I could sit like this for 3 hours. Me in the Orion mock-up in Houston doing a public outreach event with the Intrepid Museum in New York. I’m sitting on a seat back holding an Orion model, talking through docking with another spacecraft. Me sitting at the Callisto console during Artemis I about to talk to Alexa on-board Orion. Me on the launch pad with the Artemis II vehicle behind me.

I’d like to thank this Eurasian Jackdaw for looking epic for me. #stunday

Time for some fresh coats of paint for the little girl who’s not a little girl any more.

A member of my team gave me a card and this pen, wishing me well as I move to Moon Base. But, can I really be a humble genius if I have a pen that calls me humble genius? I feel like the pen negates the concept.
Yellow pen with white lettering that reads Humble Genius At Work.

On a drive from Trondheim to Oppdal, we came across this derpy momma moose. She looks like she stepped right out of a cartoon.

Hard to do Norway justice in photos.
Bottom right third of the photo is a hillside covered with densely packed trees. Middle this is a rocky hillside dotted with trees and a smattering of clouds. Left third is a swirl of clouds.

Couple weeks ago, I got tired of wrestling/struggling with my 3D printer and decided to buy a new one. There’s been a definite technological leap. Multi-color, high-speed, better precision prints are just amazing.

The cat has decided that the curl support for my little home gym is his favorite toy. He likes to try and drag the whole thing into middle daughter’s room. It’s his den.
