You can mix bourbon into that, too.

Mulled sweet red wine. The Lakeridge Winery in Clermont makes a really good Southern Red that's great for mulling, no bourbon needed.

No, but according to tweets from Musk, a successful landing was only given a 30% chance. Fuel starvation to the engine caused by the rocket pitching upright again just before the landing attempt caused fuel pressure to drop. 

Otherwise, the launch was considered very successful because it validated a lot of engineering and other knowledge was gained, such as the fuel issue. 

The whole launch and descent was very cool video though.

Yes, that was a prototype, Fourth of July design.

Wow! Just watched the video of that rocket. Despite it failing to land properly, that’s still VERY impressive. Watching it fall horizontally and almost immediately right itself is well, impressive.

Thanks, I'll buy you a beer on the first passenger ship to Mars.

Can you bump it for us? All this "having to talk about stuff" nonsense is tweaking my anxiety to much to actually look for it.

I like it a lot.  Oddly, I wish I could get back into the office to work.  Not that I mind being at home, but it makes it difficult to meet anybody when you're working at home all the time.  I love the area.  Really like the new house.  And I'm close to my kids.  So things are good.

Glad to hear that. I can imagine it being a little bit of an odd time to switch jobs. Are you in a city area or more countryside?

I would say kinda neither.  I'm definitely in the burbs.  Kinda unique where I could go 5 miles one way and I'm more in the city and 5 miles the other and I'm out in farm land.  The other thing that I find interesting is that a lot of the bigger corporations, with large properties, around here have cattle or horses roaming around on their land because it gives them some sort of tax break.  My daughter works at Fidelity out here and they have a herd of longhorns.

I imagine the cattle cut the lawn maintenance by a bit as well.
