Endeavor waiting for takeoff!
Wow... Endeavor is just sitting on the runway, getting ready to take off. Apparently, Endeavor is scheduled as STS-119, targeted for launch on Feb. 12, 2009.
Shuttle Endeavor just Landed, Nextdoor!!!
Here's a semi-decent shot of our view, from work! The shuttle, riding piggyback, landed for the night, here at Carswell AFB. :) Here's a link to the Star Telegram article. And here are better shots, from a friend of a friend at Lockheed! note: ours is the 'farthest-left' bldg, on the edge of this pic.
Big Brother Possum

New Grass and Tree Surgery
Checkout the new grass that Laura laid down. Next year... it'll be a FULL YARD, baby! :) But you can also see our tree suffering from Dutch Elm Disease . We had to "trace" it (removing 1 tree ring near the disease.... all down the length where stain can be seen), but we'll hafta wait and see if it saves it. :(
