  1. Christmas brewing tomorrow - late this year, so less muscular and more orchestrated. Tri-continental, dark and packed with fruit.
  2. McManis Family Vineyards Petite Sirah California Vintage 2008 is one of the best wines under 100 SEK I have had for a while.
  3. Ljuset och värmen från solen genom den kyliga luften, ljudet från löv, enstaka fåglar och gevärsskott. Oktober.
  4. The space shuttle Discovery just docked with the International Space Station a few minutes ago, at 00.54 GMT. http://bit.ly/BTi7V
  5. The shuttle launch was utterly and completely awesome! Go Discovery! Go Christer! http://yfrog.com/2tcktj
  6. At the NASA viewing site. Everything is on track for launch in half an hour. http://yfrog.com/3t5ccj
  7. Had an airboat ride in the swamp today, saw three gators, lots of birds, and cattle. A quick battle with the ocean waves and back to pack.
  8. Next launch attempt will be midnight between Friday and Saturday. http://bit.ly/2PALa Then straight to airport for more predictable takeoff.
  9. Only two chances left for me now to see the launch - very early Friday and very late Friday (EDT). Anyway, great to meet old friends again.
  10. New launch attempt tonight . So, some more hours at KSC. Weather estimate is supposedly 70% GO. (Last night it went from 80% to 20% to 0...)
  11. Re-loaned some funds to the Leye Djité Group in Senegal http://bit.ly/15qrHt . (Don't know about Kiva yet? Check http://www.kiva.org/ .)
  12. Launch attempt is cancelled due to the weather conditions.
  13. Due to lightning nearby, STS-128 launch today is now at 60% no-go.
  14. At the viewing site, two hours before launch.
  15. Lazing by the pool after an ESA reception. Things look good for the STS-128 launch.
  16. Should probably start packing for the trip to Florida.
  17. On the coast. Two eagles circling. Not too disturbed by attacking seagulls.
  18. @BorjeOhlman Välkommen till det förlovade landet... http://yfrog.com/0x6f3fj
  19. A good summer beer party yesterday in spite of rain. 20 beers and 55 consumers. A sour beer (kriek) won the gold medal. Sign of quality.
  20. Off to the neighbours to celebrate - they finally got an OK to buy the house they live in since ages from the heirs of their late landlord.
