Phosphor

Either one is fine with me, as long as there's hot syrup and butter on em. And maybe peanut butter too. 

Last night, I got my 1st image of Neptune for the 2018 apparition. The planet doesn't show much detail, since it's nearly 2.8 billion miles away from Earth. The disk and color are clearly visible. I'm hoping I can image more details with my larger Skywatcher 16 telescope. I've seen images of a storm on Neptune captured with a Celestron C14 on one of the astronomy forums, so it's possible.

Venus is now in its crescent phase. Cloud details in UV will likely be impossible to image from this point on, as the planet becomes a thin crescent in the coming weeks. This year's apparition is not favorable for northern latitudes, which means, I have to image the planet several hours before sunset. It's bright enough to be seen with the naked eye during the afternoon.

Saturn is still looking good. Mars is rapidly moving away from Earth, so it's apparent size and brightness will continue to diminish. 

Jupiter will soon disappear into the evening twilight sky as it goes around the Sun. See ya next year, Jupiter! 

Got bit in the leg twice by a large dog when I was 12. I had to go to the ER and get a tetanus shot and stitches. It was very painful and the bleeding didn't wanna stop on the way to the hospital.

Mainly scrapes and bruises from getting thrown off my bike and from getting hit with a bottle rocket and falling off the picnic table. Add a sprained ankle from jumping over a mud puddle when I was in 12th grade. I did some stupid stuff as a kid. I drew the line at riding my bike off into the water at one of the boat launches, like a couple of my cousins did. lol 

Maybe GTA:Vice City. I loved the music and theirs plenty of fun to be had, especially if you get the cop uniform. lol

My first game console was the SNES. I eventually had to sell it to buy the PS1 when it came out. For some reason, I still have the power cord for it. Found it a couple years ago in my electrical drawer. 

Pinkie Pie, RD, and Fluttershy from Shed.mov. 

When I didn't have assigned seats, I always went for the 1st row, last desk close to the corner.

This is going to sound weird but I occasionally have bad dreams concerning suburban growth in my area. Cookie cutter houses and streetlights everywhere with a giant dome of light polluted skies. Gives me the chills just thinking about it.  

 The dreams started about a decade ago. Thankfully, my nightmares haven't come true, yet. It's still rural here.

I'm terrible at multitasking and socializing.

I've wondered about that myself. When I see the term furry, I think of the folks wearing fursuits in public or drawing lots of anthropomorphic characters, many of which aren't from a specific show. I'm not in the furry fandom but I don't see anything wrong with it.

For someone that's burned out on politics, I do enjoy listening to Jonathan Haidt. Though, I'm not sure if he would be considered a political commentator.

I do occasionally listen to Styxhexenhammer666, Sargon of Akkad, and a couple others.

My favorite seems to be Ward's. Their chili cheeseburgers are great!

Sites I visit upon startup: 

- ClearDarkSky

- Weather

- CloudyNights

- Youtube

I will most likely wash the patio and set up my largest telescope in a little while.

Oh yes! I've forgotten how to reassemble a piece of equipment, I was working on at work, several times. Nowadays, I take pictures and keep a schematic handy.

It sucks when I finish a pump and see an "extra" spring or bolt laying on the counter. 

Been a Sonic fan since I was a little kid. I use to watch Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog when it aired early in the morning before I had to go to school. I've played all the classic Sonic games tho I'm terrible at getting all the chaos emeralds. I did get all of em in the 1st game and all of the time stones in Sonic CD. 

Large cities I've visited (that come to mind): 

Atlanta

Philadelphia

D.C.

Newark

New York City

Dallas

Albuquerque 

New Orleans

Yeah, I haven't traveled outside the U.S yet and I'm not much of a city person. 

I think it would be great if Derpy appeared in the 200th episode and with a speaking role.

I normally get 7-7.5hrs of sleep during weekdays. If I get less than 6 hrs of sleep, I will be absolutely useless and feel like crap the rest of the day. Weekends aren't much different, usually 8 hrs of sleep.

I use to think being around 100 miles or so away from the coast would keep me safe from a hurricane. Hurricane Katrina proved me wrong. If you do plan to stay, have supplies, a backup plan, and a generator with fuel on standby. Stay safe out there.

I took about a 6 year hiatus from gaming during and after college. Life got incredibly busy and stressful as I was working my way thru college and establishing a career. I returned to casually playing video games a few years ago after things settled down. I still don't play near as much as I did as a teenager, tho.

Anybody else go thru a long period of time without touching a video game?

Freedom Planet would have to be my favorite Steam game. I haven't played a 1st person shooter game since the James Bond 007 days.

My first Steam game was Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. Cute, fun game with awesome background music.
