  1. I think I've mentioned it before but I can relate to Applejack and Twilight Sparkle. Similar to AJ, I live out in the country and speak with a southern accent. I share many of the same interests as Twilight Sparkle, such as astronomy and science in general. I mean, she even mentioned a catadioptric telescope in S2E20 "It's about Time"! :ticking:

  2. Clouds cleared out last night. Thank you Rainbow Dash for that.

    Atmospheric turbulence was quite low, which allowed me to exceed the optical limit of my Celestron C8. I'd say the dust on the red planet is completely settled. The animation I made of Mars rotation covers a period of 1 hour. I hope to do an even longer animation.

    And just for fun, I have included some thermal infrared pics of clouds from earlier today. Imaged with a midwave infrared camera (2-5 microns).

  3. I got my 1st job as a small engine mechanic at one of the local shops. I learned a lot there and the owners treated me like family. The pay was ok, but spring and summer were brutal. I worked there for over 5 years before I had to resign due to college.

  4. A couple years ago, I went to a museum with some of my family. While walking there, I noticed a credit card laying on the ground. I picked it up in hopes I would find the owner. Later on, I saw a lady frantically searching her purse, so I asked her if she was missing a credit card. It was hers and she was very happy I found it.

  5. Learning to ride a bike was a bit rocky for me at first. I was like 8 or 9 yrs old when I finally got the hang of it. Prior to that, I took out both of my mother's statues at the end of the driveway. A few years later, I can recall getting thrown off my bike after my makeshift ramp failed.

    Oh, some of the stupid things I did as a kid. :mlp_laugh:

  6. For a while, I had preferred the earlier seasons because I found the change in writers to be noticeable in the show. Also, I might have been a little more biased towards Season 1 since I still love the first 2 episodes. Those converted me to a fan of the show. But now, I like them all. Even Season 8 is looking good to me.
