The DW and I went out Tuesday evening for the ISS flyover. Last night was the Draco meteor shower and tomorrow we are going to the JPL open house. Nice being retired and having time for new experiences. Almost forgot, went to afternoon matinee of the Martian on Wednesday.
I forgot about the JPL open house. It's only once a year, I believe. Have fun, it's pretty interesting. Not much action in the control rooms, though.
ETA: I was on Jury Duty downtown L.A. with a guy that worked at JPL during the Pioneer 11 flyby in 1979. He'd bring in new pictures everyday. Pretty cool until the trial ended in a mistrial. :M
