Junkyard Wars

Remember that cool show?  At least the first couple of seasons were anyway.  Perhaps there will be a day astronauts will engage in a space reality version, mining all of the space debris in order to build a vessel to get back home- the pressure!  By the way Junkyard Wars was inspired by the events of Apollo 13, ironic huh?  Outside of the bits and pieces being tracked, 6000 satellites have been launched since Sputnik and only 800 or so are operational.

The Lawn

Looking for a lawn mower.  Any recommendations out there?  It would be interesting to entertain the thought of a shear cut, push mower- although I don’t know if I will cross hobby interests, yet.
