Power wire build
I'm home for only six days and going back to Cali for eight days or March 18th. The launch in Vandenberg slipped to the 13th. This means the Molex’s will be in this week I'm told but I will not see them until I get back. I could have them sent to me in Cali but I would have to make them up in my motel room and the last time I soldered in my room I caught all kinds of hell because of the strange smell and could set off thesmoke alarm. Not good! So I will build them starting on the 19th. at home. Sorry for the delay but that’s life in the launch support business.

I spent two years in Missile supply there in the late '60's.
Titan II and Minuteman's were the flavor of the day. I think they had to blow up every third one launched because the would go off course. Used to have to spend weekends restricted to the base to put out brush fires if they blew before getting out over the ocean.
Loved Danish Days festival in Solvang, a lot of good beer!

Ya it’s a maiden launch of the ULA Atlas V NRO payload. No, I’m not saying time of lift off, I want to live. This is going to be a killer launch on this retro fitted pad in the mountains. I'll post some unbelievable close up pics. This thing better go because I'm spending way to much time in Cali. Love it here but way to expensive to live here. Anyone around the Vandenberg area should check it out. Once they give the public a time line of launch then I can post the time of the launch. We have a crew doing Shuttle on the 11th. And a Delta end of March from Cape Canaveral. VERY busy launch year. I love fireworks so this is on the top. YA
