I'm leaving nothing to chance and camping out somewhere on the chance they take em over the bridge today

I've put the tripod bag over the camera to help it keep cool until something happens or doesn't

also if I'm cow-and-also-snake does that make this a snakeout

wow the movies never said anything about how boring this gets

the weather is nice and there's shade at least

but I'm out of snacks already

here's a weird boat passing thru the drawbridge I'm staking out. its name is termite and it's weird

as it should be

you watch.

I'm gonna hit the five or six hour mark of sitting up here (I got here at 8:30), call it, and the instant i get home and get lunch heated up is when someone texts me that they're lowering the bridge or sending the shuttlewagon up the line to gst things started

I looked up from my reading and the bridge was lowering.

they raised it right after I pulled the picture off my camera to share in excitement.

...maybe they just did a test lowering ahead of when they're actually planning to do it later today?

lowered again

lol raised again

Certified Space Shuttle Expert Chris Bergin Of Independent Space News Outlet NASASpaceFlight says it shouldn't be long now, based on his knowledge of that whole process from the Shuttle days

i think it's safe to say we're done for the day

I don't know how the folks who stalk starship in South Texas do this, I only did it out of spite because I missed this thing yesterday and wanted to Not Miss It This Time
