BAHEP and SATOP . . .
We awoke this morning to much better weather than we’ve had the last couple of day. Both warmer and less windy.
About 11:30 Jan and I did a 1 mile walk, though with less wind and higher temps, it was actually kind of hot. But it looks like that will change again in the next couple of days.
Getting back to the rig Jan fed the birds. At least today the feeder wasn’t blowing sideways.
I did get this photo of a pelican out in front of the rig. Unfortunately he didn’t come close enough for Jan to feed him.
A little before 6pm we headed up to Pasadena to have dinner with our good friend Barbara Cutsinger. Barbara is a great cook and we always look forward to eating with her.
We’ve known Barbara for about 5 years since I did IT support for BAHEP (Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership) where she works.
BAHEP is a membership group that works to stimulate regional economic development and employment. And through their SATOP (Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program) group they also connect small business owners who need technical advice with a NASA scientist or engineer.
One of the things that Barbara does there is compile and publish the Business Development Update, a document that details commercial and retail development in the area, along with office and warehouse space available.
When we’re on the road we always enjoy reading the latest issue since it lets us keep up with what’s going on back here.
We got back home about 10:30 and Jan went right to bed, since we’ve got to get an early start tomorrow. We’re Landon sitting after Brandi takes him in for his 4 month checkup.
More tomorrow…
