Semi-Retired Engineer
The Texas storm was crazy. Huge power losses and water outages across the state. We were very lucky to be in our Airstream with our own water, propane and batteries. Temperatures dropped below freezing here for about 36 hours. That was enough to freeze water lines and cause lots of problems.
We only lost power for 12 hours due to a rolling blackout. But the stores are running out of everything fresh.

Greg, Rita, Pam and I drove to the SpaceX Center and Launch Pad. It is 5.3 miles from our Airstream, but 39 miles to drive. It is amazing how close we could get to the Launch Pad and SN10 (Serial Number 10). There was debris on the side of the road from the last rocket explosion from SN9. We picked up some carbon fibers. How cool is that!
We hope to go back when it is sunny later this week. SN10 may take off before we leave on March 1st. Hoping we get to see another launch.

We had a fun filled day. Went to the Bird Sanctuary followed by the Turtle Rescue Center. We went on a Sunset Dinner Sail followed by drinks and live music at Longboard Bar. All in all a great day.

We headed to the island for a little beach time and stopped to see the kites!

Had a great day today. SpaceX was planning to launch in the morning, but it kept being delayed. Bob picked me up for golf, and on our way, the swing bridge was open, so I stopped to film it closing. What a mechanical linkage.
While filming it, the rocket took off! 2:58 seconds into the video. Wow!!
Then, we had a great day of golfing with Barry and Bob.
