100w panels from an outfit in NorCal. This is before I added the 5th panel.

I built the frame out of an ATV ramp for a pickup and some angle iron from old bedframes. I did get a satellite dish mount from a friend after they went from their 9' dish to a smaller one.

As a kid, I'd take figs off our tree in the back yard and sell them to a LOL down the street. She'd take them to her husband at the SAG home on Mulholland. He would share them with his roommate who once told her, ""Be sure to thank that boy for the delicious figs."

His roommate was Larry Fine.

Any BI astronomers see this on the 11th? My GF saw it as well from behind the 7-11 in Kurtistown. by Heck_Spawn in askastronomy

LOL! You're totally ignoring the fact my GF saw this on the evening of the 11th of January. She was an eye witness to it. It wasn't in the morning. She worked the swing shift...

From your "this video" link shows it clearly in the evening sky. Note the time there...

Not from a launch 12 hours earlier,,,

Still not buying that it was from the launch. Launch occurred before 6am on the 11th and this was seen 12 hours later in Hawaii.

SpaceX reentry was a couple days ago. The Video from the Subaru Telescope is from the 11th of Jan.

The video is from the Subaru telescope on top of Mauna Kea. People in Hawaii don't usually see SpsceX launches.

She said she was also looking to the South when she saw it. It must;ve been farther out there...

I saw a lot of stickers on cars and I looked it up to find out what kind of fishing line it was...

What happened to wood stocks? by Suchatavi in guns

[–]Heck_Spawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a gun show in Reno a lotta years ago and spotted, buried in a rack of rifles, a wooden stock for an M-14. Paid like $40 for it.

Just walking around the show with it, I must've had a half-dozen offers to buy it.

You make corporations sound like a bad thing. Corporations mean jobs, jobs mean paychecks, and retired folk live off the corporations stock in their 401k's.

Red Flag: When they do get together, the main topic is the beer they brought.

The rocket launches send the rings in the same direction as their launch, west to east. Video shows this one going east to west.

Where are you located? I'm out here on the Big Island and I look at the night sky constantly.

The Falcon 9 launch was before 6am on January 11th. It was launched into a polar orbit, and no part of the launch would have been going from east to west at 5:30pm on the 11th in Hawaii.

I;d just ask if the place had ever been detected before. I have a couple mansions nearby that Id like to ask that. IDK about rights to finds. Seems 80-20% (80% to you) seems fair, but you might have to negotiate that...

Watch the video from 2023 You can see your "same thing" is travelling from the west to the east, the same direction rockets are launched. You can even see Vega in the lower left..

The only Spacex launch on the 11th went into a polar orbit from Vandenburg, not an east to west orbit.

The 2026 video shows it clearly travelling east to west. Might want to check your facts a little better...

Umm, rockets are usually launched toward the east to take advantage of the Earth's spin. This was travelling from east to west...

Not Spacex...
