Good morning Cape Breton.
Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.
Last night, around 21:54 AST, the ISS flew past. Is that the correct term? Flew past? It is 410 km above the Earth. It is travelling over 27,000 km per hour.
The Big Guy took several pictures. It was a bit of a let down. He was hoping to see the solar panels. Plus it was also cloudy last night.
So perhaps another night, they will be able to see more details. Tonya found, as the ISS was traveling over Newfoundland, for some reason, the ISS got really bright. The Big Guy thinks, it must have been the sun off the solar panels.
Me, I was more concerned with the mosquitoes.
The Big Guy and Tonya covered themselves in mosquito repellent. Then, they also got these little tin pans and then a drink container that you get from Tim Hortons that will hold 4 drinks. They ripped that into 4 chunks and then set it on fire. They blew out the fire and let it smolder.
The smoke did keep the mosquitoes at bay for a bit. But not all the mosquitoes got the memo.
So, Tonya was doing the macarena on the deck. For those of you that don't know, that was a dance from the 90's.
Were expecting a little more heat today. Not quite as hot as other parts of the Maritimes, but hot enough for us.
