Back to the Future

It's sad to live on the "Space Coast" of Florida
and not have any space activity.
The skies have been quiet since they
stopped the shuttle program.

But last night that all changed!



A private company, Space X has been trying to
launch their rocket for a couple of months.



It took years for the shuttle program to get it right.
We would sit on the beach and wait and wait
and then it was scrubbed.

 

I LOVE launches at sunset.
I love how the sun catches the trail and makes it gorgeous!



Kyle and I happened to be out in the pasture
at exactly the right time


Fuzzy, but it was really cool!
The end bubble got bigger and bigger
we saw 4 different peices as they flamed out.

Welcome Space X!!!!!


Meanwhile, poor CJ was back at the vet on Monday.



They have a nifty horse holder.
NOBODY gets out of this thing.
She sedated him so she could check his eye.
It's getting a little better.
She did LOTS of debriding - said lots of icky stuff
came off, so it's sore and swollen.



We don't have that luxury.
So we have to use a twitch.
(He needs to see the DENTIST!)



He (understandably) HATES it.
(me too)
*Disclaimer - it doesn't hurt, it is an acupressure thing
that actually releases endorphins, but he HATES
anything that touches his face/mouth/eye.
