April 2Apr 2 "toilet trouble shooting" "I will hand the toilet lead over to Christina" "remove the urine hose from the cradle and allow it to run for one minute, then add 250 ml of water..." " it worked"! "so we do not suspect a blockage, we think it could be priming issue" etc. and finally the repair was made without any plumbers on board. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

I’ll watch the launch with interest but I’m not sure it will give me the same excitement as watching those Saturn V launches with that iconic countdown. https://youtu.be/ViNcBQ8cDA0?si=ylj_mpV_FLp7Wyk6 Good luck to all the crew and support staff. Earth in UHD should look pretty cool. 😎 That brings back memories. We didn't have TV in South Africa back then (can you believe that) and I remember listening on the radio as the details unfolded. We were all very scared that the mission might return with some horrible disease. Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM. Z170x Gigabyte m/b. 28" LG HD monitor.
