Re: What have you just bought?

Tickets to Kennedy Space Centre - our flight doesn't leave until 22:15 that day, so this should pass the time nicely (and something off my bucket list).

We're staying in Titusville the night before, so only about 10 miles from there, then about an hour's drive to the Airport.

I went twice in '91 spent all day there.

Second time ont only was there a Shuttle on the pad but it had the cover on adjusting the cargo bay.

But a second one landed at the Cape, everyone was outside trying to see it.

Re: What have you just bought?

The lighting under which you view the comparision will affect how they look.

Pigments react differently to the light they are viewed under so try to use the same type of light that you have in the room where you want them. IE. If it's warm LED or daylight then try the match under the same.

I remember this effect when I replaced the wings on a red car and sprayed them from an aerosol can. Under daylight they were an ideal match, under sodium street lights (yellow, almost monochromatic) they were obviously different.

Re: What have you just bought?

Elementary The Complete Series, and SAS: Rogue Warriors on DVD.

My Blu-Ray & DVD collection is now 1,011 titles which is made up of 2,129 discs (The box set above is 1 title).


That works out to 299,536 minutes, or 208 days 16 minutes.

So if I started to watch a midnight on New Years Day I'd finish on July 27th (56.82% of the year complete)
