Us, in a science officer’s uniform from the “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” era, as per our assignment onboard of the USS Sequoia [NCC-1103]. It’s a sunny day at the Presidio of San Francisco, meaning we need to have our sunglasses on. The crew had gathered to watch the San Francisco Fleet Week Air Show and nerd out as usual both amongst ourselves and curious passersby!

A sale listing for an E60 BMW M5 that is within our price range. The E60 M5 is one of our bucket list cars because it has a 5-liter V10 engine which is derived from BMW’s F1 engine used in that era. This is an absolute dream car for us, and this is likely a bad idea, but the devil /and/ angel on our shoulders is screaming at us to buy it, lol
Union Station in LA
A patch specially designed to celebrate our working on a third move of a Space Shuttle through urban Los Angeles. We first moved the mockup in July 2012, which led to the California Science Center asking us to come help with the Endeavour move in October 2012, and just moved the mockup again in on October 17. Three Space Shuttles blaze a trail to symbolize the three “missions” we have worked to move them, along with the clear statement of “THREE SHUTTLES MOVED”. Our current workplace with this mockup, the Columbia Memorial Space Center, the California Science Center, and NASA, are represented in the outer lining of the patch. 15 stars are present to represent the 15 years we have worked in aerospace since we started in 2009.
