Two craggy peaks stand like mute sentinels before a flat polar plain in which grow stalks of fungoida bullarum magenta, flourishing beneath an argon sky. #EliteDangerous #EliteExploration

Swinging by to pick up my EDSM Badge at W URSAE MAJORIS before a jaunt out to EAFOTS sector of Formidine Rift space for another badge. #EliteDangerous

Each time I go out for a run in an air temperature 1 degree colder than I've experienced before, I discover a little bit more about my tolerances. This morning was -7°C. I know, for Canada this is still mild. But last winter this temp would've kept me inside with no debate.

I'm old enough to have been initiated into Canada's national love affair with ketchup flavoured chips by tearing into a late '80s-vintage bag of Hostess chippy goodness! 😋 I don't really expect these to taste the same but I may have to get my hands on them for nostalgia's sake.

I love pink cotton candy cloudscapes & it always feels like a special time to be alive, healthy, and to be out and about beneath them. I use an old compact point and shoot camera which is adequate for a low-level amateur but nothing makes me feel its limits more than the lack of a wide angle FOV.

Shiny & chrome! #EliteDangerous

My birthday is on the 19th and the next day Trump will be inaugurated, afterwards possibly signing into law the Executive Orders that will impose 25% tariffs on Canadian imports. Such an unwelcome birthday present. 🫤

Was finally able to rank up to Rear Admiral in the Federal Auxiliary Navy doing rescues during invasion of Sol. In the middle of engineering this latest piece of hardware. Never used SCBs before due to mostly flying small/medium ships, so now I gotta do the Kongga Ale bribe! :P #EliteDangerous

1369 hours flown in my Exploration Mamba over the course of 3 real-time years in the deep black! Seasoned, pioneering explorers who have gone before were 120% correct in their advice to choose a ship you love to fly. #EliteDangerous

If I ignore the context on what's really going on, these screenshots give me the impression that Thargoids are drawn to ejected heat sinks and that this is just a peaceful feeding time interaction. 😄 #EliteDangerous #PetThargoid

First evac sortie into Thargoid-infested Sol. Hyperdicted going in, two interdictions on approach to Galileo, & another hyperdiction leaving Sol with refugees. Made it with hull in decent shape & intact canopy somehow. Smart of Rescue Ship to hide among rings this close to Sol! #EliteDangerous

First Sol evacuation run to Rescue Ship Cornwallis. Only had prior experience with burning/caustic station rescues. Thargoid Hunter got me down to 77% but didn't lose a single evacuee out of 128 souls on my manifest. Also was my first ever hyperdiction. Maybe beginner's luck? #EliteDangerous

The forever home of this crashed probe has a front row seat to the celestial dance of the world's moon and host Class M star. Ehlanda A 1. #EliteDangerous

Last supermoon of the year on a bit of a brisk 6ºC Sunday morning. Still running in shorts & tee as this remains a pretty mild autumn. Can't wait until I get my fully reflective running jacket which should make my December & January runs safer & more comfortable.

My Twitter avatar was a toy rooster from my childhood that I stuck Googly eyes on. Why did I keep it? Maybe because the Rooster is my Chinese Zodiac sign. My Blue Sky avatar is a photo of a very multihued leaf from last autumn. Unfortunately I didn't have any Googly eyes handy with me that day!

How cool would it be if we could also have blossoms in autumn? 🌸🍂

The most geysers packed into one small area that I've seen in months! These are water geysers on the rocky ice world Lister in the Wyrd system. #EliteDangerous #BubbleExploration
