[BVARC] K5WH-117, BLT-117

2023-08-10 Thread Walter Holmes via BVARC 
Quick Update……

 

After several weeks of flight from the BVARC Field Day site, it appears we 
haven’t heard from the balloon in over a week now, so it’s probably down for 
the count.

 

It was certainly a very interesting flight with all the backwards trips it was 
making. 😊

 

As we close the books on this one, we are already testing more trackers as I 
type, as well as testing a NEW tracking/reporting application script for 
extracting and propagating the information into all the formal reporting sites.

 

So much more to come. Below is a snapshot of the full flight.

 

Many thanks for allowing the South Texas Balloon Launch Team participate in 
Field Day with you guys.

 

All the best,

Walter/K5WH

Re: [BVARC] TOMORROW: Brews with BVARC

Kori,
The Red Robin in League City next to Baybrook Mall has a 15-20 size Rubics 
Cube. I was there last month but didnt snap a pic of it or I would attach. I 
bet they would let you solve it while you wait for your burger.

Rod,

I just wanted to second what Jeff said. There are many websites that give you 
basic algorithms. I think that solving the first layer can be pretty intuitive 
and you should shoot for that goal. The second layer is more complex, and 
taking a look at algorithms for that you can quickly understand them. After 
that, it's going to be a heck of a lot easier to memorize the algorithms and 
figure it out in an intuitive way later. I take about a minute for the standard 
cube, the best I've done is about 30 seconds (with a ton of luck). But there 
are many more shortcuts and so on to learn and I have been looking into a few 
myself. Take a look at the sites Jeff sent and practice with them. One thing 
that I found helped was to pop off one of the edge pieces and add a dab of 
petroleum jelly inside the cube(helps you move it smoother and faster). After 
that, moving up to a "speed cube" shaves a few seconds off. Once you get the 
3x3x3 down, you just need a couple more algorithms and you can do a 4x4x4, 
after that most bigger ones are not too hard to figure out (just tedious). I'm 
currently working on a 7x7x7. Still got a few things to learn, but I've solved 
it in a few hours. 1.5 hours on my second try. Practice and develop muscle 
memory, you'll get it.

73!

Rod Martinez here from VE testing.  Wife Tina (General Class KG5VPB) and I are 
barely able to get 2 faces on our Rubiks Cubes.  You make it look boring at
