Waking up with the sun in the Earth Module the coolness is apparent. We don't use the furnace and even the desert cools at night. The Commander wanted to get some extra winks so Kadizzle crawled out of bed and got the coffee going. To take the edge off the cold Kadizzle lit the little propane heater Gary gave us. Without enough storage capacity we wake up with somewhat of a power shortage. Until the sun comes up and the solar starts cranking our power is low so there will be some brief generator time to get us by. The Commander is up and packing lunch for today's adventure. Off into the unknown we will hike with friends today starting at 8:30. Things are moving faster than usual.
The hot air balloons got blown off course yesterday. It will be interesting to see if they are up today, there is a little wind. The module is warmed up and the clock says 6:30. About 300 yards away is the model airplane airport. With the wealth of Sedona this is the mother of all model airplane airports. The airport has a long well marked runway. Flying enthusiast can charge their planes batteries with an elaborate solar set up. Covered seating is available for spectators and life is good for the hobbyist. Talking with the flyers and watching them do acrobatics is fun. Every type of plane shows up and the detail and work put into a lot of the planes is amazing. Even model jets fly around here. Some of the gliders get up and sail with the hawks. If there will be balloons they should show up any minute. Kadizzle should be able to see them over his left shoulder heading down from Sedona. Any minute The Commander will give the order " Get off your lazy ass and go turn the solar panel around". Kadizzle will jump up in his sweat pants, salute and run outside to harvest the electrons. So ring the bell and start the day.
