Houston, We have touchdown

I arrived home at 18:54 last night. My away mission was successful and the client was satisfied with the results.

Fresh from recent maintenance, Dasher-1 was pressed into service and performed well. I think I need to rebalance the tires, however.

Traffic was heavy but flowed well on the return journey. I was able to maintain orbital velocity nearly the whole way.

I made on stop at the Deptford Mall for some Christmas shopping. I hit the mall about 17:30. Timing could not have been better. I had a list and knew what I was looking for. I was a man on a mission and I was successful.

I was in the mall, visited two stores a quarter mile apart, purchased four gifts and back on the road in 45 minutes flat. That’s my kind of shopping. I like to think of it as an exercise in decision-making. In this situation, I can make quick decisions and be on my way.
