Clear for Mission

I am about packed. I have checked tire pressures on both Dasher-1 and Blue Velvet INCLUDING the tiny spare. On the regular tires, pressures were just a tad on the high side. I knocked them down to factory specs. What with high temperatures being predicted, I don’t need the pressure TOO high.

On the tine spares, both were in the 40-psi range. I pumped back to their 60-psi spec. Its bad enough getting a flat. But to discover the spare isn’t correctly inflated just adds to the misery.

I will refuel in route as will as fuel in Vineland is much cheaper than in North Jersey. I should be able drive up there, do my commuting and return on a single tank of fuel.

All I have to do is load my stuff into Dasher-1 and I am clear for lift-off.

Good-bye!
