I fell out of my wheelchair last night and broke the same damn bone I broke at the beginning of the month. I'm getting real tiered of this sh!t!

Maybe Becky could give them a few lessons.

Anyone want to see Venus up close? I can't stay more than a few hours without overloading the cooling systems for life support, but it's kinda pretty, in a H. Bosch way... No EVA I'm afraid, survival even wearing the best Orion environmental suits is measured in seconds rather than minutes. I fabbed...

Still in the nursing home, still not putting up with their BS.

re:painkillers. I have been prescribed 2: Tylenol for the minor shit and hydrocodone for anything worse. This has resulted in opioid constipation and concurrent anal bleeding. My wife and I share a room, for the first time in years. I forgot she has minor sleep apnea and snores like a diesel-electri...

Your communication was blank the first time, and went back to the post to check my communications the second time. Sorry to not get what you sent, or I might not have run out of story to use for the next time.

I'm running out of story, I have been making it up as I wrote it, but I don't see any logical way to continue this story without delving into territory I'm not able to write. You may have noticed a lack of interpersonal interaction and dialogue, because I have been clinically depressed for over half...

After doing my civic duty as a member of the legislature it's back to the routine of grocery runs to the ISS and deliveries and pickups from Ceres. Plus I have to get the periodic checkup and repair on my knees and hips. I appreciate the health care, but I'm stuck on Ceres for as long as 10 days aft...

One of the things I did with my Earth money was to make sure my wife is cared for since she has been bed-bound since the pandemic and needs constant care and support. She's getting an hour of therapy every day alternating between occupational therapy for her upper body, physical therapy for her lowe...

OK, I'm now a majority partner in the construction of Penguin Station, a science platform located at a safe distance from Betelgeuse to get data in real time (or as close to real time as light speed will allow). I'm also a very minor legislator in the Orion Assembly. This requires in-person attendan...

That's another thing, Terran-grown coffee is more valuable than gold on Ceres Station. Which makes economic sense, the coffee is one to 5 AUs away while tons of gold are relatively next door. I get literally a cycle's officer pay per kilo of whole bean coffee, making me even more rich than I was bef...

Ah to be back on Earth for a while! Nothing like Earth grown coffee, and dairy coffee creamer. Orion sugar is chemically identical to the stuff from Earth but the fact that over 90% of the population is lactose intolerant means I only have ice cream when I'm on Earth. But what I really miss is Becky...

This is annoying. I just finished a long post and clicked Save draft just in time to get logged out, and now I can't find the draft.

Stud service is always a possibility when entertaining Orion women and was part of the expectation when I was made an Orion citizen. Like I said, retire to a habitat and make babies. This one was just in a hurry. Not that I objected, she paid extra to be first and was both pleasant to be with and th...

Wednesday of last week I lost my balance getting out of bed and fell with my right leg under me. My knee hip and ankle made a chorus of popping noises and, unfortunately so did my fibula. I got to spend several hours at the ER until I got padded splint fitted and waited for it to harden up, and I wa...

I had a strange request from my ship, she asked most firmly that I at least stow my ship suit as a belt or collar if I insisted on being otherwise nude. Not wearing my shipsuit was a serious violation of safety protocols and she would have no trouble with grounding me for my own safety, and doing a ...

I remember spending many happy vacations as a kid at the resort in Sol Duc. Do they still have the huge body temperature soaking pool?

As the resupply runs to the ISS stacked up I was faced with an unfamiliar problem, I was making money faster than I could spend it. And as my stays at the Orions' Ceres base continued I was having a similar problem. I was accumulating credits faster than I was allowed to spend them because I was get...

Trying to get the shuttle registered with the FAA was a nightmare. Even though my simulator runs were perfect there was the problem of no wings and the non-aerodynamic mode of flying, hard to demonstrate recovery from aerodynamic stalls on a craft that can hover without falling from the sky. Eventua...
