T minus 16 now and some thoughts on T

It would seem that there are various theories about what T stands for. Take-off, time, test and tortoise all had their supporters. In the end, I did the Safari thing and went and had a look on NASA and typed into their search facility 'What does the T stand for in T minus' and got this back:

The terminal count phase extends from T minus 20 minutes (T refers to lift-off time) through solid rocket booster ignition. So, there you have it. T stands for Lift-off time. Maybe it should have been L not T, but would that sound as good? L minus 15....nah. If they had said it referes to Take-off time, then we could have had a choice as to whether T stood for Take or Time, but now it appears that it sort of definitely is Time.

We put that lively debate to bed now and move onto other things.

How do I go viral? I need 1 million Twitter followers and 2 million likes for the Facebook page. TBH (get me with the young persons abbreviations grandad (I am not yet a grandad and don't want to be just yet kids)), I would settle for a few hundred and a thousand.

Videos apparently are the thing, so I become a Vlogger not a Blogger as I am at present. What are the rules though, do I embed the Vid in here or post separately so that it can get piucked up easier without people having to wade through or ignore my ramblings? I can try both for now.

Starting a running Vid campaign then, called 'Find the mouse' or maybe 'Find some random animal or object that I will give a clue to each day'. Second one maybe not so snappy a title.

Today's Vid then sets the scene. Watch it and see if you can:

a. Identify what animal we are looking for.

b. Spot the animal.

c. Forward to all your friends so they can play the game, share the twitter and facebook pages and website and make enormouse donations. Ha ha ha, get what I did there, so corny.

It looks as if this website will only allow me to stick in a URL to a youtube video, so will post separately on Twitter. That may be good as it could drive my audience to the Twitter thing where you can follow me and share, retweet etc. It will also come through to Facebook afterwards.

So. Can you start a sentence with So? It seems to upset some people as the argument that a co-ordinating conjunction should not be positioned at the start of a sentence seems to hold sway for them, but vthere does not seem to be a hard and fast rule. It is really a substitution when it is used in this manner where it would be more correct generally to say 'As a result of', we just say 'So'. Sloppy, but quicker and this is the 23rd century. OOh, two co-ordinating conjunctions in one sentence and it was a short one, that was exciting.

Loads of waffle today isn't there.

Short ride today as a 'tick-over'. Only 20 miles gentle pootling around Lewes. Nothing of note relating to that.

As the headline says, 16 days to go and we are on the train to Penzance. Really must vstart thinking positively and worki out how we get back from John O'Groats. All the accomodation for the way up is sorted now, just a couple of checking calls to make. Nothing sorted for coming back as I doubt we will want to do the 800 odd miles back in one go in Ruth's little car loaded up with stuff (poor Carlos, he will be tired too).

Cakes being baked at present, will tweet a picture of those as well.

But the picture I had to have today is for the weather from June 7th for 5 days, Southerly winds!!!! That can stay like that until July please. Last two days riding have been with 20 and 15 mile an hour northerlies, would not want that all the way up.
