(Sorry, with my body not knowing what day it is, I skipped over Saturday.) A great sleep for me!and I needed it. A clear cool morning and the coffee tastes great! It's an 80% GO for launch sunday am. The temp warms a little..62 & we go out for a nice 14 mile ride and find some interesting places..a salt lake wildlife mgmt area with a bike trail and pretty nice, until high water turns us back. We return to camp, shower & head for Cocoa Beach, looking for Major A. Nelson. On our way south, we stop at the Moonlight Diner for a couple of burgers..good, but not Tasty Burger Good! On south on A1A toward Port Canaveral, where some huge cruise ships are docked and getting ready to head out. Into Cocoa Beach and guess what? A Dairy Queen! It is very crowded at this beach area & difficult to get to the beach, but we manage to find a public spot and take a few pics. Kinda reminds me of Myrtle Beach, but it is chilly. Now we head back up 95 to camp & get our "tailgating" stuff for the launch tonight. We decide to go back to Paul's Seafood, have dinner & stay is their lot to watch the event. Dinner was good! I had the seafood platter & the scallops were FAB! KK had the broiled shrimp & scarfed 'em down. Now we have to leave the lot & come back at 1 am, pay $10 and then sleep until 4:00 . We do get to use the restroom in the joint so that makes it ok, and with around 200 autos in the lot, somebody is doing ok. We just love helping out the economy! It's pretty chilly out-about 45-so we are bundled up & sit on the beach as the countdown continues, but at T minus 8 minutes, NASA scrubs the launch..too many clouds in the area, so back to camp we go..see tomorrow, when ever that is.
