Once again, it's time to celebrate another consecutive year of involvement in the model rocketry hobby.
I haven't exactly yet decided what I will do to mark the occasion.
Maybe go out and launch a rocket, weather permitting.
Or possibly sit down and process an order with Estes or AC Supply.
Perhaps the 'partying' will be limited to quietly immersing myself for the entire day in a rocketry build project in the basement La-BOR-atory.
Or, organize rocketry files on the PC....
....build parachutes ? ...
Maybe not that one.
....take a road trip to Colorado Springs and pop into Apogee Components for a visit.....
.....crack open the collection of massive tomes containing the 'Old Fleet Days' material and lose myself in memories....
...surf the net to catch up on all the latest forum posts, blogs, and other model rocket stuff....
...write another blog post......
The possibilities are endless.
Whichever course I choose, it might just involve a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts and a can o' Dew!
Cheers!
Happy BAR-day!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually hoping to celebrate on Saturday with a club launch, but the Prez sez there may be a large soccer tournament scheduled on the field next ours. Last time one drunk dad was among a line of cars that decided to park on our field, then complain when a rocket bounced off his car on recovery. He was all about suing until it was pointed out that he might be cited for trespassing. If we're up against that again, I'll pass.
ReplyDeleteHi, Bill,
ReplyDeleteEee-yup, there's always gotta be somebody!
Actually, I didn't touch anything rocketry related at all yesterday.
Instead, I spent most of the day doing gardening and yard work...
Yep, soccer tourney. Nope, flying rockets. Even B6-4 Field had people on it every time I went past. I did get some decent painting and decaling done, and with the next launch in early June and the weather looking like it's going to cooperate for the foreseeable future, I should have a lot of new stuff to take to the pads by then.
