Finally Out Of My Rocket-Building Slump!

 Today, I happened to be hanging around in the basement La-BOR-atory and chanced to open the door of the rocket cabinet.

The hinges were kinda' creaky, and there were lots of cobwebs...

There I was confronted with the large array of rocket projects that I had started during the past few years but had lost the motivation to get them finished.

Pulling out the big mish-mash of pieces and parts, I organized them into various 'project boxes' laid out on the central shop workbench.  It is my hope that having everything out in plain sight will motivate me to get my rear in gear and get these builds completed.

So here is the roster:

A Nike Apache, Mini Honest John, Puma

Scale Viking IV, A R.V. Condor, Mercury Redstone

Artemis I, Nike Smoke, Black Hole Space Probe.


Then there are the various models still remaining in the repair queue, an ESAM-58, Solo, Quark, and the rigging on the Quest Icarus payload section. 

Lots to do!

There are a lot of creaky joints and cobwebs on this old, gray-haired rocketeer as well.

A case of Mountain Dew and quality time bustling around the workbench should help with that. 

There is a lot of blogging in my near future as I will be posting progress reports on all of this. Do stay tuned.

Cheers!
