A Quick Post For The Blog.

 Hi, All,

I haven't gone away from the BlastFromThePast blog, I'm only on a hiatus.

Fire burn bans have finally been lifted here in Castle Rock and Douglas County, but now the problem is that there hasn't been much in the way of decent flying weather sans brisk windy conditions.

With the continued drought and the increase in warmer summer temperatures, I'm sure it won't be long until we're back on burn bans.

The outlook for a Front Range group launch seems bleak at the moment, but I am on the eagle-eye lookout for a day when weather might be favorable to do a launch excursion.

The good news is that all the weather models I have been reading speak of an El Nino weather pattern developing in the Pacific.  This (hopefully) will serve to bring substantial amounts of moisture to Colorado beginning in late summer and extending through the fall and winter months.

We'll have to wait and see.

I also haven't much to report on rocket building activity.  I have a couple birds on the bench close to be ready for shooting primer but just haven't spent much time with getting them finished.

Jeez! I thought when I retired there would be much more time available for rocket building.

(Cue game show buzzer sound)

Family activity, yard work, honey-do projects, and music writing have been taking up a large chunk of my time.

Anyway, I just wanted to jump on the blog here and let you all know that things will get cranked up again in the near future.

Thanks for reading.  Keep 'em flying!

-Ed
