I finally finished grain filling, sanding, and prepping these two Nike rockets for primer.
This has been a long time coming.
Now, all I have to wait for is a relatively windless day to get them outside with the rattle cans.
Perhaps I will get some rockets completed this year, after all.
The very day after my last post, Castle Rock and Douglas County went right back to the burn ban restrictions.
There hasn't been a drop of rain in the past week and the wind has been at a high level every single day. The area is a virtual tinder-box!
Add to that the smoke plumes from a large wildfire on the Colorado/Utah border blowing straight into the Colorado Front Range, making it unhealthy to be outside for any length of time.
Interestingly, there was a story on local news this morning about a nearby wildfire that was started by lightning - on a golf course!!
I would have thought that a well- manicured and irrigated place like that would be immune to fires.
Guess not...
Anyway, the model rocket flying drought drags on as well.
