For my part, I’m going to be away on VACATION from October 2-7… if O’Fest gets cancelled, I will stay out on the road until the 9th. As such, I selfishly hope the call is made more than the day… Read more»

I can’t change the weather but I am doing the rain dance regularly. Boulder County is imposing a Fire Ban and I suspect other counties will follow suit. Admittedly, the whole state is rather beyond dry and tinder.Eurythmy for rain!

Today Larimer County issued a fire ban in effect until November 1st. Both sites are in Weld County, but I can imagine that something similar will come soon :(Edward

or two than to lose our site.Everyone’s pucker factor is a bit high with the Four Mile Fire and the new one west of Loveland.I think this was the right choice. I would have loved to launch, but am patient… Read more»

An eye on the weather conditions for our area and common sense will tell us if we can schedule a launch for Ocktoberfest. I think we will know, when in reasonable and in a timely manner, if conditions are safe…. Read more»

The new fire is about 10-12 miles “as the rocket flies” from our home. It was *very* near Eric Krug’s house… Eric is a past Prefect for the legacy club, Tripoli Rocky Mountains. It started about a mile up the… Read more»

The NCR Command made the right decision! A model rocket caused a six acre fire in Arvada today… still burning.

Yeah, JW, been thinking about you and wondering if you’re safe. Due to Boulder and now Loveland, the decision was beyond wise. Hate to be responsible for burning someone’s ranch (or more) to the ground, not to mention livestock. What… Read more»

The logomatic is a neat device, I haven’t used that specifically, but have used Arduino and similar controllers. You might have already found this out, but you almost certainly won’t need an amplifier to read the load cell output with… Read more»
