ohhhhhh crap

Thanks Mike but the trailer won’t be needed. September launch was good but proved the prairie is too dry – the risk too great – for us to host Oktoberfest this year. I’m really surprized we got the go for…   Read more»

Hi Joe. Good to have a chance to fly again. I can get the trailer both ways. 😀

Big bummer but Expected. Our drought continues according to the climate change scenarios as global forecastors and local weather modeling indicates. Time to break out the dancing shoes, again, and gyrate for abundant moisture.

Damn, I am getting old……

Actually, Fonzi’s was a four grain case and hardware – short two grains means smaller expense but still out of pocket. I possibly have a 6 to loan.

Thanks for the tip. Wow! actually, possibly, breaking even on a rocketry launch! ! ! ! I thought that was against some law of finance or physics!-Sean

Fonzie had a 6 or 6xl down at NSL last weekend for sale. Joe should know how to get in touch with him. He did not sell it. After your launch you could list it on TRF. You might break…   Read more»

Ok Jack – you win. Yes, blue storage container is unlocked. Grab ALL of the fire extinguishers, four tables (two folded in half) and the ladder if it all fits in your truck and bring the stuff to the North…   Read more»
