Thank You Art.

You will be most welcome.

All work and no play, well....puts lots of money in Art's pocket. 😆

Oh yeah, I remember you! Aren't you the guy who got distracted from rocketry by a girl? I can vaguely remember your words of wisdom that rockets are "cheaper than a girl". I guess you found out huh?

Let's see now - that will be three years in back dues, plus initiation fee and a round of cold ones for everyone that remembers you. And you'll need to re-certify with NCR, starting with 1/4 A's.

Lets see, I remember him turning 18... Is Art 21 yet? I dunno if he can get served at a liquor store to buy us all beer. Ah well, he can bring me a Mountain Dew instead.

Art Hoag? Hmmmm... the astronomer who found the "Hoag Object"? Or, the one who painted my L3? And/or, that young man who helps everybody on the range and flies the coolest rockets, and in fact, did all three of the certs on his 18th birthday? Well, we'll just have to see who you are, Art, come MHM. 😉 Then again, I've been kinda scarce the last few years... who am I?

Who are you? 😉

I can remember anyone who wants to bring me beer. Don't feel too bad Art, I think we have only launched twice since September.

I am absolutely certain Art is an old friend I have not met yet. I am looking forward to it, too! Can I have a cold one also?

Once upon a time, on a launch site not too far from here, I can still remember living vicariously thru the exploits of Art. I helped provide incentive where little was needed and propellant when it couldn't be had. Lots of us did the little things to enable his quest and growth in the hobby of outlaws and radical rocketeers. I miss the good old days when toys and young men aspired to greatness. All is forgiven Art; come back to the clan of imagined greatness, no dues required.

Art, Welcome back ❗

I know how you can recover some lost weekend income.
With a small 20$ investment you could enter into the "ReLearning the Alphabet" contest. 😀

As I like to tell my boss. Work is a wonderfull thing, save some for tomorrow 😉
