Don't forget the toothbrush :D

[sandman]

I may have to put the Golden Scouts and my toothbrush in my glove compartment.

I guess I can leave my gloves home. :rolleyes:

You know, in my 45+ years of memories of riding in and driving cars, I can't remember one time that I've ever seen gloves in a glove compartment.

Why do I get this mental image of Gordy pulling up with a pair of golden scouts epoxied to his hood like little hood ornaments... :)

I hope everyone going has a great time. I had planned to be there but my most recent surgery (last Friday) prevents me from attending. With luck I have but one more surgery to go and I'll be free to rejoin the real world.

There are quite a few, here, that know abiut majr surgery, so we can empathize with you. What is need is for you to take care and you will be back before you know it.

well, I suppose it may be that I've never been to the northern climes in winter, when gloves are much more likely to be used.

Thanks, RD.

What is need is for you to take care and you will be back before you know it.Fortunately it's not so much major surgery as it is a major pain in the butt to wait out each procedure. The good news is that when it's all over a long standing problem with one of my kidneys will be corrected. Being pain free for the first time in over 2 decades is worth the discomfort that I'm currently going through.

I'm sure that's true, Mario. Best of luck with the procedure(s), and have a speedy and uneventful recovery!

One good thing about not going to NARAM is it gives me the time to work on a build article that is really cool - you guys will like it. Someone punch a hole in the sky for me.

[Phred]

Sorry to hear you will not be able to make NARAM Mario.
I hope you are feeling better soon.

I have packed my rockets and repacked them for two weeks now... there always seem to be a few more!!

My Wife and I are going to a Wedding in Maryland on Sat night, NARAM Sun night, Monday and Tuesday, then on to Virginia Beach. We will be driving our Mini Cooper. Space is an issue not because of the Mini.... but because my wife will be along!!

When I go to NEMROC in Massachusetts by myself, I am able to bring almost 100 rockets, plus the laptop, decal printer and supplies, plus a cooler.

Fitting wedding clothes and a week of vacation clothes for both of us, plus rockets will not be easy.

For NARAM I am bringing 36 rockets, and minimal launch supplies. 35 of the rockets are vintage, and were built 'back in the old days' . The last is my vintage, original MMI Arcon I just built and will bring to fly. These are not shelf queens: I plan on flying as many as possible in the two days I am there.

Well, The rockets are almost ready to go... I have to empty my small flight box, then refill it with all I need, and get rid of the junk. Then I will be ready to put the rockets in the car.

Next will be decals. I am still printing like crazy, trying to guess who will buy what.....

Yes Gord, I have already put a chair in the car!! Thanks again for letting me hang with you!!

~ ALWhich G20?

That should be one of the highest altitudes of the week, since that is just under the 4500' waiver for high power!

[Green Dragon]

That should be one of the highest altitudes or the week, since that is just under the 4500' waiver for high power!

Anything that gets more hobby rocketry content into LAUNCH is a good thing.
