Default A visit to erockets in Dayton!

After finishing a job at the GE jet engine parts plant in Beaver Creek, OH, I checked the GPS and realized I was pretty close to erockets and I popped in.

Randy was the most gracious host! Without hesitation he showed me the entire operation and all the machinery. I don't know why, but I had always envisioned the machines (the laser cutter, especially) to be larger.

Hundreds and hundreds of kits! Tens of thousands of parts!

My sincerest thanks to Randy and crew!

I've been to Disneyworld. I'd take a trip to the dentist AND the proctologist before I'd go back.

I know what you mean! Disney is for kids. Also, a trip to the dentist and proctologist even if paid out of pocket would cost exponentially LESS than one stinkin' day at Disney.

I went to Disneyworld in Orlando with my sister in the mid 1980's and we discovered that we could've taken money out of our wallets and thrown it on the ground SLOWER that we could spend it.

It's an exaggeration of course, but only a slight one.

Well I have always wanted to go there, but I have not seen any adds for there since I was a teen in the 70's. I guess it must of really changed.

But I would still rather drop some serious coin at erockets and fill the back of my truck.
