I sometimes get quizzed after a "conversation". I've learned to retain key words/phrases that when repeated, simulate comprehension. Later when I get called on something "important", I claim STML, due to too much fun during my youth. It all blows over soon enough. â€*

Geeeze bro, that is some bunch of rockets!!

Are you really going to fly all of them? Let me know if you do so I will not feel like a nut because I usually bring that many to our launches and someone always comments that I bring too much to fly!!

It will be nice to know that I am in good company.

I'm sure going to try to fly em all. I may scrub one or more based on the conditions or if it gets late due to a case of Painful Recovery, but I try to fly em all if I can. I'm about to start prep work in a few minutes, between loading BPs and building APs it should take most of the evening.

Then it's one after another out in the field.

WD-40? Gotta keep those rods well lubricated, they'll be smoking by the end of the day.

I took 21 of my own rockets to the SPARC launch akpilot invited me to. Didn't launch near all of them, but he said to bring "all I could..."
