Default Saturday or Sunday lineup

Weather permitting, it looks like I might actually get to fly this coming weekend. Tonight I took a quick inventory to see what I've got built that needs flying for review. The sadistic among you will enjoy this list.
1. Astron Raceman - My Richard Petty homage from about four years back. This one will probably be a 1/2A6-2, A8-3, B6-4 trio of motors.
2. Inflight WASP - Extremely new and one that I'm pumped about flying.
3. Semroc Centaur - I bought the 3M adhesive on Friday night, then decided to fly it as it is to get an idea if the paper is necessary.
4. Semroc Golden Scout - Unfortunately not #666.
5. Semroc Saki Bomb - Depending how much time I get to finish it.
6. Estes National Aerospace Plane - With new 24mm engine mount.
7. Sunward Galactic Wave - This time with nose weight. Last time it wiggled badly.
8. Sunward Gravity Rider - 2x18mm cluster.
9. Estes Der Red Max - Bought on Friday. Finished today.
10. PDR U.S.S. Atlantis - Final sanding and paint needed, but could fly nekkid.
11. PDR Starlab - Ditto.
12. Estes D.A.R.T. - Anyone have any calliope music I can borrow for the flying clown?
13. FSI Viking - The BMS clone of the month.
14. Estes Wildfire - Just need to stick on the decals.
15. Goonybird Missile Toe -
16. Goonybird Star Snoop -
17. Goonybird Zoom Broom -
18. Goonybird Galaxy Guppy - all 18mm clones.
19. Mega Missile Toe -
20. D.O.M. Argus II -
I'm going to be a busy boy. This isn't even all of them. I just got tired of typing. I'm pretty sure I'll pick and choose my favorites, but some of these have been around for a while.

I can't fly that. It's an icon.

Bill, I'll let you know what number I get, hopefully this week. I ordered two of them on Saturday.

How did you get any finishing done? It's been raining all weekend and the humidity has been out the roof! I figured the Cincy area was just as wet as we are.

Sprayed it between showers, then brought it in to dry. I haven't had any problems.

<snip long list>
Pictures, Bill, we need pictures. Lists are for the grocery store

That said, I do the same thing before a launch. It's a good form of stress management (not that hobbies for relaxation are supposed to cause stress ).
