I went through Abbey Road and like half the White Album.
In other news, whats up dudes?

rocketry updateI think I got a lot of rocketry out of my system.
When I tell people about it their response is usually cool and reserved, like I'm some retarded boy-man who still eats Flintstones vitamins and has velcro shoes and launches model rockets to the detriment of his social standing.
Except for the dudes in my lab, they all think its awesome. We spent a long time looking/geeking-out at the Estes catalog.
We launched the camera rocket a bunch of times. I still haven't gotten the film developed, but I hope at least one picture comes out good.
It is super fun to launch, kind of like throwing rocks into a lake or river.
If you don't understand why its fun to throw(launch) rocks(rockets) in water(air) then maybe we shouldn't hang out.
I ending up buying another one to build, just so I could up my balsa wood & decal cred.
Three stages of raw Made In China power, this bastard goes half a mile - straight up your ASS

rocketryAt some point in 2007 I decided I wanted to become a hobbyist.
Ships in a bottle and model making are way out of my patience/attention span. RC stuff is cool too, I even had a business idea based on RC helicopters once, but thats too much money and time.
So I settled on model rocketry.
Its so wholesome and evokes such a naive dorky wonderment that its like being a kid again.
The rocket kits are so sandlot. I remember putting them together as a kid: the balsa wood and glue and putting the body tube in a door frame to get a straight line to put the fins on.
So I walked into a hobby shop yesterday and asked for "the rocket with the camera." Now they have a digital version, but I opted for the film one just to keep the feeling authentic. (The film included had a 'process by' date of 2006)
After the guy got if off the shelf I realized it was a ready-to-fly rocket . On one had that kinda sucks because I wanted to glue it together and put the decals on and stuff, but on the other hand that baby is ready to fly right now. The launcher stand and dorky launcher battery pack were also included.
So basically what I'm saying is that on Monday at high noon, that fucker is flying high. The package says 250 ft high.
Theres a little old abandoned air strip across the street from our facility so I figure we can go over there.
This will be the theme song:
Its possible that none of the pictures come out but it should be fun anyways. I bought extra engines and I'm going to keep launching it until ite breaks.

I'm part of the nerd club too!
I have built and launched many a model rocket. I once had some guy threaten to call the cops on me for shooting them off! And yeah, pre-made rockets are totally lame. Although, did any of you guys have rockets that actually survived a launch? Many of mine were destroyed in flight!

haha... I so shouldn't admit this, but that post brings back memories. I was in the Rocket Club in grade school. It was totally fun. My favorite was one with this wing that swivelled out so it glided down instead of using the little parachute... and a space shuttle one...
mm. yeah. And pre-built is totally cheating.
Go nerds! :)
we should talk helicopters sometime. ;)

You are only the second person in the world (apart from yours truly, that is) that I know, who pays personal memory-laden tributes to T-shirts/Clothes that passed on or parted seams in the line of duty and fire.
I salute these three little bearers of the torch of the free spirit and the perfume of mangroves.
