Dan

Just found out this morning that a good buddy of mine, Dan… passed away of an apparent heart attack last night.
I don't know what to say.
He called me at 5:25pm and we talked for only a few seconds.  He was just verifying that I would be at his house at 6 am this morning to pick him up to take him to the train station.  Right after I got off the phone with him I passed him up on the road.  Didn't realize that it would be the last time I would see him. 

At 5:55pm, he was gone and I miss him now.

Yuck

So there I am painting the bathroom and I thought the color of the paint was kind of odd. Hmmph I thought, maybe I just have to let it dry. After I finished painting the bathroom, which didn't take long at all, I looked at the can of paint. It seems that the color that Home Depot mixed up for me was wrong. They did a darker color than what I had picked out, but I didn't catch it.
So what does it look like? I did the sponging technique, and the color... lets just pretend that I had a full diaper that I swung at a high revolution ... and then just let go. Yuck. I'm not laughing now, but I will be later.

Psalm 119:7

I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.”- Psalm 119:7

Shiloh

Snagged a picture from a video of Shiloh going up on an experimental propellant that burns blue flames. The video was pretty bad, so this is the best pic that I could get.

Sugar

I'm wondering if I can upload videos, so this video of my attempt at a sugar motor this past weekend is my test. Enjoy!

Vinny

This is my rocket launching buddy, Vinny. He is now living in Brazil. Hopefully I'll get to see him in October.

Amraam

Can't remember what I launched it on, but it was a perfect flight.

Thunder Pickle

Launched with 38mm G-61 White Smoke reload. I love those 38-120 motors.

Verse of the day

“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.”- Colossians 2:9-10

Froggy

Here is a shot of Froggy going up on an H-97 at the Fourth of July demonstration.

NERRF

I should post a PIC from my trip to New York a few weeks ago to attend NERRF.

This one is Endeavor going up on a homemade J motor with a blue flame formula. The motor burned nicely with a great roar, unfortunately the electronics failed me and it came down pretty hard. The main chute opened at 500 feet, but the rocket was traveling soo fast that it has pretty much severely damaged it. I can fix it but it will take a while, I have other things on my plate.

Once again

Once again I forgot my logon credentials and it has taken me until now to figure it out. Actually I also have been putting off posting on this blog. Why??? Just life... been pretty busy.

I did a launch this past weekend... someone kindly caught a picture of my Grappler going up on an E-18. Unfortunately, the fins were not very strong as I expected they wouldn't be and they broke off.

How embarrasing. I actually forgot my login credentials for Blogger. In other words, I couldn't post.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter. I'm the only one who reads this which is cool because I don't write or jot these random thoughts for anyone but myself.

Well, its the first post of the new year. Happy New Year to Me.
