Cub Scout Rocket launch is today. Young boys, summer afternoon, explosives. AAR later. Assuming I can get connectivity from the local hoosegow...
Ah. Life is good.
That is all.

Rockets? Did you say rockets? About a month or so back, I saw video of a very dedicated rocketeer build & fly a 1:10 scale, staging model of the Saturn V. Scale of 1:10 - the model was 36 *feet* tall. Estimated altitude reached was between 3000 to 4000 feet - and the complete rocket was successfully retrieved for future flight.
Dad, gun nut, motorhead, shaved-head biker with a foul mouth and a bad attitude. Living the dream in Free America after escaping the Volksrepublik of Massachusetts...
A. Somewhere between having too many to fit in one safe and Jay G. (smijer & buck)"the Virtuoso of Vitriol" (AD)"If ever there was a zombie apocalypse, I’d want Jay watching my back." (Liberty)"...totally unhinged (but in a fun way)." (Marko)"...an insane yet friendly hybrid of Dr. Evil and John Malkovich..." (Lissa)"You, my friend, have a twisted mind!" (Old NFO)"Jay is a man I trust to watch my back, but I won't trust with my daughter." (Sigboy)"...the kind of guy my mother warned me about." (Brigid)"...bouncing off the walls sounding like Gonzo on crystal meth." (MedicMatthew)"Yeah, if we ever meet, I'd like you to not be mad." (Salamander)"Jay is an absolutely wonderfully crazy gun nut. " (Top of the Chain)"Enough snide remarks to power a space shuttle" (Snarky)"American Rage Boy" (Kevin Baker)"the Northeast Gunblogger's Social Secretary" (Borepatch)"the Godfather of the Northeast Gun Blogs" (Weer'd beard)"I though you'd be angrier." (Randy)"Gun pimp" (Robb Allen)"Well, Jay's not like that; turns out he's just like he is on the internet, only more so. And life-size. And in 3D" (Tam)

Open Invitation for New Shooters
Just want to extend an open invitation to all potential new shooters in the Northern Virginia area. If you have never shot a firearm, or would like to get back into the shooting sports, or are an accomplished shooter who'd like to try something in my arsenal, give me a shout.
New shooters get range time, targets, gun use and ammo on me. I've even got extra eye and ear protection - all you have to do is show up.

Stay safe, have fun and fly high.

hehehe- gotta be fun! I remember (vaguely) doing that 40mumble years ago!
Full report - with pics! - tomorrow...
No eyes were gouged out. No one blew off any digits. We cleaned up the place even better than we found it.
A good time was had by all...
Rockets was my specialty. Gotta love things that explode and fly long distances. Hope you were able to launch and recover everything as planned.
