    Thanks. I forgot. LM we got to put the rocket together.

    Rockets!? Does that mean fireworks????? Shoot, maybe I'll bait my wife into divorcing me by blowing in from a week on the road on Friday to head straight back on the road to Bens. I could be carting a box load of mortars and sundry items in the back of my pickup.

    Well there are two rocket scientist in the group. LM and I. We are calculating the fuel requirements for a low altitude flight. The problem is ROC(rate of combustion). Too fast it just goes boom. Just right nice controlled flight. To slow it just makes some flames on the ground. Being a safety conscious crew of engineers we are not only focusing on flight, but safety. It is our primary concern.
    Thanks.

    just make certain there is no extra insulating foam on the support struts and that the o-rings are not to brittle and you should be ok.

    We are keeping it simple. Those NASA guys over engineer and that is where a lack of communication brings failure.

    OK black hole is being explored as we speak.If something isn't mine it is being separated. Have you been studying the rate of combustion for our rocket? I expect nothing but success from our many hours of research.

    JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

    I am not sure at this point yet. LM had to work this morning, SBrown gets out at 6pm Sat, and Jerry is working today. As it is I think we are going to be at Jerry's Later Saturday. We are very flexible though. Nothing is set in stone. What works best for you?

    You do know that all you have to do is host a get-together yourself, don't you? :D

    OK this weekend was kind of a blow out. Jerry and I hung out at his place for 2 days. George was able to stop in for a bit, and as usual he had something for us to play with. One heck of a Pre. This pre has to be the best sound tube pre in Jerry's system yet.
    Well back to rescheduling.

    What do you guys think about the 29th?

    Which 29th? May 29th or beyond? I've gotta bring the love of my life (my wife, not the Polks) or she (not the Polks) may rightfully get all pissy if I were to suddenly fly off somewhere on non business related matters.
