Wow, can't believe you guys have managed to put up with me for 5K posts. I read back through some of my older threads... Gawd, I was an idiot...
I have learned so much from you guys on here. I have also spent God-knows-how-much money on here. I searched my username in the yard sale forum... Sheesh... I bought a lot of stuff. Also, can't believe how much stuff you guys have given me on here.
I cannot even start to list the number of "Pay it Forward" threads on here that have ended me up with a kewl thing....
3stoogesrocketry actually gave me a full 38-480 Loki case and nozzle, and a full 29/40-120 motor.
Jimzcatz gave me an I357 for my darkstar jr. (He offered me a J825, but I decided not to fly it as I would probably lose it. He also gave me a Pro29-4G motor for retrieving one of his rockets)
bottscott08 is donating a 5 yards of CF and a vacuum bagging system to my robotics team, and also giving me a Madcow arcas that he crashed.
Ted Chernok gave me a free 20 foot sewn shock cord.
Tfish gave me a nose cone mold and some carbon fiber.
Jarhead gave me some pneumatic plugs.
Crazy jim offered me a half price deal on his ematches if I retrieve his and Don Ball's rockets, and clean their motor cases.
Papa Seagull gave me some epoxy to fix a nose cone.
Dixontj90360 gave me a free crayon kit.
Yoehahn gave me a free Pro29 3G case and closure.
I think troj has given me some magazines.
I probably forgot some people....
However, another reason I love this group is it is my only social life. I have a hard time interacting with other kids. Whenever kids are paired up with me, it is an "Oh Great, Matt again" reaction. You guys never do that on here. You will criticize, joke, poke some fun, but in the end I know I am learning. I have been on this forum since March of 2012... Hard to believe it has been over 2 years since I joined. I still remember my first rocket idea was a 4 inch Nike Smoke on a cluster of BP and AP motors... not to mention the K875 two stager, the 8 inch fat boy, the 2 stage HPR rocket... The list goes on and on. If I hadn't joined here, I never would have been to SC, probably would have made many stupid decisions, would have spent a lot more money (actually, I probably could debate this one), and SOO much more.
I never would have learned of the H410, never would have heard of Loki research, never would have seen the debate over cato v CATO, never would have learned about EX, would have about 1/4 of the emails in my inbox, would still have friends, etc...
Not to mention, Hannah will be joining the forum soon... She wants to start getting involved in rockets. :neener:
Thanks, and See you at 10K!!!
