Dammit, I promised myself no new kits until I get through at least a few more of my big ones. Time to plan out how to sneak even more stuff past the wife.

Ryan? This what you do...

You *arrange* to be at a launch that Tim will be at.
You tell the wife that they are having a really great raffle at the event!
You ask for a dollar...a humble little dollar.
Later that day, Tim announces your name over the PA.

Your Rocketry friends and, peers stand in AWE :y: as you collect on the "Grand Prize"...
You tell everyone- "I've NEVER won ANYTHING in my life!"

If you play your cards right, your wife will not mind the slightly more cramped space on the way home...

She's married to the luckiest man in the world! :blush: You my friend are a GOD! (At least until you break the threshold of your home...then your on your own.)

Gus, clearly you are not married. Space is only one aspect of "getting it past." The other, even more important item, is somehow "whiting out" the line item on the credit card bill.

Dixon,
I know a guy who can take off problem #2 with a swift computer hack.
I know a guy that can solve problem #1, but... He's pretty sketchy and I'm a little afraid of him...

troj said:

Gus 'ol buddy! You want hints? I'd be happy to help you on that!

There will be long skinny cylinders, with holes in the end. There will be pointy things. There will be highly flammable substances. There will even be things with wires involved.

Something I could use for my L2 would be great.

troj said:

Something else....something I just learned of today....something I don't recall ever setting up in one of these sales before. Something that is a bit....moving.

Also something old that's turned into something new with the addition of something that's definitely not blue!

Every year my good buddy Gus wants info. Every year, I give him info. It's just a matter of how helpful that info is.

Oh, and for the record, I have 9 emails from Tim & Jackie today....

9 emails ???
How's that possible when I've been on the phone with Tim for an hour yesterday
and almost as long today jiving out harness specifics for individual rocket offerings...
You must be getting the emails from the better half...lol...

I predict a new rocket line called the Tim line. The Ultimate Tim is essentially an Ultimate Wildman with nose cone replaced by a full scale urethane cast of Tim's head. The Extreme Tim has the head cone scaled to a four inch body...

Estes already has that kit - it's called the Chrome Dome......
