:roll: I just about sprayed coffee all over the screen...

You've calculated the specific impulse of a shaken Pepsi.

Extra credit if you did both diet and regular.

Extra extra credit if you did:

Can (level 1)

Bottle (level 2)

2 liter (Dude, watch this!)

While enjoying a nice cruise or ride in the country, for every open field you pass you determine what motors you could launch there, wonder who owns it, and make a mental note to check it out.......but never do.

You invite your best friend and his kids to a Launch....not to get them interested in Rocketry, but because you want a retrieval team.

Also guilty, but my best friend is the retrieval team.

Or even deeply inhale at the end of a tube like a bong. (... I have seen this :eyepop: )

You notice every cone shaped object.

You sometimes feel the impulse to inspect dumpsters for discarded tubes.

Your 3-year old daughter already knows that you launch on Saturdays.
- Mine will actually remind me that it's not "rocket time".

Always.

You might be a rocket geek if...

-instead of icicle lights hanging off the gutters, you have nose cone lights.
- there are nose cones hanging on your Christmas tree.
-your Christmas tree stand is also your launch pad.
-the Christmas village on the mantle is a miniature version of LDRS
-youre Christmas cards say,"have a smokey sam Christmas!"
-you stare at your Christmas three trying to figure out how to put a 98mmt in it
-you figure out how to put a 98mmt in your Christmas three

when i lived in northern Michigan i would do that!!
i still do it when i venture up that way and measure field size by possible waiver

You have too many techie interests but you keep coming back to rocketry just to get your fix of BP, AP and prangs.

When you're more interested in building rockets than talking to girls

When all of your spending cash goes to "Your Next Project"

When your dad gives you full rule of the workshed cuz he says you need it more than him
