Finished building my friend's Apogee Aspire - we hope it will top 1 mile in altitude.
Painted the undercoat on my first scratchbuild - a two-stager
Attached the parachutes to my first cluster - the Quest Magnum Sport Loader
Filled my new external battery with acid and took it to be charged
Built the external battery connector for my launch controller
Bought a spare, 4-foot-long 1/8 inch steel rod
Sawed off a length of PVC to transport my launch rods
Checked the weather and park schedule - this is all in prep for a big launch on Thursday. We name our launches (because they're Facebook events). When my friend (the only person I know who's into rockets) could not come to our October 4 Sputnik/October Sky themed launch, I said, "No worries. Come back for Spooknik!"
One of my non-rocket friends said my last few launches lacked "spectacle." I don't think that will be a problem this time. Besides, I've said that anybody who comes in costume can press the launch button.
