No girlfriend or wife to interfere with rockets. I win.
If you work on yourself and are good and happy, you'll have to beat them away with a stick. The right one is worth all the beans in the world. The best thing about it is no matter how crappy a day you had, there is someone waiting to listen to you talk about rockets till the sun comes up. My wife knows more about rockets than I care to think and she has not built a darn one.
I'm currently not married but I'm engaged (no date set yet) and my fiancee is cool with them and the rest of my hobbies. Likes the rockets, likes the RC boats but the RC planes and helis, not so much. She's a bit afraid of them when they're in the air flying around.
Heck, she got me the new Estes Little Joe II kit for a Valentine's Day gift. I think I'll keep her.:wink:
Congrats on your engagement. My wife did not like my helis and planes either. Shortly after we started dating I upgraded from my 450 to a 500 and she did NOT like it at all. She also didn't like my 10th scale buggy because I got a little carried away with the racing bit. If I ever want the side eye, all I have to do is mention that I am considering getting another racing buggy.
The only thing my marriages and rocketry had in common is that I cato them almost both too frequently.
I tried the whole girlfriend thing... didn't work out. Parents make dating awkward. I also have yet to find a girl who is cute, single, local, and straight. You'd be surprised how hard that is to find. But I figure I'd rather spend my time on rockets than on girls.
If she goes to bed at 9pm, I'll probably continue sanding or gluing until midnight. If she takes a shower at 9pm, it's time to quit NOW.

WELL.... now that you mention that... there is that cute girl who is on the TARC team who meets kinda close to me... but I don't have time to do TARC.... -_-Local TARC team in area ?

Enlarge the pic below and look what ad choices (below the KIA ad) came up under the "Wives" thread:

I've asked my new girlfriend to go a launch tomorrow.
She seems interested. If she goes I'll report back . . .
I'd wait till you firmly set the hook before taking her to a launch. Rocket people are weird and it might be off putting to a young lady.

Hmm... I'd make time... But you're still young. No need to get really worried until after college. The likelihood that you'll meet a nice girl at college is way better. Just don't forget to still study...

Is she that redhead...*cough*...*cough* that you put a picture up here once awhile back? If so and, i were you...I'd be all over that. Just saying-
Sage advice my green fingered friend but, the one thing you forgot to remind him about in those "College Years" is that...
:no: WRAP THAT RASCAL!:no: Dude! I mean that too!...:jaw: It may save you a lifetime of misery or misfortune. You have NO idea how many people i know that had NEVER seen the inside of courtroom and, NEVER enlisted the help of a Lawyer until "The Smart Bombs found the Target". Maybe not before the birth but, sometime in the next 21 years after.
