Doh, and I even watched that just a couple weeks ago...Seawater was the Triffids' achilles heel.
Day Of The Triffids (1962).
Bought a Cricut off Offerup.
The gas people were supposed to inspect our meter and scheduled visits. 3 times, they claimed to have been here when we were actually in the house, but they claimed we weren't. The fourth time, we had a sign up asking the guy to make lots of noise, but he didn't have to.Sat here all day waiting for a motor delivery (signature required). Fedex shows up and parks in the street. No driver emerges. 3 minutes later, drove away. I tried to catch him in the car, but he gone.
End of the day, update says..."Tried to deliver, nobody home." I WAS SITTING HERE ALL DAY!
Not Happy. I even thought, I should walk out to the delivery van...in retrospect I should have.....
Grrrrrrr.
I recently had a package with motor related stuff in it sent from California. Tracking showed it arriving at one post office, being sent to another, and then back. Rinse and repeat. Eventually, they got it to New Jersey (other side of continent). Then they sent it back to one of the post offices in California, to the other one, and then back to the sender. It turned out nothing was wrong with it, so it went back in the system and eventually showed up at our door, nearly a month after it was first sent. Long enough for me to order and receive a replacement.I can soooo relate. Just purchased a high flow NOS Pro-Big Shot solenoid valve from the US via Ebay using their international shipping Pitney Bowes service (no option alas). About 3-4 days to make it from Bowling Green Kentucky to an international flight. Another 3 or so weeks to make it from there to me. Painful.

It just seems to be the norm for any orders from the USofA to me here in Brisbane - 3 to 5 days to travel from vendor in rural USA to either SYD or BNE airports and then 2 weeks to get to my front door.I can soooo relate.

@teepot I dont know if you have left yet but as a heads up there is standing water all across the lake bed.I didn't go to the launch today. Forecast was for steady rain. I'm going there Saturday. Scattered showers. Today I've been getting my stuff together and got two Av Bays set up. Loaded the truck. I'm taking the Pringles rocket, the Chicken rocket, the Priority Mail rocket, the Tarantula rocket also some regular rockets. I'm taking a night flyer incase I can fly it.
Try a nib file.Later on, I'll be taking some 220 grit sandpaper to the payload tube of my 5.5" LOC Bullet. When I did the heavy coat of clear, I went a tad too heavy and created runs, so I'll be sanding those down flush and as soon as I'm able to, I will do one last light coat of clear.
Any opportunities to modify to beef it up?I asked Tom Van Milligan yesterday what he thought about the new Estes launch pad. He hasn’t seen it yet. Today I discovered our sponsor bought one. The metal is more impressive than the catalog photo but the plastic parts not so much.
