New to the forum.

Just joined the discussion.
Sure y'all heard this a million times.
First did rocketry in the 60's as a wee lad.
Then put it away until I became a dad in the early 90's
Had fun with my sons and then put it away again.
Now in my 60"s I have got the urge to fly again.
Hope it is true that you are never too old.

Average age on TRF is probably 50. Welcome aboard!

Glad you're here Cowboy, and no, you are never too old!

Where in Texas are you?

Welcome to the forum. Lots of of fats into rocketry, born again and again, just like you.

Thanks for the tip. Not too far from me. I will check it out.

In case you haven't picked up on it yet, you're what's called a Born Again Rocketeer, or BAR. Since you've stopped and restarted twice you might call yourself a Born Again Born Again Rocketeer, but for two things. First, plenty of other BARs have done it twice and second, BABAR is a particular guy around here.

Where do your particular rocket interests lie?

Welcome KC ! If you do make it out to a DARS shindig be sure to wear a kilt so we can identity you.

FYI, Plano Parks and Rec has reserved a small patch of Bob Woodruff Park for model rocket launches from April to October. Get a permit here: 5901 Los Rios Blvd, Plano, TX 75074

[edit] And the correct term for your history profile is reBAR !

Thanks, I have about 8 rockets all estes form the 90" I built with my sons. Run of the mill stuff. Now that I am semi retired I want to get more into taking my time and doing a higher quality of builds. I just picked up a Estes 1/100 Saturn V and Mercury Redstone kits. Plan to take my time.
This high power and mid range stuff looks interesting but probably out of my price range. I plan on checking out the DARS and maybe get involved with some guys there

Yea thanks. I just picked up a permit from Plano this week. Plan on going out there with a few buddies to see if these old rockets will fly on Saturday to celebrate 50th anniversary. We are going to make a day of it launching, grilling, drinking and space movies. That will keep the wives away!
I was looking at attending the DARS launch in August, most definitely will wear the kilts. Hope the chiggers are not too bad!
Thanks for the warm welcome, I think i am going to like y'all

At my daughter's wedding in 2010 at Gillette Castle, CT.

Come out west to Parker County. You can be as isolated as you like, though 2 acre lots are not uncommon.
