    Tour De Deuce Project

    The rockets arrived safely yesterday. Now we just need a good launch day & we're in business!!! This morning would have been perfect if I could have been ready. No wind, about 15* below 0, & clear skies. By the way, who's gonna be next??? I don't want to send these things back to Jason...

    *cold*

    I'll check it out & see how she's doing Jim, but I'll need a name. you guys enjoy the cold. Haven't checked the temp this morning, but all the snow is gone off the roofs & I hear the residual dripping off the eaves. It was 38* above at 10:15 last night. Quite a change in 3 or 4 days.

    *cold*

    Ok Jim, I've got it straight now. I remembered you telling me last year that she had a place in Soldotna, but I didn't realize she had "Dual residency". Do you know if she's doing the Tustemena 200 next week? Give me her name & I'll watch for her.

    *cold*

    hey Jim. I'm down in Kenai where your sister used to be if I remember correctly. Our weather's been up & down this year. A few mornings ago it was -22*, & the day before around -15*, this morning it was +32*. go figure. Still haven't heard back from Jason.

    *cold*

    C'mon Jim, I was out launching at around -20* last year, & I see you telling Mrs.Bowhunter that it's to cold to launch!! It was right at -20* here this morn(all the way up to +5 now). Just a normal mid-winter day!. I hope to be getting the Dueces for the tour soon(waiting to hear back from...

    Battlestar Galactica Series

    I have to agree they're overdoing the sex part. I want my 9 & 11 yr ol daughters to be able to watch it with me. Somebody clue me in. I had to tape it, & on the "Water" episode, my machine went to about 10 minutes that looked like it was in pause mode(even though the tape counter is going &...

    One more BP Thread...

    Al if at all possible I'd say go with the real stuff. It will probably only be $10.00-$14.00 per pound when you find it. Any large sporting goods shop should be able to point you in the right direction to find some. If not & you are in an experimenting mood, you could try "Pyrodex" powder...

    Beta Testers Wanted!

    I'm with Eugeno on the instructions. I used to be an aircraft mechanic & spent 95% of my time working on helicopters(all civilian) including component overhaul. One thing you learn in that industry is following the instructions by the letter in exact sequence even if it's the 50th time...

    Why should I join the NAR?

    Well as a low power kind of a guy with no aspirations beyond mid power, I have to admit I'm kinda with Silverleaf. Now, that said I guess I'm joining anyway. It just seems strange that the national trapping, firearms, handgun, & archery orginizations or assosiations I've belonged to or...

    How far do you have to drive!

    I have a hobby shop about 15 min away that carries probably 6 Estes kits at a time, a few motors(overpriced), no parts, & has no interest. There is a craft/ variety store across from the hobby shop that carries a fair amount of Estes stuff & a little better prices on motors. Total display area...

    Why should I join the NAR?

    First off let me say I'm playing the devil's advocate here(is a pastor supposed to do that?). I will be joining the NAR in the next couple of days. I know I get a magazine, & that's cool. I get insurance that as I understand it no one has ever filed a claim against. Means I probably won't...

    The SuperBowl half-time show

    Guess I better get mt $.02 in & beat the dead horse. I didn't watch the half time show, so I won't comment on the music quality(or lack there of), just on the Jackson thing. I saw a replay on a news program, & to me it appeared to be very intentional. I'd say the pastie backs that up(as...

    Cellulose Wadding Question?

    It's all I use in anything from our smallest up to largest(Super Big Bertha). Have had one singed chute on a rocket my 10 yr old daughter prepped with out help, so I'm not thinking that was neccessacarily(sp) an equipment failure.;) That's out of a lot of flights. It's the only way to go...

    Pics from the kid's projects

    I noticed the "Hoosier" in the background. You have time to build rockets, be a scout leader, & race stock(or sprint)cars? Nice rockets, & looks like a good project. I like the "cheer" box.

    Ebay user name change??

    I haven't replied at all. Here's a part of their letter. "eBay is constantly working to provide a safer and easier trading experience for our members. In our ongoing efforts to prevent unsolicited and possibly fraudulent email, we have decided to allow only User IDs that do not include an...
