    What do you do (or did) for a living?

    I miss Kentucky and TN. Always wanted to move back but with my shrinking reserve of years I don't think it will happen.

    Name and link for "Rod Stops"...

    Now that is a great idea! Time to break out the Manfrotto to make ignitor clips easier to attach.

    Name and link for "Rod Stops"...

    *FLASHBACK* One of these came with the Centuri Screaming Eagle starter kit! I'd forgotten all about it. Was very handy, but it did corrode quickly.

    Lpr , but a heads up!

    What samb said: Yesterday at 1:52 PM "Honestly at this point everybody's mileage varies. I fly alot of E12s with no problems so far. I also flew and loved the late lamented E9s which were discontinued. No one knows what tomorrow will bring. ;) Definitely try Quest motors 'cause Quest motors are...

    A cool article on the nuclear Strong force

    Photons are not just the tiny sliver of visible light (300-700nm), the entire EM spectrum is photons. Radio, microwaves, X-Rays, gamma rays, infrared etc... etc... It is all quite fascinating.

    Lpr , but a heads up!

    We do to, love the D12-3's. But in all these years we've only had two CATOs. Now the dreaded E12 is another story, we don't even bother flying them any longer.

    Movies that scared the crap out of you?

    There has been only one movie that has "scared/disturbed" me since I was 5 or 6yo. Now, I take pride in the fact that monster/horror/scary movies really aren't scary for me. Alien is the gold standard by which horror movies should be judged, but I wasn't scared. Mainly enthralled... Jump scares...

    (looks around) I've decided the present pretty much sucks. Time to hide in vintage sci-fi movies!

    I LOVE this movie! Have it on DVD because it is so hard to find. Amazing how a rescue flight to Mars just happens to drag along, M1 Garand's, 1911's, hand grenades, sleep bombs and a BAZOOKA??? Which, as JackC pointed out, they shoot their weapons, throw grenades and fire said Bazooka INSIDE the...

    Horribleness, or suckage, is in the eye of the beholder. Robot Monster is a low budget laugh fest but I enjoy it. Invisible Invaders with John Agar, zero budget but I like it, Queen of Blood, Planet of the Vampires, I Married a Monster from Outer Space, Angry Red Planet, Man from Planet X...
