    Got a new puppy!

    I've never developed a taste for it. I had a friend in college who had a parakeet named Phlegm. I slept on the floor of his room once after a party (bird seed pillow.) When I woke up the next morning, it was because I had the impression of something passing my face quickly. I opened my eyes...

    Estes Mini Brute Star Blazer cockpit scan

    Does anyone have one or know of one online? I'm finished with my BT-55 upscale except for the cockpit and want to try my hand at upscaling the original.

    Recreate Estes MX Missile??

    I picked up a couple of the nose cones in a late-night buy-it-now frenzy. I bought an Estes Freefall from eRockets and had the basic rocket flyable within a couple of hours. I had a clear fin can that came with the Estes Beta Launch Vehicle, but I wanted to keep that for an Estes Thor-Agena B...

    I tried the peas, but it was overkill. I didn't even take the hopped up Tylenol they prescribed for me. I wasn't going to go out and practice kicking field goals, but my pain was minimal. My doc didn't have a sense of humor, but he apparently knew his business.

    I worked in one for a year in college. I went from a Godfather's pizza, which I thought was one of the cleanest restaurants I'd ever seen, to a Long John Silver's, which was just vile. I still have grease trap nightmares.

    You might be a child in the 70s if:

    It stopped here, and all I remember is Bob Lanier's shoe. And that we got to eat at Buster T Brown's after the tour. All in all, the dinner was a much bigger deal than the Bicentennial Train.

    Yeah, I might.

    I was sitting in the chair with Quadrophenia cranked on my CD Walkman :-) and my eyes closed. The doctor tapped me on the knee and when I took my headphones off, he asked "Am I hurting you?" I didn't know what he was talking about and he pointed to my legs, which were sticking straight out of...

    I didn't think the vasectomy was terrible, especially considering what I'd been told to expect. No worse than any other foul tip I'd ever taken off the sack. I was told to bring headphones to lessen the chance of hearing the surgical snipping and sawing, and not to breathe through my nose so I...

    Freshly decaled. It's been flown, but not in full livery.

    No different than French dressing. I've seen that since I was a kid. Not my thing, but.....

    Built my first alpha in 1977

    I got my first one with a launch set for my birthday that year. Built it Friday, painted it Saturday and lost it on a C6-5 flight on Sunday. It floated off into a forested area on the NKU campus. Several years later when I went to school there they turned that area into a parking lot. I...

    What did you do rocket wise today?

    Ugh! Finished sanding the TLP Exocet MM.40. At least for the first round. It got a coat of primer after sanding, so with decent weather today, I should get the primer sanded and any touch ups needed before the color coats. Wow. Looking forward to having this one finished.

    Microwaves were new to me back in 1981, so when I was told to cook some bacon in the microwave for a pizza one of my coworkers was making, I took a china plate, stacked some shredded bacon on itr, and set it for ten minutes. Several minutes into the cooking cycle there was a big bang. People...
