No, I don’t know. I started to look at the schedules and gave up.
I see why Ken gave up. I've just been on lwysa.org as well as a couple of Crossfire soccer sites and schedule sharing is not their strong suit. That said, it doesn't look like the big events start until the second week of June.
Ken and I did encounter some after-school tryouts last Wednesday, I think it was, but once they were done, the fields were free again and at least three different tARC groups put in practice flights.
Have fun Friday, Ken. BEMRC will be flying at the Raceway on Saturday and the biggest hazard is likely to be warm (from a Seattle perspective) temperatures.

Wow, what a great day at 60 Acres! The wind behaved and the sun was great and @Joel Shepherd and I had a great time. Here’s a teaser shot of Big Mamma on 3 29 mm engines.

A bunch of photos from last Friday with @Joel Shepherd: https://photos.app.goo.gl/4qan6tYzCbwWhuC46
And I plan to do it again this coming Friday, whether permitting, and or Sunday, soccer permitting.

I will likely be out with Ingraham Rocketry midday Sunday, soccer permitting. I will likely fly a Last Of Its Kind motor, a 29mm CTI G250. 110 Ns in less than half a second burn time.
if I knew for sure there was no soccer on Sunday, I wouldn't bother with Friday. Oh heck, I'll probably do both...
Have fun guys. Hopefully by Sunday Avis and I will be relaxing after the tARC finals and maybe doing the usual Udvar-Hazy prowl.
@Neutronium lives nearby. We need him to drive over and look.
Vroom vroom
Update: the weather on Friday looks less good than the weather tomorrow (Wednesday). I have a doc appointment at noon so I could be at 60 acres by two and that is the plan. Subday depends on soccer.
Perfect day! (knock on balsa) I'm looking at about 1:30 this afternoon (Wednesday).

Guilty as charged.
Awesome ! I still have a 24mm CTI F240 3G VMAX motor
Today was good, the winds were highly variable though. No high flights.
Despite today’s crap, tomorrow is looking decent, though you can expect the grass to be damp.
Maybe @Neutronium knows a guy who knows a guy who can drive by 60 Acres and see whether the soccer teams are occupying the fields. But I’m going to assume that we can launch.
I plan to be there sometime between 11:30 and 12:30, earlier if I can (big if). If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll keep you informed.
As an incentive, for those of you who like a good CATO…I’ve put 3 (count ‘em, three) of the high risk D12-3 engines into a cluster and we’ll see what happens, perhaps, when 3 D engines CATO at once. Bwahahaha!
See you, I hope, on Sunday!

Bravo!
I'll swing by around 10:15; if there's anything happening on our field I'll ping you.
Thank you. Much appreciated
Good Day Rocketeers! (actually, it’s a sucky day, weather wise). This weekend is Memorial Day – 4 days of forgetting why we celebrate it, and it looks like 4 days of less than wonderful weather.
Right now Monday the 27th looks the least bad. I’m going to aim for then, but, seeing as it’s Memorial day, well, let me know if you think you might make it, but if you’d rather be home grilling brats and drinking beer, hey, I understand! Hmm, maybe we can do both. Let me know if you’d like to shoot off some rockets then come to my place for brats or whatever.
I’ll be out of town for at least May 29th through June 2nd, so that weekend is shot. On June 8th I’m planning to go to the pinball event down in Tacoma Ihttps://www.nwpinballshow.com/) , so the next likely launch date is June 9th. Although if the weather is sucky enough on the 27th, maybe I’ll launch on the 28th instead.
Stay tuned!

We are thinking about it. The forecast for Monday actually looks pretty good at the moment.
I have one of those Starlight Mini "flight computers" that will need to be test flown a few times. I should also get the Citation Patriot out given the day.
We shall see....

I'm making it official:
You’re all invited! After we launch at 60 Acres, gather at my house and I’ll fire up the grill. I’ll supply various traditional grilling items (burgers, brats, dogs, buns and the fixings) and you provide everything else. I’ll also have various beverages, but you’re welcome to bring your own faves. If you have any particular food requirements, please let me know, we can accommodate vegetarians, but vegans are advised to stay away, or they may end up on the grill.
RSVP required, because I need some idea of how many will be showing up.
See you Monday!
Ken
PS Once you RSVP I’ll send you my address and the secret decoder ring you’ll need to find our house. RSVP here, by PM, email, text or phone.

Thank you! We have other plans with family, friends, and Folklife though.
