I'm not only a BAR, but a Re-BAR ... I was in rockets pretty heavy from about 1968-1973, when I was about 10-15, then took a brief 20-year sabbatical for stuff like college, women, drinking, a career, and other silly stuff like that.
I had the motive and opportunity in the summer of '94 and got back in, and actually did quite a bit of stuff, then whoomp, life changes, and I'm out again for what turns out to be 10 years.
But never completely, and finally life changes again ... I'm now in a job where I have some free time to spend (and a little bit of money too
), plus I finally now live in a HOUSE, with an actual workshop in the basement!!! ... rather than a hole-in-the-wall apartment - so building rockets suddenly became something I could do without covering my dinette table with epoxy and spray paint cans!!
Plus I now have a nephew who keeps asking, "Hey, what are these rockets at your house all about? Do they really fly?"
So I'm back, for the third time!!
