Greetings my old TRF friends, and any new ones since I've been gone,
It's been a couple years since I've been around. I have to apologize for my sudden departure from the scene. I had a family medical issue that came up suddenly that caused me to be a caretaker and provider for two years. I had to give up Rocketry, sailing, scuba diving and my Dallas Stars season tickets. My only free time was spent on my bike and my MC Brothers. That situation has changed as of last May.
I started tinkering in the shop over the summer, but when I got an email from Estes announcing the release of the 2157 again, I immediately ordered one so I have another Saturn V now in the build pile. I'll probably buy 2 more, one to build and one to hide. And of course when I went to buy a $3.99 2016 ornament I looked at the sale items and my order grew a little. (Attached photo) I've got plenty to keep me busy and now that I have another Saturn, I'll build it with flight in mind and lessons learned from the last one I built. I also grabbed one of dlb's Sky Wolf....should arrive Wednesday.
Sam B caught me lurking last week and caught me up on the DARS launches, so with cooler weather now in Texas I can't wait to burn some motors soon! Hope everyone here has been well while I was MIA.....I sure have missed it!
