Happy Tax Day

[Lee Reep]

Boy, it's quiet in here. Everyone must be working on the ol' 1040 forms.

I wrote that big fat check this morning, stood in line at the post office (got 5 pages read on a book), and then went home, feeling drained.

There will be no purchases for awhile here. But the story has a happy ending -- I've got LOTS of old kits, numerous tubes, nose cones and miscellaneous parts that can be assembled. Plus dozens of cans of primer and paint.

Now with taxes done, time for some serious building! So what are you going to build first?

Spent yesterday trying to get shop organized. I got really tired of constantly moving piles of stuff around every time I needed a workbench or tool.

I've got a built Saturn V that has been sitting for several years waiting for a paint job. Several rockets that need repair, and beyond that -- I've got over 40 various kits. Not to mention lots of parts.

Guess I better work out a plan!

Jeez, 40 kits? Can I move in with you?

Thanks, I think, for the offer ...

If my wife knew how many kits were down there, I probably would need a roommate to share expenses ...

(I did tell her that the "sizable" collection of old Estes kits is doing extremely well -- much better than our other investments. Sadly, she will never see the proceeds -- they'll go up in smoke -- so to speak.)
