You recognize the background image from my last post...

You have never studied for the TMP test and got a 100 on the practice test.
And if you have many pictures that look like this:

(My dad took this photo...)

If your mom or wife ever put away groceries telling you "not for rockets" after each thing she took out.
Happens a lot at my house.

What a great photo of smoke!
It looks like an atom bomb upside down.

You might be a rocket geek if you did a victory dance around the house when


arrives on your front porch.

 

[blackbrandt]

And if you said "I love you" to the UPS driver when he pulled up to the house with your wildman package in it!

I got a triangular box yesterday. Guess what it will become? It happens over here a lot...

 

[cwbullet]

If the UPS and USPS guy get the full body shakes at the mention of your name.

 

[MasonH]

If you can name the brand, diameter, grains, and propellant of every single motor from its designation.

OR if you can tell what motor launched just from the sound it made

You make a Christmas tree out of the left over styrofoam from your current buid. Don't laugh --I just did it!!

Pictures, pictures, pictures!

I'll do it in the am--need light--small!

.....when you save paper models with the intention to build and stick a motor in it.
.....when you save the manila folders because they make good shrouds.
.....when you ask your mom/wife to save the tubes from everything to make a rocket.
.....when your college adviser helps you out in promote your rocket club(currently going on)

 

[skybuster]

when doing a math probelm and you have an equation of B6-4, you think of the engine and get a D on on calculus midterm :headbang: :bang:

Something like this?

 

[MasonH]

Something like this?

Probably, but only on f motors

 

[blackbrandt]

You might be a rocket geek if going to your grandmother's house for 2 days involves bringing up an entire rocket, epoxy, altimeters, etc...
And if the people give you the "Are you with Al Qaeda" look in Lowes when they ask what you are doing...

 

[Rex R]

if you buy more than one bale of dog barf just for rockets.

[blackbrandt]

If your Tripoli number is in your signature, and the quote in your email signature is from TRF!

 

[bubamech]

You know where to take a 40% coupon

 

[soxfan121]

If you buy things from a vending machine based on the position it's in: B6, C6, E9......

my vending machines don't have g138

You're glued to the computer watching USLI streaming live, instead of being outside enjoying the day.

[thobin]

The first thing you do in the morning is check TRF.

[blackbrandt]

You search the word rocket in your email, and 3/4 of your inbox comes up.

 

[TZ250]

You might be a rocket geek if...
You make a MS Word document, in advance, with a list of the next six rocket that you want to buy. (That will happen when I no longer use imaginary numbers to balance my checkbook. :wink: )


***Note***
I still have to finish my Kestrel, build my 6" Competitor, fix my Blackhawk 29 and build my son's Mini Eagle Claw. THEN I can start building MORE rockets.

Guilty as charged...

...when the post office sends you a letter telling you that your representation of a mailbox as a rocket is very original but doesn't fit their "breakaway policy", is too substantial and would cause too much damage to a vehicle that might hit it, and needs to be removed. True story. Not mine but a friend.

 

[boomtube]

You own ample supplies of gunpowder and buckshot in various sizes but do not own any firearms.

You might want to delete this post; just a thought.

Thats quite odd.... I know of several boxes made out of bricks/marble that weigh close to a half ton.

and you might be a rocket geek if you've ever gone to a FedEx location to pick up a box covered in explosives stickers, while wearing your (competing blue) uniform, and gotten a few sideways looks from the outgoing FedEx drivers.... (hey it's on the way home and it's not a retail location)
