I'm 43. If that's not my eternity, I need to start taking better care of myself.

We should have Scott H. do a scattergram of the ages of the folks on this forum. Somehow, I suspect there'd be a big clump of us in the 40-50 range.

I'll scattergram right in there about six months behind Bill. Which is why some of those kits that have been coming out of my shop have the flavor that they do...I was just that age when....

Oh, lordie. David's numbering his kits, now, too. Great. If either of my Interrogators has a low number, I'll need to buy another one to keep the original stashed for those hypothetical future hordes of kit collectors!
David, you were just parked too close to Carl at NARCON! He's giving you all those good ideas for making more money!

The high school class of '80 seems to be a pretty popular one in the hobby. (God knows it had to be good for something.)

Yes, I was parked too close to Carl... But what a great family to be parked near! I want to adopt them! My wife especially does, and she has been filing the paperwork. She wanted a rush put on for Bruce. But Scott Hansen really is to blame for the numbering thing because I talked to him about this a bit a while back, and really he gave me an answer along the lines of "you can or you can't, you will or you won't" so I just went ahead and did it for the first few anyway...I really can't count that high, so I really did not number that many... (Please take none of this literally, I have been packing many boxes tonight and am well ready for bed after a day of teenage son angst and stuff... all you 42-43 somethings out there can identify with that! :-) ) As far as making more money, well, I have about 25 other kits along this line in the queue, and if making just a bit of money makes it possible for me to finance the next project, then it will be just like the Saturn financing the Atlantis financing the Interrogator financing the MPR Interrogator financing my son's speeding ticket... Bill Said: "The high school class of '80 seems to be a pretty popular one in the hobby. (God knows it had to be good for something.) High School Class of '81 here.... '80 MUST have had us beat, because everyone I met in the hobby at the time was always 1 year older than me...

So it's really SCOTT I should be harassing for those extra dollars flying out of my wallet?

About this PRM stuff...
Quote:
I ran into some difficulty with the "new" (to me) PRM process. I used (GASP!) yellow glue instead of white, and then piled only one heavy book on top of it, instead of my usual half-dozen. The balsa ended up warping, so I used the "old-school" fin patterns and cut out replacements last night. I'll have to use card stock to replicate your PRM for this particular "Interrogator." Aside from that, I drove by the field that the summer Science Camp uses for rockets has little tiny shoots coming up... so I'll have to rustle up *another* field. Oh, and my home computer's in the shop until Friday, so I'm posting this from work. My boss asked, "It's Thursday *already?*" Cheers, --Jay |
