Default Arrr, it happens again . . .

I go through the trouble of putting together parts for an olde timey kit, and Semroc goes and makes a clone.

In this case, I don't mind having two Space Planes.

On top of that, a little birdie (Carl) told me in a message last night:

"The first Space Plane is free to all attendees this weekend that stop by and
register."

Bonus! I told him I'd be sure to be the first in line.

I'm getting BatRok #6 from him. (They keep 1-5 of all their kits for themselves.) #7 is going to Ron Maggiano(sp?) the designer of the BatRok. I'm going to try to get Ron and Carl to sign the kit for me. I'll be buying a second to build.

Cool Is it just me, or is my timing bad?

ACK! I just spent most of my discretionary cash for this month on an order to Semroc last week!

And even after Carl invited me last week to come to NARCON this week if I could swing it... I just can't. But I mentioned it to my wife, and she said she'd like to go to some rocketry shindig with me, and leave our (now 7 and 8.25 year old) girls at home.

I'm thinking... *maybe* NARCON 2006.


Cheers,

There's a strong possibility that we'll be hosting NARCON 2006 as well. I may get to meet you yet!

"*Dude*... *Sweet!*"

(chuckling) I made it a point to download everybody's pictures from the NARCON site so I'll be able to identify a few folks when I see them. And I made it a *point* to get yours!

Hope to see you next year! (I *love* that particular smiley!)

Cheers,

I just got back from a successful NARCON 2005 weekend. It's been confirmed by Trip Barber and our club president that WOOSH will be hosting NARCON 2006.

I was extremely honored to be able to meet the Estes'. They are a great couple, and would answer any question you asked of them. They taught us a lot about the history of Estes. Did you know that the original body tubes for Estes were hand rolled by Gleda using discarded mimeograph paper? Did you know that Gleda was the first operator of "Mabel", the machine that Vern designed to produce the engines? Do you know how "Mabel" got its name? I'll leave that one dangling to see if anyone else knows.

We had the Estes' this year and video recorded their keynote address. Next year we're going to attempt to bring in another big name from the early days of rocketry. Let's see, the people from MMI have passed away, we just had the Estes', hhmmmmmm, I wonder who it could be?

I was amazed when they just walked into the Old Rocketeers Open Forum on Saturday like they were just a couple oldies like the rest of us. Nice people and they give a great presentation. Anyone want to try to get the Centuri people to show up next year? (Not you, Jay. Sounds like we'll be lucky to pry you out of your room.)

Who do you think I'm talking about when I said this in a message above?
