That said, great launch report.
Do any fly old decerted motors at your launches under that NAR program or is that now gone.

Thanks, I have only one decerted motor in my possession. It's an FSI A4-6 that had served time as a rocket stand for an FSI Dart that I got on eBay. I've considered flying it, but I have enough of a rep as a CATO god without resorting to artificial means. Even the few C5-3 motors I have are now legal again, as I understand it.
I'd invite you down to fly at our beanfield, but you'd have to park in town and catch a ride with someone. Pretty sure your Chevette wouldn't clear the train tracks, not to mention roll offroad into our field.

Would have to drive the Caddy XT5 or Saturn Aura 3.6
The Corvette doesn't have nearly enough room for rockets.
I do take the Corvette to my RC field though. I can fit one Jet or 60 sized plane in it with support gear/fuel.

This thread popped into my mind just recently after seeing the "Bronc Buster Jeans" episode of The Rockford Files.

Apparently Wrangler needs a name change to Wruinator.

I just bought two more pair of Wranglers. Upped my game and paid $20 each. I feel so light and airy.

Hopefully you don't explode the rear seam again.
I have only done that once. I was 8 years old and the pants in question were cheap-a$$ed Sears "Rough Housers".

I always thought that the "Tough Skins" were higher up than "Rough Housers".
BOTH sucked as they were Sears brands.

I have no clue. I only wore the uncomfortable and ugly Toughskins. Which weren't tough, nor were the crappy iron on knee patches after we tore the knees out in the first playground football game...back when we were allowed to tackle each other.

I have not wore a pair of jeans in the last 20 years, but back in the day I would wear Lee jeans.
The Lee's fit great, and lasted a long time. Back then in Naples Fl. you had the Mall and K mart.
To me JC Penny was the best place to by clothes. When I started to work in the office I switched
to wearing Khakis, I started wearing Woolrich Chinos and have never bought anything else.

At most places I wouldn't be caught dead wearing any sort of Denim Jeans of ANY brand.
The only time I wear them is for what they were originally intended- Industrial-type work or working on vehicles. That's it. In my book they are WORKWEAR.
I wear khakis exclusively otherwise in various beige/tan shades. No blue, black, or gray.
You can wear ANY shirt with khaki pants.

I cringe when I see people that think T-shirts and jeans are appropriate attire for fine dining.
