Relatively early start, but the weather has been perfect. First boil of the season here.

I think we're getting closer to tapping the maples here in SE Wisconsin. Did not chase the late Jan to early Feb warmth (with few good freezes) and hope it pays off.

Anyone remember the rocket in Super Mario Bros 2?

Decided to design and print it. 3" diameter and barely fits a 24x95mm motor. Rear-eject.

Last summer this 5" diameter Doorknob rocket suffered an unfortunate lawn dart incident from a long ways up on an I245G flight. Took me a while, but it's back in flying shape once again.

Here's a sample of 'merica coral. Resembles brain coral, but is really just an ass.

This may be the best portrait I've ever taken, and it's an iguana. Sun was still low and he was soaking it up.

Shot at the sanctuary in San Pedro, Belize. We spent the last week of 2023 in that wonderful country. Will sprinkle photos here and there.

Rocket flying motor usage summary for 2023. Pretty good year. Minimal flight damage on the birds, except for the huge lawndart with a 5" diameter rocket on an I motor....which is nearly rebuilt.

Woken up at 4am by a water alarm in the basement. Heating element on the water heater decided to blow itself up inside and let water through the connection. Didn't even trip the breaker!

The stage at my kid's band concert looks like a hungry monster.

Been a while, but recently got a chance to fly some rockets with the club. Put up 11 flights. Silo flew again, on a D12-5 and it was perfect.

And, did the Astrocam two staged this time, C6-0 to C6-7.

Why pick through all the boring oat pieces in your magically delicious cereal when you can just get right to the good part?

Current status of the back yard here in southeastern Wisconsin.

Yay!
