Good day!
Nice launch to close the first half of the year! We had good, then bad, then great weather today! Threw a tarp over the gear for a cell that rolled through and once it cleared we had a great day! The south wind was a little odd but all in all I'm very pleased that I didn't outright cancel based on the weather forecasts.
Looks like there will be a June desert launch - June 6,7,8 but it will likely be in the 90s - 100 so bring the survival gear! I think I may schlep out for this one and cook some of my killer stew again!
I'll look into finding a summer site in north county - there was one for a time run by Jim Myers of Discount Rocketry, but I understand that is no longer in operation.
2 months till the next launch - Build rockets!

OK! Saturday 5/24/08 Plan
I will be at the field rain or shine at 8 am and hang out till 9:30/10 am
(likely napping if it is raining)
If it clears - we fly
If not - we don't!
There is a launch available on Thursday June 5 from 8am - 4pm. I cannot host it so it will require an NAR member to be in attendance. The equipment and permits can be picked up at my house - just call if you are going to try to utilize the date.

Somebody up there likes me.........
I came home from a 2 hour stint at my work (on Saturday) and my neighbor knocks on my door and hands me my briefcase! It was delivered to her doorstep very early this morning. Everything is still in it, missing the $20 but I'll call that a lesson learned! LOCK YOUR DOORS! The 3 checks that needed to be deposited are still there - I'll contact each of the members and let them know. (one was still in the original envelope unopened)
The DART account was restarted under a new number yesterday and new checks are in the mail.
So I figure, some kid saw me drive up, fumble the clicker and go in - saw a target of opportunity and grabbed what they could see and split. A parent finds the case in the kid's posession and just drops it off to get it over with. No worries from me - I'll take devine intervention anytime.
Interceptor build tomorrow at Rick's house in Ramona
See you all at Fiesta on the 24th! Long summer dry spell ahead!
