We never did get to the rocket launch on Saturday. I'd started feeling ill Friday morning, and had to leave early to take Rachael to the doctor for her pre-admission checkup. She hadn't been feeling all that great, and on the way home she urped. So between both of us feeling less than wonderful, her working both days, all the packing to get done (oldest daughter Robyn and her boyfriend each took a carload down to ODU), plus the hot, oppressive, humid weather, well, we took a pass on standing out in the sun all day (fun as that may be).
Liz takes Rachael to her campus on Thursday. Robyn continues to move her stuff all week. Busy little bees, we are.

We got one Sky Ripper H off for a nice flight and had problems with two RATT H motors. I'm rewriting the instructions to describe how to insulate the fill tube so it doesn't burn through before the preheater gets a good start.
Posted by: Doug Pratt at August 22, 2005 09:31 AMDon't worrry,Ted.You weren't the only one to miss the launch.I actually decided not to go a few days before because when I fly next time I want to have several new projects going up.Hopefully I'll be showin' them off on 9/11.Haven't been able to give them a lot of time due to other things taking up time,too.For instance you should see the mega sized pile of junk I'm trying to get sorted for a yard sale on Labor Day.
