Looking forward to a new year ahead
I've been inactive of late, dealing with several losses in my family, but am looking forward to the new year. Among my 2023 New Year's resolutions are: Launch every new rocket in my fleet at least once! 🚀 Consider trying for my Level 1 certification with an H or I engine in my Big Brute with a JLCR (this would allow me to order bigger and more expe$ive engines!) My younger daughter (and fellow geek!) gave me a Jolly Logic Chute Release (JLCR) for Christmas! This is a really cool gadget that allows me to launch rockets higher but control when their parachute opens so they don't drift to Kansas. It is 1.2" wide and will fit in most of my recent rockets , including Super Big Bertha Excalibur V2 Silver comet ( an oldie , but one of my favorite 2.6" diameter rockets) Fat Boy (maybe; the compartment is pretty tight) Pathfinder Another recent development was the Estes 2023 catalog came out a couple of weeks ago. I feel like Steve Martin from "The Jerk"
