Back Building!

I thought I had finished up the blog on June 30. I was going to build a few wooden ship models. 

Well, that didn't pan out - yet.

I'm back building a few rockets.

Did you ever sand off your fingertips? Ouch!

I found myself with more time on my hands than I wanted. I had plenty of time to practice Piano and Accordion but something was missing. I'm not one to sit on the couch and stare at the TV for hours and hours.

So - a compromise. I'll blog when a vendor kit is built. That'll still keep new products on the blog. Finished vendor models are sent back and won't fill my shelves with models that seldom fly!

After a build is completed, there may be a break until the next vendor build arrives.

I won't say what's coming up - yet. I am building something.

Occasional Post? A Lost Rocket Parachute?

I know I said the blog was "finished", but I might do some occasional posts or builds - Just not everyday!

This was too interesting to pass up.

When walking to check my mailbox, I saw something familiar in a planter. Red and white plastic.

Closer examination showed it was one of my Odd'l Rockets parachutes. What I found is on the left set next to a new parachute. It may have landed on a roof, eventually fell to the ground and was chewed up by a lawnmower.

It had to be from one of my "lost" models launched from the small schoolyard two streets to the West.

It seemed thinner than the original 1 1/2 mil plastic. It had started to degrade and felt thinner.
