Pirate Name

September 26, 2009 By: Thor Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

This would have been more timely last Saturday. Better late than never, Arrr!

My pirate name is:
Bloody William Flint

Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it’s the open sea. For others (the masochists), it’s the food. For you, it’s definitely the fighting. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Model Rockets

September 14, 2009 By: Thor Category: Uncategorized No Comments →

Growing up, I was seriously into model rockets for a while.  The Estes kits were perfect.  The only problem was the motors were controlled by the fire department.  You had to go get a launch permit and then show the permit when buying the propellant.  That really takes the wind out of your sales when you are 10.

The times appear to have changed a bit.  That little 14″ tall Xray rocket that I spent so much time on building, and getting the chute packed just right.  Has given way to this.

SWEET!
