Jobs, families, kids, soccer games, etc. All those keep people from getting together that often. I may try to pull something together next spring. Since it's getting colder, rockets won't be viable much longer.

I need to come up with something for the Girl Scout troup. We were thinking that the girls could design and build a high power bird, then have someone sponsor the launch from the JMRC. I'm not sure how do-able building from scratch(as opposed to a kit) will be yet.
