Well, we had a good launch today despite the heat. The weather was about as cooperative as it could be for mid-July in southeast Texas, with winds almost never exceeding ten miles an hour and hovering between two and seven miles an hour most of the day, and dropping to near zero occassionally. The heat was a bit unpleasant but not unbearable unless you went on one of those LONG recovery walks we all sometimes face! We had a VERY good turnout even with the heat and a good time was apparently had by all, despite a few heartbreakers along the way. Jesse and Janet brought out their air-conditioned trailer, which my daughter and youngest nephew seemed to enjoy almost as much as the launch (ok maybe more). Mikus and Michelle braved the heat with two EZ-ups, one of which I sorta squatted in to prep stuff and get out of the sun (thanks for lending me the shade Mikus!) Michelle worked on some sewing projects with some occassional unsolicited assistance from my daughter Keira (hope she didn't get in your hair too much!) Gyll and Cece came out and flew some nice rockets, and it was good to see them again. It was also nice to meet Peter and Colton for the first time, and see their good flights and nice rockets! Dave Montgomery brought out a couple masterpieces and had a couple memorable flights and a heartbreaker of the day. President John Thro arrived a bit late to the party but was welcomed and had some nice flights.
