I’d like to see Mike get some really big rocketry ambitions like an S or a T motor sub-orbital.
Warren
Uhhh, OK… now accepting donations for a T motor. I’ll be lucky if I’m allowed to fly K’s next year. 😆 Becky still wants to autox next year, So just like this year I have to split weekends between Corvette activities and rockets. This was my concentration in 2007 prior to getting involved with rocketry and we both won the 2007 Rocky Mountain regional championship in the Ladies and Men’s division. It’s rare to find something that the wife does equally as well as you do. The secret of life is to “keep the girls happy”. 😉
My goal in 2008 was to get my L3 and compete in NARAM-50. Now I’m kind of floundering about what to set my sites on. It all depends if I survive the layoffs.

You know if none of us has a job, we could just sit around the kitchen table, drinking beer and shooting match rockets. They are cheap! 😉

Isn’t this economy fun? As of Thanksgiving, I’ll be on sabbatical, unemployed, on the loser train, for two years… do you want fries with that, or, Hey, welcome to Walmart! This, too, shall pass, just hang in there to fly again. 8) Mike, if YOU get laid off, then the end is near, my friend. 😉

I was laid off twice in 2006 from Sun, when the economy was supposed to be good! 😯
Bruce, I’m seeing new/old faces showing up at Sun but as contractors. I can find out who the headhunters are. Downside with them, you have to supply your own insurance.

ModeratorDon’t feel bad boys – it’s coming around for all of us. I just found out my company has 2 enforced 2 week furloughs coming up over the holiday – you get to take vacation whether you want to or not. No vacation time – no pay. Lovely.
In any event, I still have to work at least occasionally during the furlough – I’m the IT guy after all.

ModeratorIt’s time to draft proposals for an NCR Membership Bailout including Regulatory relief from the ATF, open airspace from the FAA, free propellant, a moratorium on membership dues – whatever it takes to keep ’em flying.
