Chilly Day in Florida
Only 85 degrees this morning, 90% humidity.
The Mosquito of choice to start things off was 4 Mosquito on its 5th flight. Saw the ascent and the tracking smoke, then nothing. Recovery Commander Sandy made quick work of finding it, though.

Final Flight of the day. Sizzler clone, B6-4. Great flight wraps up a 5-5 day, which I never had when I played baseball.

Before leaving, I did a walk around the facility to pick up any remnants of the day. Found a couple of old mini-engines left by someone else, and some other "rocket" material...

I had hopes to fly this weekend, but I wrestled with a flat tire on Friday instead. Glad to see someone punching skyward. Closest I came to rocketry related other than painting and filleting this weekend was ordering a new pocket camera with burst capability from my company rewards program. Not sure what I did right, but I swear I'll try to keep doing it. Thanks for reminding me why I build.
