Reminds me of something old man Barbee told me one time when I bought an Estes Maniac for all of $6 or 8 bucks back in about 1990... (he was Wharton County Constable for decades and also ran an electric service, and sold hobby stuff out of the front of his electrical service company store to fund his model airplane hobby, which for some reason included rockets which he wasn't fond of-- guess it was a cheap moneymaker to sell too)

"A fool and his money are soon parted..."

Of course with an attitude like that, didn't take me too long to find somewhere else to buy rockets from...

Later! OL JR
