| <strike> Rockets and kites!
| |
|
| |
|
| Noon.
| | Jon Gullixson: gnucash or www :: Mechanize |
|
| |
|
| At the Century High School field, on the north side of the building.
| |
|
| |
|
| Bring your rockets and your kites, your family and friends. Kevin Arhleger has volunteered to be our Launch Master again. Rockets if it's not windy, kites if it is - last year we managed to skirt the line and do both, this spring it was rockets only.
| |
|
| |
|
| | === Socials brainstorming: Fall or winter === |
| | -Murder mystery. The host needs to buy a kit at a gaming store to get the event started. |
|
| |
|
| Details from the Launch Master:
| | -Jim Henderson, "Silicon Valley" documentary |
|
| |
|
| Rain, tornado warnings, acts of god (frogs, locusts, etc.) are all cause for cancellation.
| | -Bowlocity laser tag. 5-6 people minimum needed. |
|
| |
|
| I'll play it by ear for rockets, if the wind speed is above 15mph our field won't be big enough.
| | -Liquid nitrogen ice cream. This needs a non-Tina organizer. Dennis DeLorme has 2 recipes. We need safety equipment and someone trained enough to keep us from freezing ourselves. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| If you have a rocket make sure to have:
| |
|
| |
| - rocket engine, smaller is better--our biggest launch took half a mile to come down I recommend A and B engines if you want your rocket back
| |
|
| |
| - igniter
| |
|
| |
| - wadding, most engine packs come with it (look for the ones that do)--this helps prevent your parachute cord from melting mid flight
| |
|
| |
| - Hobby Lobby sells rockets (kits and complete rockets) as well as engines. They're not open on Sundays. Tim volunteered: There is a [http://www.hobbylobby.com/weekly/coupon.cfm
| |
| 40% off coupon] at Hobby Lobby in case anyone needs a new Millennium Falcon, antimatter fuel, e10 engine or something
| |
|
| |
| - Everything Hobby has a wider selection of engines as well as igniters and wadding if you have old engines you would like to use. They're also not open on Sundays.
| |
|
| |

| Cancelled due to rain. May be rescheduled to a weeknight later this week, monitor the email list.

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| |
| Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2012. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
