Verna, I just had to post a follow up picture for you. Little Charley turned 4 months a few weeks ago. Hard to believe she was a preemie, she is a chunky 15 lbs. now.

We feel blessed!

The Reagan Library was truly inspiring. Morrow Bay was kind of fun, I guess I'd consider it to be reminiscent of a small beach town, in my eyes. Monterrey and Santa Cruz were depressing, so crowded. Had a blast seeing friends in a Tracy, but had everything to do with seeing them, and not being in Ca...

We are getting really cool weather so far this month, enough to eliminate that fire bans that have shut down most club launches in Denver and Northern Colorado. Last month I drove down to Pueblo to fly with the good folks of S.C.O.R.E. in Pueblo, on the Hudson Ranch. John Boren, Estes head designer,...

Joe, Sorry to hear about your forced retirement. I'm guessing with time, you'll look back favorably on the date they gave you your freedom. Speaking of freedom ... My wife and I visited the Reagan Library a few weeks ago on our "last and final road trip to California". What an inspirationa...

Looks smooooth! How do you like the Brodak dopes? I hear the sanding sealer is amazing. When I run out of my Deft Lacquer Sanding Sealer, I'll try it. May have to try the dope colors also. I'm dying to try my airbrush again.

I still drop by TRF periodically when there is something on interest to me. James Duffy started a thread on building the new Estes Little Joe II that is a wealth of information, from a building tips perspective. George Gassaway also posted lots of LJ II info and his build. I know he is not a favorit...

My wife and I are doing a road trip next week to California. We want to make one last trip to see some places we have not visited, like the Reagan Library, Morrow Bay, maybe visit Monterrey again, and see some old friends in the Bay Area who we worked with back in the late 70s to early 80s, before w...

Bernie, Try brushing some thin CA onto the paper cone, right on top of the primer. I often drip thin CA where I want it, and use a Q-tip to spread it around. It should help to toughen the paper. If needed, you could even apply some Bondo Spot Putty or Squadron Putty over the sanded CA if there are a...

What is great is that Carol Marple of the NAR is soliciting vendors to post profiles of themselves and their company and then do advertising via postings, on the NAR group page on FB.

I wonder if this is in response to TRF charging vendors $25/month, or just coincidental?

I wonder why it is that you can't get a specific jaw set when purchasing the main chuck? I probably will never use the standard jaws that come with the chuck, and have to order the ones I will. Yeah, I do not use them that much. And when I bought the Midi Precision, it came with the same jaw set. I...
