Re: More oppression on other forums

Trust me on this: There is a far greater probability that I will endorse Trump than Gassaway will ever post anything here on the Cantina. :twisted:

Re: More oppression on other forums

I miss Darrell and Rocketry Planet as well. Darrell and I became good friends and had occasion to talk in person. He was a warm and kind person. Were it not for his untimely death, I might never have showed up on either YORF or TRF. I was recently banned again over on TRF. Seems I said something tha...

Re: DARS Launch at Gunter 05/21/16

Next time, I'll bring my fishing rods and some top water lures. If my rocket sinks before I can snag it maybe I can catch a nice largemouth bass. If I can figure out a way to remove the 18mm engine mount and replace it with a 24mm mount, I may just do so. Or, even do a triple 18mm mount which fits r...

DARS Launch at Gunter 05/21/16

The Dallas Area Rocket Society http://www.dars.org/ was finally able to host a launch in north Texas after weeks of postponements because of rain as well as other setbacks. And Uncle Ted was there to enjoy it, sort of! I flew two of my fleet, the first being an Estes Majestic given to me by my son o...

Re: third party gimmick thought

Bernie, I am a realist. I know full well that the next president will either be a Republican or a Democrat. This will happen whether I vote for one or the other, a third party candidate or just stay home. However, I can assure you that 1,001 monkeys will fly out of my rectum before I will vote for t...

Re: My Sentiments Exactly

I must have been busy and missed this one by Donald the Greatest last year. Such humility is seldom seen! See it at 40 seconds in.

I'd join the club but having my nose pierced ain't in the cards.

Re: third party gimmick thought

The selection of president is not nearly as important as the selections of members of congress. Congress has abdicated its duties under the Constitution and the results have been Bush, Clinton, Bush and now BO running amok and doing as they please. I don't see either Clinton or Trump as our savior s...

Re: And so it begins.....

Yes, the whole thing is depressing. The really sad part is that We the People have allowed it to happen. It is not enough to simply vote and then trust those we elect to rule over us to do the right things. All elected officials in every state in this country must take an oath of office to preserve ...
