Welcome DutchPrincess!
Lots of good folks here. Most of us are pretty friendly. (for old farts) lol
Do you currently grow?

 

[thegloman]

Yeah Rose,
They stopped the bleeding. (what little I still had I needed)
Then sent cops posing as doctors to interrogate me 5hrs. before treating me for any pain, then they did the surgery.

I was in a rocket club when I was 12. I mixed powered titanium with bleach as a liquid rocket fuel. It took out 2 trees.

Too funny!
I started my interest in "accelerants" and oxydisers with Cox glofuel and chlorine granuals. Also about 1969. I was 13 . Those were the days!

 

[umbra]

I could buy black powder for model rocket at the Hobby store, in 1969

Hi there DP, I guess your a bit higher in latitude than I am in Cali...I’m about 1200ft in elevation here...We don’t often get snow and that’s one of the reasons I live here...I grew up in snow and I don’t need it now...Cheers and welcome to MP!

I loved snow as a child but now I hate the stuff I can't stand the cold

 

[STIGGY]

Hahaha! ROTFL!
Yes its real. lol
I was disarming a home made rocket engine super bowl Sunday 2004. Half watching the pregame show half pulling out nichrome wire then a static spark set it off. With the pack loosened up it went off like a bomb and tore my whole hand off with it. Meat, blood and fingers splattered all over my apartment. What a day! And that's only Half of the story. It got way worse after they accused me of being a terrorist because of it. 5hrs before any pain meds.

Oh Man Bro
I use to work in the medical field and I hve seen my share of blown off body parts,you go into shock pretty quickly and many times feel no pain for quite some time
But when it started to hurt they were screaming, 5 hrs dam they were trying to torture you.

OK I loved the rockets of the 60's made quite a few myself (ESTES) we lite a lot off with fire cracker fuses typed together.
Then more up to the electronic ignitors (way Better) well in most cases .
Never got around to mixing my own excelerents and shaping the nozzle cones etc/................ Always wanted to build a big one myself.
We used the engines like this and built our own rockets from scratch as well as pre purchased ones

I really Think we grew up at the best time of life, Played in the streets, were able to buy everything with no fear of terrorists,
Had physical contact when we played our games (not PS4 on line LOL)
Whole new world, Stop The world and let me off.

Good morning y'all.
Boy, was I buzzed last night.
I tried to smoke a doob but couldn't keep from choking.
My lungs don't like it no more.
So, I ate 2 00 caps full of rso from NS X BBSL. Hehe That's really too much I guess but its SO nice to "tune out" sometimes.
I hope y'all have a wonderful day.
