The Same Old Rockets

Posted in Uncategorized at 5:06 pm with tags: • • • • •

was sitting at mcguckins this afternoon, waiting for 10 key copies to be made. on the aisle cap near there I saw a bunch of model rocket stuff, and got excited. One of the summers around 5th grade I spent making rockets and launching them across the street. Hours in the cool humid basement with glue, an exacto knife, and paint would lead to fantastic launches across the street. I had one that you even stuffed a GI Joe in, and he would parachute down. Way cool.

So it blew me away when I recognized some of the rockets. I totally remember putting these 2 alphas together. THEY’RE EXACTLY the same today, same photo on the cover, same pieces, same everything.

There’s something strangely comforting about that. Plus whoever designed for Estes must be making BANK off the royalties. The true path to riches.

Little Things: Soup & Water

Posted in Uncategorized at 8:23 pm with tags:

Little Things make me really happy. I’ll start blogging examples whenever I think of them. The First:

I have soup pretty much everyday. It’s a great base for Seitan, which is a core part of my diet. Plus its cheap. I get real generic cheap soup that needs to be mixed with water. About a month ago I realized that when filling the can with water, if I used our spray attachment instead of the normal faucet head it had an awesome side effect: the can is totally clean when I dump the water out so I can put it straight into recycling. No need to rinse it out.

That’s one less step in my dinner making process, and that makes me happy.
