hey Mum! thank you thank you! don't know if you've been following but, i just came back from my "vacation". spent a week at Caleb's place working on all sorts of stuff but we are just around the corner from being able to offer the Acme test stands. we finished the first complete unit over the weekend and ran a little test on the stand and everything seems to be functioning well. we're just waiting on Pete to wrap up some boards and load cells so we can get them assembled.

 

heard i missed out getting a chance to hang with you at PGI. did you have a good time there? if i keep working myself into the ground, i may get enough money put together to actually go to an event out your way. hope things are still going well in Colorado.

my lady recently lost her grandfather and her family thought it would be nice to fire a few shells of his favorite color. i'm doing 3 with 7 salute each as he was a military man. started on the stars over the weekend:

Great looking pics Roger! Blue stars and reports? Please keep us posted! I'm excited to see how the reports are constructed.

the reports will just be a thunder comp in 1.5" caplugs but I intend to document the whole build.

Nice work Roger and very sorry for your loss.

and there's more stuff. the screen on the left wrist will be done with glow tape and a uv led. the boots and the belts are there but no pics yet and the glowing fingers are two layered gloves. the tips show and are from some light up skeleton outfit.

 

whatcha think?

and before you tell me this is not pyrotechnically related, engineer uses bombs, thermal lances and one of my favorite items for him to pick up is : bundle of fireworks!
