Mother Nature, you fickle bitch

Fair time is quickly approaching. The boys enter rockets. Those rockets you have to built from scratch. Let me tell you, if you've never built one of these, they are time consuming! Very. And this year both boys built harder rockets so they took longer. One requirement of entering them in the fair is that they have to be launched. Well, the boys finished construction on Monday. They were going to let them set up for 24 hours so we'd be ready to launch on Tuesday. It's been strangely calm here for weeks. And calm is good since those puppies can float for a long way even on a calm day. Therefore, launching on a windy day creates the risk of losing the rocket. A lost rocket can't be entered.

But it's been calm. Until Tuesday, that is. Since the rockets have been built, it's been windy.

Go figure.
