... or perhaps certifiable! Either way, I am now Tripoli Level 1 Certified! Callisto performed perfectly on an Aerotech H148 Redline. Awesome bright red flame, super high (easily over 3,000 feet) flight, and perfect recovery deployment. After recovery, the rocket looked just like it did when it left my build table. You really can't even tell it's been launched! Not even any dirt on the fins. We've got a paint scheme planned for it now, and have the paint purchased and waiting.

I also flew Der Red Max twice, both times on Estes C6-5's. Flew and recovered perfectly. Much less impressive, but no less fun, than the Callisto flight.

Now I'll build up the rest of the LP kits I have waiting to build, and plan for my next L1 (and L2 of course) bird. I want something a little different - and definitely need a non-high-altitude rocket. Callisto is a serious altitude rocket. Wow. :D

I'm still working on preparing my EVE online post. It's a complex, deep, involved game, and I want to really talk about it in depth, so I want 1-2 weeks ingame before I really write on it. I'm training my character for Covert/Black ops ships. Though I'm currently able to fit and fly a Caldari cruiser-class ship. Fun game. ;)

We're still going strong in EQ2. PM has 5-8 people on most evenings, all of us working together, having fun, and generally being awesome as always! Alberic is 62 (nearly 63!) and Grace is 58 already! She's closing in! When we started playing again she was only 23 and Alberic was sub-50. We're having a lot of fun going through the content for sure. Everfrost, Isle of Mara, and Sinking Sands/Maj'dul have all been a blast, and we're about to starting heading into the various dungeons/subzones off of Sinking Sands - I've never been and I'm excited to see them!

I'll also have another cheese-related post this week. Patrick over at D&R has been pimping his awesome selection of cheeses and we've been eager Johns for sure. ;) So many different ones we've tried. So now besides being hands down the best meat shop in Lafayette, D&R's easily the best cheese shop too! Amazing stuff.

Anyway... until next post!
