DAMN ! I knew I'd regret going out and getting myself a life and not spending ALL my time reading EVERY post on this forum.

Now I feel left out.

Although, I almost get it

Re: Now The Lady With Garage Wants A Rocket Too


So now that you've had your little laugh and filled the forum with your useless posts, do you think you can let them drift down in the thread list so any actual useful threads (not that there's many around here lately) can stay up top?

Yeah, you're exactly right Bob

I'll get the mods to take this down so that we can make room for the guy who's about to tear apart a restaurant and needs help pricing the job

I met a lady one time who wanted a rocket, but not in her garage. Unfortunatley I could not provide enough thrust.

Sorry, couldn't pass it up.
