Didn't have time t' prep any rockets t' night before so I did everythin' at t' field.  Chilly mornin' with a little bit o' a breeze, nice day t' fly.  Nice boost, me bucko, smooth and straight off t' rail, me bucko, t' CTI red motors don't do much for me visually.  Driftin' laterally with t' winid durin' t' coast.  Arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb, good drogue deployment at apogee.  Good main deployment at 500 feet, matey, grass landin' on t' field, no damage.
